Jon Stewart Labels Trump's 9/11 Self-Promotion as 'F***ing Psychotic'

During a ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Donald Trump recounted that two firefighters rescued him, describing how they lifted his large frame and ran with him to safety. Former New York Fire Department deputy chief Richard Alles said he never saw Trump at the site and questioned any role he could have played as a private citizen. The White House responded to scrutiny by calling it an attack on the president.

On his newest weekly show, Jon Stewart sharply criticized the anecdote, calling it "f---ing psychotic" and mocking Trump's tendency to make the tragedy about himself. Stewart suggested the president's primary concern was how the event reflected on his own image, likening his focus to the height of his building. The segment highlighted the ongoing tension between Trump’s self-portrayal and public criticism.
