"I'll never forget " two firemen. We thought it was coming down on top of us that two firemen " big, strong guys " and I'm not the smallest guy in the world " they grabbed me under the arms [and said], you got to get out of here.' And 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. They thought it was coming down. It didn't come down," the president concluded.

Is this what he said?

Where did he say "rubble"?

I read the quote and watched the video.

No mention of "pulled from rubble" or "cleared rubble"

Where did I miss that?

okay....so the silence tells me nobody disagrees?

everyone is going to pretend they didn't fall for yet another headline written by reinshitforbrains.

Trumps entire story could be all a total lie.

but I guess it's too much to expect people to quote his "lie" accurately.

it's necessary to embellish, much like Trump.

That just makes them similar to Trump....which is quite funny really.

FWIW, the headline is the same one that was used on The Drudge Report

not shocked.

people are in a rush to get stories like that out.

Not sure why because Trump serves up fodder like this all day every day.

And then Trump goes to his base and says, "see, these morons won't even try to quote me accurately. Look at this fabricated shit story. You see what I have to deal with?"
