The Aporia · All of Trump’s Deranged Claims About 9/11

Mehdi Hasan hosts a video episode where he critiques former President Donald Trump's statements about the 9/11 attacks. The episode is part of Zeteo's special coverage marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11. No specific numbers or claims made by Trump are cited in the brief note. This appears to be an opinion piece rather than a factual report, as it frames Trump's comments as "deranged" and "absurd".

Written by the local model on 2026-09-11, using this article's own text rather than the other coverage of the same event (that is the story summary below).

Story summary

On October 8, 2024, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was killed, an event that has become a significant marker for young conservatives in America, akin to September 11, 2001 and the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023. The day of his death is now referred to by some as 9/10, symbolizing its impact on political activism among students. Meanwhile, the small Canadian town of Gander played a pivotal role during the September 11 attacks when U.S. airspace was closed, leading to 38 international flights landing there, doubling the population overnight and necessitating an impromptu humanitarian effort by locals to aid around 7,000 stranded passengers and crew members for several days. This act of kindness inspired the Broadway musical "Come From Away," which highlights Gander's generosity and humanity in times of crisis.
