President Donald Trump has often highlighted his role in New York City's response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, even though there is no credible evidence that he was at Ground Zero or directly involved in relief efforts. Recently, during a Fox News interview, Trump claimed he was present when the second plane struck the Twin Towers and said he "worked hard" on a construction project in the city the day after the attacks. He described visiting a construction site shortly after the attacks, where he claimed to have a large team of workers and described the scene as "so terrible and so hopeless." This is not the first time Trump has made such claims. He has previously stated that he had "somebody down there" who witnessed at least 10 people jumping from the towers and falsely claimed that one of his properties is now the "tallest" in lower Manhattan. He also said he had 100 men working at Ground Zero and visited them to show support. However, Richard Alles, a former deputy chief of the New York Fire Department, has denied ever seeing Trump at the site. He noted that all workers at Ground Zero were under the direct supervision of the police and fire departments. Trump has consistently maintained that he was actively involved in the recovery efforts, including helping to clear rubble and spending significant time with first responders at Ground Zero. However, these claims have been disputed by individuals who were present during the aftermath of the attacks. Despite the lack of evidence supporting his presence or involvement, Trump has continued to reference his role in the events of 9/11 in public appearances and political discussions. The White House has not officially commented on Trump's recent remarks about his involvement in the aftermath of the attacks. As the 20th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, the focus remains on honoring the victims and remembering the resilience of those who responded to the tragedy. Trump's claims, while frequently repeated, remain unverified by those who were directly involved in the recovery efforts.
