Trump says firefighters carried him out of a shaking building at Ground Zero; he was at Trump Tower that day
Ahead of the 25th anniversary, fact-checkers found no evidence for the story.
Trump said he sent a crew of construction workers to Ground Zero and that One Liberty Plaza still creaks. The building reopened undamaged in under two months. Asked for proof, the White House gave none and attacked the coverage.
- Trump was at Trump Tower, miles from the World Trade Center, when the towers were hit
- One Liberty Plaza reopened with no structural damage in less than two months
