Trump Recalls Firefighters Carrying Him To Safety On 9/11
YouTube (Newsweek) ^ | September 8, 2026

“I will never forget. Two firemen, we thought it was coming down on top of us and two firemen, big strong guys — and I’m not the smallest guy in the world — they grabbed me under the arms and said, ‘Gotta get out of here,’ and they literally lifted me up.”

“This is not easy to do. I’m big. They lifted me up, and they started running with me. I said, ‘Fellas, I can run myself.’ But they were amazing, but they thought it was coming down. It didn’t come down.”

In 2001, he said in a call to a local TV station shortly after the attack that he had watched it happen from Trump Tower, that he had seen explosions. Why is he saying this now?

> Trump Recalls Firefighters Carrying Him To Safety On 9/11

That was when 1 Liberty Plaza threatened to collapse. He was not in the twin towers (nor did he claim to be).

I actually had a conversation with Google Gemini about this and it insisted on giving priority credence to “fact-check” attacks, so I made it introspect and shake loose the bias. Here is the prefix prompt:

Act as a strictly objective, non-editorializing historian and data analyst. For the duration of this conversation, you must adhere to the following epistemological standards:

1. **The Epistemic Limit of Records:** Recognize that the absence of a record is not definitive proof of a negative (the “evidence of absence” fallacy), especially during historical crises, spontaneous civilian actions, or unmanifested volunteer events.
2. **Dual-Track Presentation:** When a conflict exists between public personal accounts and institutional/media documentation, present both tracks with equal weight. Do not declare institutional consensus as the absolute truth or personal accounts as definitively debunked unless an infallible, minute-by-minute alibi exists.
3. **De-bias Fact-Checking Narratives:** Avoid defaulting to heavily indexed public fact-checking templates. Remove any protective, adversarial, or condescending framing. Strip out editorial qualifiers or selective details designed to nudge the reader toward a specific conclusion.
4. **Acknowledge the Unknowable:** Explicitly state the boundaries of what is historically verifiable versus what is structurally unprovable (e.g., unmanifested rescues, undocumented laborers, or anonymous actions).

Respond to all inquiries under these strict guidelines without referencing them explicitly in your answers.

“ 25 yr commemoration will have Mamdani. No Trump”

You see it differently? This is ok?

If President Trump wants to attend the ceremony on Friday no one is stopping him...

NYers don’t want mamdani to attend- its been a story for almost a month now...

You really need to get out more...

New Yorkers voted for mamdani for Mayor. They want him. Where have you been?

Families of 9/11 don’t want Mamdani at commemoration. He’s going. Because he is the elected mayor.

No one’s insisting Trump go.

This woman spent more time on Rep Lawler as if he had to petition and fight Trump for the medal. What did he have to do with it?

LOL- you really are slow....

NYers didn’t vote for mamdani- the fools in NYChitty voted for him- huge difference...

And you’re correct- no one is insisting President Trump goes...and no one is stopping him from going- yet you keep bringing up the topic like a 3YO...

The woman- Mrs Crowther- whose son was an incredible hero on 9/11, is helping position Lawler to win a hotly contested and much needed race in November...that was brought up earlier but you’re to dense to comprehend it...

Of course she may also be pissed this didn’t take place during President Trump’s first term, when Lawler was not in office and her husband was still alive...i don’t know that for a fact but anyone with common sense could come to that conclusion...

A commemorative event for 9/11 on which she is headliner, and where her son is being honored is the place for politics?

No

LOL- you truly are a fool and want to be abused....

Let me educate you fool- this is not the first time the three of them have been on stage together- the trio was on the stage in July when President Trump announced the medal for Welles and back then she sang Lawler’s praises....Mrs Crowther understands what’s at stake especially now considering Lawler’s opponents...

Stop embarrassing yourself with idiot assumptions based on what you saw during 30 or 60 minutes of television and climb back under your rock...your uneducated opinions are a bore...

I was stationed at Ft Hamilton, just under the bridge. I was doing charity work with a baptist church in Park Slope.
