Trump’s Six Falsehoods About 9/11 as 25th Anniversary Nears
Fact-checkers found no evidence for Trump’s account, while memorial organizers kept the event nonpartisan and denied him a speaking role.
- On Friday, organizers of Manhattan's 9/11 memorial service barred President Donald Trump from speaking at the ceremony to maintain the venue's nonpartisan focus.
- Trump continues promoting fiction regarding his purported heroism during the 9/11 attacks, a pattern of self-promotion maintained for decades despite fact-checkers finding no evidence.
- Fact-Checkers found no evidence Trump participated in rescue efforts at Ground Zero, despite his claims of spending "a lot of time" there. He received $150,000 in federal aid for his Wall Street property, which remained structurally sound.

- Families devastated by the loss of nearly 3,000 souls mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11 today. The memorial remains a day of remembrance rather than a platform for political self-promotion.
