Donald Trump has a new tale (lie) about heroic actions that took place on 9/11. Somewhat shockingly, Trump was not the hero in this lie (we are speculating, but the odds he’s telling the truth?), or at least, not the primary hero. No, this time, Trump is the “almost sympathetic” victim in his own eyes.

Trump says that “two big firemen” pulled him to safety after 9-11 when he “heard creaks” down at Ground Zero, while also predicting that another building would collapse. It did not.

Listen to Trump’s salute to First Responders, albeit in a story primarily about himself: From Vice News and Video Below:

“We were hearing creaks, I’ve never forgotten it, it was I think the United States Steel Building it was called at the time, and it’s 50 stories tall, and we heard creaks. I said ‘that building is going to come down,’ and two big firemen grabbed me, and grabbed other people, and they just moved out of that area. Never came down, but I never heard a noise like that. And it was a scary situation, but the job they did was so incredible, the first responders.”

They are incredible, that is true. Remember, though, this was at a time when Trump was just some blustery wanna-be rich guy. Having just successfully bankrupting Atlantic City, it is likely that very few firefighters liked him back then. If a firefighter ever set a hand on Trump – and we’re more than skeptical – it is just as likely they were pulling him the hell out of the way.

Remember, this is the guy who was on a television call later that day and mentioned (bragged) that he guessed his building was now the tallest in New York City.

“On 9/11 itself, Trump indicated that he watched that attack from afar—and actually made sure to note that the Twin Towers’ collapse meant he now owned the tallest building in lower Manhattan,” Vice News reports. “Though Trump did go down near Ground Zero in the days after the attack, there’s no evidence that he helped—and some evidence that he didn’t follow through on promises to help.”

Yep, it's that time again. Time for Donald Trump to claim he "brought a big crew of people down" to Ground Zero and personally "helped" right after 9/11.

There is absolutely no proof that any of this happened. https://t.co/qFurQo7ttq pic.twitter.com/cc9f8y5fwI

Trump appears to be adding to his 9/11 tall tales on Newsmax.

This time around he says that after he "heard creaks" coming from a building at Ground Zero, he told first responders "that building's coming down" — prompting "two big firemen" to grab him and move him to safety. pic.twitter.com/d0ivahZR9U

Exactly. And who would lie about a sacred topic like 9/11 anyway, right?
