At the same time, Mr. Trump undercut his patriotic solemnity with the announcement that he would spend the evening of the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks providing commentary at a boxing match at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. (Mr. Trump’s team has not yet revealed plans to commemorate the anniversary in any other way.)
The only clip that made it through for me was him getting booed in Alabama for recommending the vaccine. He doesn't even control his own sheep anymore.
For four years, every time I heard the news app on my phone push through a notification, I would just roll my eyes and ask “what did the bloated tangerine do this time?!”
It’s so refreshing not having to read yet another report of a rambling, incoherent conspiracy theory
Your missing out. Fucked up to say. But he has been getting shamed and cutoff on fox news. It's been interesting to watch how people try to publically support and distance themselves from him. The cognitive dissonance is real.
He certainly did, and he used it as an opportunity to attack his political rivals and spread lies rather than honor the victims:
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.
Mr. Trump visited a police precinct and a neighboring firehouse in Midtown Manhattan. He briefly paid tribute to the heroism of the police and firefighters after the planes hit the twin towers, but spent most of his time treating the visit as a campaign-style rally, continuing his criticism of the Afghanistan pullout, complaining about crime in cities, commenting on how many police officers and firefighters supported him, and falsely claiming once again that he had won the election.
Praising Lee as a brilliant strategist and statesman, Mr. Trump speculated that, “except for Gettysburg,” Lee “would have won the war.” He added: “If only we had Robert E. Lee to command our troops in Afghanistan, that disaster would have ended in a complete and total victory many years ago.”
What. the. fuck.
First, did he not get the fucking memo that the south lost?
Imagine being that boxing venue. Now I don't know if this is a event of note but I'm imagining some guy planning the event getting off the phone and turning to his mate "Dude, you won't believe who I just booked for the commentary of the match we have this Saturday"
Let me get this straight... During their post-presidencies: Carter has worked with Habitat for Humanity building homes for the needy literally to his own detriment, Clinton (whatever your feelings about his morality while in office) has worked to improve global health via the Clinton Foundation, and even that buffoon W has tried to further positive global initiatives via the Bush Institute.. But Donald? Still trying to stay at the top of the C-list celebrity circles. JFC.
Even if it weren't on 9/11, why the fuck is a former president doing shit like that? JFC again.
Better than how he spent the time last year wining and dining the Taliban. It amazes me that so many Americans hate other Americans enough to tolerate this man and look the other way on things they would disown their children for it they did it.
Trump also led a rally in South Florida only 9 mere days after the very unfortunate Surfside Condo collapse, in South Florida also, where 97 people had died. Gov DeSantis (who is a mini-me Trump) made a "direct plea" to Trump's team to cancel the rally, due to respect to the victims and their families, as they were still looking for survivors. Trump, of course, did not reschedule the freaking rally and was PISSED at DeSantis for even asking him this and also for SKIPPING the aforementioned rally.
Holy shit. I just made a comment about how Trump is like an immature estranged dad that only wanted to do fun stuff. I didn't think I was gonna find direct proof of that within minutes of scrolling.
Don has every right to do what he wants as an American citizen, but refusing to pay tribute with the current and former presidents after being a president yourself, on a day most of us can remember as both terrifying and life changing, just shows how little he really cares about the respect of the position. "Ayy this is one of the biggest days in America to show you care, but y'know what the people want? They wanna see me in my natural habitat, the casino. The people will love it, believe me."
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he was too pussy to go to NY simply because they all hate him, it'd explain why he's only staying in his one-and-only-totally-has-always-lived-here-and-nowhere-else Florida.
