President Donald Trump has routinely tried to put himself in the middle of the story of New York City’s recovery after September 11, 2001 — despite no evidence showing he was at Ground Zero in the wake of the terror attacks or marshaled resources to support relief efforts.

Yet the president continues to insert himself into the narrative each year the nation approaches the anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
