President Donald Trump exploded this Wednesday against the New York Times after the Democratic rag lied in one of its articles claiming that the president was never at Ground Zero after the September 11 attacks in New York.
"The failed New York Magazine wrote a story that I was not at the World Trade Center after the tragedy of September 11 because no one saw me there", Trump said in response to the newspaper's claim. "Well, I don't think I was the first thing on anyone's mind, but I was there, obviously not the same day of the collapse, but shortly after, with a large group of construction workers," he detailed.
The president shared several video clips and photos of himself on the ground near the site of the terrorist attack. In the shared audiovisual material, the Republican mogul can be seen speaking with reporters on September 13, 2001, when he stated that he had been at Ground Zero, describing it as a "disaster." In another clip from that same day, Trump is seen discussing the impact that the terrorist attack had on the city.
Trump also responded to another article from the New York newspaper that talks about his visit to the Pentagon on Friday to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the attack on the towers. In the rag's report, written by "journalist" Maggie Haberman, it is claimed that the president went to the Pentagon instead of New York because "he wanted to give a speech and the annual event has long prohibited speeches."
