A 19-year-old self-proclaimed “survivalist” was busted inside Trump Tower with a bag of weapons and fireworks — and told authorities he breached security there at least once before since the election, police sources said Tuesday.

And authorities “believe his story,’’ a law enforcement source acknowledged to The Post.

Alexander Wang, a Baruch College student, was busted Monday around 6:35 p.m. after strolling into the heavily guarded high-rise at 721 Fifth Ave. — the Manhattan home base of President-elect Donald Trump, sources said.

Wang was stopped by Secret Service at a checkpoint inside the building and asked what he had in his backpack, sources said.

Wang readily told them, they said.

When agents checked his bag, they found out he was telling the truth, uncovering a large hunting knife in the pouch, an M100 firecracker, handcuffs, a switchblade, a flashlight, an 8-foot-long black rope and a garrote, sources said. It wasn’t clear what the garrote, a weapon used to strangle a person, was made of.
