Demented Man Makes Up New Stories About 9-11

At an event ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, President Donald Trump told a story Tuesday in which he said two firefighters picked him up off the ground near the U.S. Steel Building close to ground zero “right after” the terrorist attacks and whisked him away because they thought the building was going to collapse on them.

“I’ll 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 arm, said, ‘Got to get out of here,’” Trump said, without specifying exactly when the incident occurred.

“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,” he added.

That's just a pack of lies. Ted Cruz, one of Trump's most loyal toadies, excuses Trump from his lies because 9-11 was a long time ago:

Yeah, right. If you're 31 or older, you remember where you were and what you were doing when you learned of the attacks. Just like if you're 68 or older, you remember where you were and what you were doing when you learned that JFK had been shot.

Trump makes up shit and he's always the hero in his own story, except for his racism, pedophilia and draft-dodging.
