There were opportunities for Trump to join other presidents at the Pentagon, in Pennsylvania, and ground zero in New York. What makes you think that a former president needs an invitation?
From the New York Times: "Notably absent from the 9/11 memorial ceremonies on Saturday was former President Donald J. Trump, a native New Yorker who built much of his political brand in the divisive aftermath of the attacks. “He had the option to attend but decided to honor the day with different stops,” his spokeswoman, Liz Harrington, said. President Biden, former President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton all attended the somber name-reading ceremony in Lower Manhattan. Former President George W. Bush spoke at a memorial near Shanksville, Pa., where Mr. Biden attended a wreath-laying ceremony. But instead of appearing at one of the ceremonies, Mr. Trump released a series of aggressive statements that criticized Mr. Biden’s handling of the troop pullout in Afghanistan and praised his allies, including Rudolph W. Giuliani, his personal lawyer and the mayor of New York on the day of the Sept. 11 attacks. Lee Cochran, a spokeswoman for the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, confirmed that Mr. Trump had been given the same information about the ceremony as the other current and former presidents who did attend. “You would have to ask Trump’s team about their decision, but he did not attend today’s commemoration,” Ms. Cochran said." Do you think that Donald Trump has any sensitivity or respect regarding the 9/11 tragedy? One of the many disrespectful statements he made shortly after it happened was that his 40 Wall Street property was again the tallest building in Manhattan. |

Quotes: Former President Donald Trump made a visit to a New York City firehouse Saturday afternoon to meet with first responders in the city. During his meeting, he expressed support for the NYPD. "We love the blue," Trump said while speaking with members of the New York Police Department and Fire Department. "I'll say it loud. You know you're not supposed to say that. We love the blue!" "The support I've been given by fire and police has been incredible," he added. Also, that Trump video is a montage-- former stuff plus some current stuff. Puts the 9/11 topic into historical perspective. |
