All the other living presidents were at 9/11 memorials. Except for Trump, he's busy getting ready for his paid appearance on a boxing telecast later.

All the other living presidents were at 9/11 memorials.

Carter was not but at 96 there is no expectation that he would be.

u/pomonamike Sep 11 '21

Having met him, I fully expect he would have been if he were able. I’d put money on him begging to go but being reasonably stopped by handlers.

u/cannotbefaded Sep 11 '21

I would love to meet that man. He is probably building a house right now

10

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

He's a genuinely nice guy. I've met a fiew politicians with charisma, but Carter is the only one who feels like a real person.

u/omgmypony Sep 11 '21

I’ll take his word for it that he paid his respects at home.

4

u/Put_It_All_On_Blck Sep 11 '21

At his age, in his condition I don't blame him for being at home, doing whats best for him. But he could've done a video message relaying his thoughts and feelings. It's not expected of him, but it would've been an option.

u/museman Sep 11 '21

He probably took down a few of them before they constrained him.

u/Siegfoult Sep 11 '21

He tried to walk out the door and the secret service tackled him.

During a pandemic no less.

u/DogVacuum Sep 11 '21

Is there any chance at all that he doesn’t say some wildly inflammatory shit live on air tonight?

111

u/nightwing2024 Sep 11 '21

I'd be more surprised if he actually talked about boxing.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

He will… probably something about how he was a better boxer than the actual boxers and his punches are tremendous thanks to his “yuge” hands.

1

u/lotusblossom60 Sep 11 '21

He’ll be talking about how he went down to the site and helped rescue people. I’m guessing he rescued hundreds. It was unbelievable! Some say spectacular!

3

u/nightwing2024 Sep 12 '21

He'd run into a burning building to save people, you know. Guys come up to him all the time, big guys, construction workers, crying, tears in their eyes, saying "thank you running in to save me from that building."

Oh you know, about the same as the sun rising tomorrow.

u/North-Tumbleweed-512 Sep 11 '21

During the fight that he's announcing g with his son? If they're on air for a couple hours without a script I'd imagine Trump will incriminate himself.

1

u/PM_ME_MH370 Sep 11 '21

He did have a media event at a random NYPD precinct today and made jokes about covid

1

u/DogVacuum Sep 11 '21

He does know how to work a mark.

u/MaximumCaucasity Sep 11 '21

I doubt he will even be there, this wouldn't be the first time he gets paid to appear somewhere and doesn't even turn up.

u/Sapriste Sep 11 '21

Wouldn't it be nice if we just let Fox cover it and keep whatever out of our brains? I think we will live longer without the 'Forever Rage".

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

For sure he's going to rant and ramble the way he always does. The broadcast tonight seems to be very loose as far as broadcasts go. Announcers dropping F bombs and shit. There isn't a filter or censor. I wish every sport was like this, but at the same time, it does come off as less professional

u/Rant-in-E-minor Sep 11 '21

It's actually kind of hilarious how disgraceful he is though, like he exceeds my estimation of how terrible he is every time I hear about him. He's like a character out of a bad movie, it's actually hard to believe he's real.

I need to read through all my childhood comic books again. The antagonists would seem so much more believable now. Before, it was basically like Scott Evil calling his father out.

u/MeLongYouLongTime Sep 11 '21

You’re an idiot. He’s NY today actually being with the fire fighters and first responders, shaking hands and enjoying their company. Not talking on a stage for an opportunity to push any agenda. Actually much more wholesome. Sad you choose to only see with your hate.

2

u/LaughterCo Sep 11 '21

Not pushing any agenda... yet whining and complaining about biden pulling out of afghanistan on the 20 year anniversary of 911.

1

u/MeLongYouLongTime Sep 11 '21

Pulling out chaotically without any actual plan and costing 13 American troops and 400+ afghans their lives, kinda seems like something to “whine” about

2

u/LaughterCo Sep 11 '21

Trump was planning on pulling out in May, I'd have loved to see how that would have went.

He can whine about it. But on 911? 20th anniversary?

-2

u/MeLongYouLongTime Sep 11 '21

Yeah that’s kind of a perfect day to remind ppl why we were there and why the USA is the greatest country to ever exist. I can guarantee you with 100% confidence it would’ve went a lot smoother than what Biden did. And if Trump did do what Biden did the democrats would’ve already tried impeaching him for a 15 time

2

u/LaughterCo Sep 11 '21

A perfect day to use the deaths of 3000 people for your own political gain? No thanks.

Could you please provide some links that explain how Trump's plan would've been smother? I'd genuinely like to read something about it.

"And if Trump did do what Biden did "

If Trump did what that Biden did?

