‘We Worked Long And Hard’: Trump Tells Fox News He ‘Went Down’ To Ground Zero The Day After 9/11 2026

Bulgaria News

President Donald Trump told Fox News’s Trey Gowdy that he “went down” to Ground Zero the day after September 11, 2001 and “worked long and hard,” as part of his recollection on the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attack.

“I had an apartment where I’m viewing the World Trade Center from midtown. I was downtown, but it’s not very far when the building is 115 stories tall. And I’m viewing this thing happen, and I’m saying, ‘That’s crazy. Couldn’t be a plane. Maybe it was a missile,’” Trump said on Sunday Night In America With Trey Gowdy.

He continued:

And then I saw the second plane hit, and you saw that coming, and you’re watching it and it’s — because I watched the air patterns for years, and you know where the planes are, they go right up the Hudson River. This thing was coming right into the second building. And I said, “Wow!” So I watched that happen, and I said “Wow, we are now in a different time.” So I saw it and I said “The world has just changed.” And I went down. I was building a building in New York and I had a lot of construction workers, and I went shortly after, the following day. You couldn’t go down the same day. But, like the following day. Very quickly afterwards, and we worked long and hard.

Trump has repeatedly told the story about helping to clear rubble on 9/11.

At a 2016 rally in New York, Trump said, “Everyone who helped clear the rubble, and I was there, and I watched, and I helped a little bit, but I want to tell you those people were amazing. Clearing the rubble, trying to find additional lives, you didn’t know what was going to come down on all of us, and they handled it.”

Trump has also claimed that he had “a couple hundred people down there” helping with recovery efforts.

“PolitiFact, USA Today and Poynter said they were unable to verify whether he paid workers to help or that he was there, either,” Newsweek reported.

Some pundits on social media reacted vehemently to Trump’s interview.

Meidas Touch’s Ron Filipkowski posted a phone interview with Trump recorded on 9/11 where his “initial reaction to 9/11 was to claim that he now owned the tallest building in downtown Manhattan.”

The reporter asked, “Donald, you have one of the landmark buildings down in the financial district, 40 Wall Street. Did you have any damage, or what’s happened down there?”

Trump answered, “Forty Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan. And it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallest. And then when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second tallest, and now it’s the tallest. ”

Social media observer JoJoFromJerz told her one million followers, “I gotta say — it’s this lie — this f*cking lie, that does sh*t to me nothing else he says ever could.”

“I lived in NYC right before 9/11. My roommate worked in the towers. My then boyfriend did too. I walked past firehouses who lost ten guys that day. We all lost friends. And for this cowardly silver spoon fed f*cking piece of shIt to say he HELPED at ground zero, when we ALL know he didn’t and that he bragged about his building being the tallest after they fell…Come on. I don’t care how you vote, you know that’s f*cked up,” she wrote.

BrooklynDad Defiant wrote, “Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees that Trump needs to shut his damn lying mouth about 9/11, because all HE did was brag about having the TALLEST building on 9/11, he didn’t help ANYONE. So sick of his constant bullsh*t.”
