The eighteenth anniversary of the 9-11 attack was commemorated this morning in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. Every year, the names of the fallen are read at the Twin Towers memorial in Manhattan, the Pentagon and at the site of the crash of flight 93 near Shanksville, PA. Following the attacks, we were united as a country in our resolve to rebuild and to bring the terrorists to justice.
Sadly, this day was marred by narcissist and tweeting twat Donald "The Chosen One" Trump, who made the day about himself, his poll numbers, Hillary Clinton and the media. This is the same depraved moron whose first thought after the Twin Towers were brought down was that he then had the tallest building in lower Manhattan.
Just days before, Trump had planned to stage a despicable photo op at Camp David with Taliban leaders, the group that sheltered and provided support to al Qaeda before and after 9-11 and that continues to attack our forces in Afghanistan. It's likely that neo-con former National Security Advisor John "Loose Bolt" Bolton lost his job over his adamant opposition (probably leaked to the media) to the outrageous scenario.
This morning, almost as an afterthought following his whining about the press and poll numbers, Trump tweeted out an insincere tribute that was quickly met with scorn.
Here is your annual reminder -— Jon Fish 🐠 (@lionel_jon) September 11, 2019
Trump’s first thought on 9/11 was the height of his own building.
He then LIED about helping out.
He CLAIMED money for damage.
He LIED about Muslims ‘dancing in celebration’ in New Jersey.

As we remember the shock & horror of 9/11, we morn the loss of 3000 lives & honor the heroism of the first responders. We also remember that the current POTUS lied about 1000’s of cheering Muslims & bragged about then having the tallest building in lower Manhattan.— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) September 11, 2019
Which part will you never forget- the part where you didn't lift a finger to help? Or the part where you bragged that your building was now the tallest? Or the part where you said thousands were celebrating in Jersey when that absolutely never happened?— Rick LeBeau (@rick_lebeau) September 11, 2019
Glad you finally got around to a 9/11 tweet today...must have been hard to remember it this morning while you were tweeting about...polls...sad.— 5184290538 (@5184290538) September 11, 2019
You know what else we won't forget...you were going to let the Taliban set foot in Our Country.— Packergrl88 (@BoweBritt) September 11, 2019