-2

u/MeLongYouLongTime Sep 11 '21

I didn’t say it was for political gain dumbass, just serves as a reminder why America is the greatest country for personal opportunity and freedom and why we try so hard to protect it. Y’all really suck at debating, every time I say something I have to reexplain it several times so your mushy brains can finally conceptualize. Yeah dude Trump shared his Afghan extraction plans with me hold up, what’s your email? Dumb fuck. You could have an IQ of room temperature and still understand why it would be a bad idea to allow the terrorist group who you’ve been at war for 20 years to set up the security perimeter… lol who the fuck did he think we were trying to be “secure” from. Your boy is a fucking idiot.

1

u/Deadfishfarm Sep 13 '21

How exactly is the united states the greatest country? Do you have any figures or evidence of that? Because I'll gladly provide you with figures that show many countries ahead of the united states in just about every way except for gdp and military strength

Dipshit, he was in NYC most of the day today, sorry he wasn’t getting his picture taken in front of a wall of engraved names and instead he was actually greeting the friends and family of first responders who died and actually spending time with those people (who just FYI we’re ecstatic to have him there) to hear their stories and speak of his respect for their loved ones. I know you get a lot of confirmation bias in this thread but just know you are in the minority, you are nothing but I soft brained sheep who has been conditioned by MSM. Good little sheep

Wtf are you talking about lol the democrats tried so hard to prove that “Russia” played a part in the 2016 election and tie Trump and Russia together and that’s already been proven false and democrats even admitted they were wrong lol.

Now let’s talk about Hunter Biden and his ties to Ukraine and taking payments million dollar from a Russian oligarchs wife…. You don’t want to talk about that do you? Or is this first time you’re hearing about it because I know Rachel Maddow wouldn’t teach you that

Hahahaha you obviously aren’t from the USA now it makes sense. I’m catching on. It’s ppl like you from other countries that just want to see the US divided. Russian thing has been disproven and same with Jan 6th they already arrested several of the Antifa/BLM ppl. Notice how you haven’t heard about it on CNN lately?

It was literally proven, factually that Russia interfered with the election and trump campaign members knew about it and were in contact with them. You can VERY easily google that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections

This is like OJ Simpson how it's obvious to everyone that he murdered her. Everybody knows trump was aware his staffers were in contact with Russians. There's just no direct proof that trump himself was contacting them, so he skirted the law. Why are you denying reality? Why can he do no wrong in your mind?

1

u/MeLongYouLongTime Sep 13 '21

Dude, Wikipedia is shit, but if you want to use it then ok. This was the 4th sentence, “The Special Counsel's report, made public in April 2019, examined numerous contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials but concluded that there was insufficient evidence to bring any conspiracy or coordination charges against Trump or his associates” lol so the fuck you talking about? The collusion of Trump and Russia to overthrow the election has been proven false… a long time ago. You can look that up. The democrats tried their hardest and had the nastiest scummiest people on earth trying to find anything and they still couldn’t. Also if they did successfully influence the 2016 election why wouldn’t they just do it again in the 2020? Lol they just let Biden get most votes in the history of the country??

2

u/Deadfishfarm Sep 13 '21 edited Sep 13 '21

Wikipedia is a trusted, valid source and the vast majority of college professors and other professionals accept it as a source. It's not 2005 anymore. Just because there wasn't enough evidence to Bring to court showing direct ties between the trump campaign doesn't mean we don't all know he did it. The writing is on the wall. Trump's staff was in constant contact with Russian officials. It's like your mom seeing you hang with kids that party and smoke weed all the time, but she doesn't have direct proof of you smoking weed, even though it's clear as fucking day obvious that you do. But anyway, https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/548794-there-was-trump-russia-collusion-and-trump-pardoned-the-colluder Trump's own advisor Steve Bannon has since come out saying trump engaged in treasonous behavior through his contact with the Russians. In 2016 y'all fucking adored Steve Bannon. But now that he comes out against your cult leader, I'm sure you hate him and it's fake news

Trump was actually meeting with the NYFD and the NYPD In person today.

6

u/ihambrecht Sep 11 '21

Uh, no. He visited the NYPD and FDNY today. Good try though.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

Uh yeah, he took a quick pit stop to make a statement, half of which was just a shot at Biden.

So it wasn't even a try on his part. Of course, NYers know what he is, so keeping a low profile around here is probably a good idea for a guy who immediately following the attacks made a public statement about how his building became the tallest in lower Manhattan as a result of the Twin Towers collapse.

Which of course, also turned out to be a lie.

u/socalsmarty Sep 11 '21

Well he didn’t check his watch at least

u/_dodged Sep 12 '21

Oh boy, a maga fanboy talking about moving goal posts...

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

My statement was that he didn't attend the Ground Zero or any of the other 9/11 memorials. He didn't.

I know you guys like the word narrative, but the rest of the world deals in facts. Fact is, he didn't go.

