President Trump yesterday gave a new account of what he says happened in the aftermath of the September 11th terror attacks. Speaking at a ceremony honoring those killed, Trump said he went to lower Manhattan shortly after the attacks and claimed two firefighters physically carried him to safety when a nearby building appeared ready to collapse.