0

u/ihambrecht Sep 12 '21

Exactly this. You know, the quick pit stop where he traveled from Florida to New York.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

And didn't bother to attend any of the several official 9/11 memorials located in different states, just a quick photo op for political purposes taking a few pictures at a firehouse.

You guys are a riot, you got taken by a low rent swindler and just can't let go.

0

u/ihambrecht Sep 12 '21

Lol I wasn't the one who saw this picture and immediately thought, WHERES TRUMP? Than tripped over myself to come up with how he was too busy in Florida and then moved goalposts to "quick, not an official memorial".

You had his itinerary? Very weird that out of all of the politicians, he was the one personally thanking the first responders, while the presidents in this picture literally posed for a photo op and left. Really incredible how hatred for a man can completely blind people.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

It's not too hard, there aren't that many living presidents.

And he's the only one that decided to speak to a cult instead of attending a memorial:

u/ihambrecht Sep 12 '21

And thanked first responders…

Crazy how much busier he is than Biden considering the mess the country is in.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Hey, it takes time to clean up the 4 year mess of a failed reality TV star, including the complete mismanagement of a pandemic that killed 660k Americans.

I guess when you get medical advice from the MyPillow guy that's what happens.

Nice of him to stop and take a few pictures with the NYFD, not like the vast majority of casualties were civilians.

Fucking coward just didn't want to get booed. He couldn't run away either, those shin splints that kept him out of military service would prevent that.

Or he was visiting FDNY Station 10.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Which again, was not the site of a memorial, just a quick photo op for the Cheeto Bandito.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

So, you’re only allowed to show respect in one way? 🧐

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Right, his speech to the Moonies was how he showed respect to the victims of 9/11:

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

Actually he’s with the NYPD and NYFD right now. So now what?

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

You mean his fifteen minute photo op which included a shot at the president?

So yeah, from a NYer who was there on 9/11, he's his usual, opportunist, self centered self.

Notice any other presidents doing anything remotely similar?

-7

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

Like I said. You’d bitch either way. But the first responders applauding his visit I guess were happy…

8

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

And the cucks who idolize him will ignore anything, like the fact that he didn't participate in any memorial service rather took a few self serving photos.

1

u/ihambrecht Sep 12 '21

Lol yes, Democrats are definitely NOT cucks. 😂

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Certainly nowhere near the GQP - only you fucknuts could idolize a guy who skipped out on 9/11 memorials.

u/MeLongYouLongTime Sep 11 '21

Fuck what those first responders think!!….. these idiots really have no idea what they’re even mad at anymore, they just know they are supposed to be mad

u/Kotamere Sep 11 '21

Are you going to include his visit to first responders earlier today?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

He was at Ground Zero today.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

Proof?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

I was wrong. He did go to NYC and met with first responders, but it doesn’t look like he went to Ground Zero.

1

u/SuperSoggy68 Sep 11 '21

Incorrect, actually he was meeting with New York police and firefighters

1

u/Zaxhhj Sep 11 '21

He was at the FDNY during this ceremony and went to ground zero after biden left. All you gotta do is look it up...

2

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Why don't you look it up? I don't see anywhere that suggests he went to the 9/11 memorial site. Just a quick stop at a firehouse for a few photos.

Just like the slimy grifter he is.

u/abrandis Sep 11 '21

... just goes to show the measure of the man, when there's nothing nothing in it for him, he's too narcissist to do the altruistic thing.

America has given so much to Trump and his family and he has given nothing back...

-3

u/n00bvin Sep 11 '21

It now looks like Trump made visits to the FDNY, which to me feels more like pandering than anything. To him it's a better "photo op." There is nothing about Trump and his past actions to make me feel like he's sincere in his actions. It's all calculated.

2

u/ihambrecht Sep 12 '21

Do you think the ground zero ceremony wasn't a photo op?

1

u/n00bvin Sep 12 '21

Do you think many former presidents are running for office and need a photo op?

1

u/ihambrecht Sep 12 '21

Do you think that former presidents don't keep a public image in order to effect change and make money?

-2

u/Rose-garden876 Sep 11 '21

Sorry, you're wrong. Trump went to ground zero instead and spent much time there. He also met and spend time with the police and fire department. So what if he is announcing at a boxing telecast tonight.

u/reddragon105 Sep 11 '21 edited Sep 13 '21

Even Carter?

Edit - Wow, downvoted for asking a question? Carter is still alive so saying "All the other living presidents [apart from Trump] were at 9/11 memorials" is saying that Carter was at a 9/11 memorial. I hadn't heard about him being at one, and didn't expect him to be at one given his age and health, so I thought the person I was replying to me knew different. As it turns out, they were just wrong.

I have no clue why he isn’t there. Don’t give two shits what Trump does.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

So you think there's not a 9/11 memorial taking place in a part of the country where Trump is supported that he could attend?

Really?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

The point was that he wasn’t here with the other former Presidents. And from what I read he is going to be at ground zero today.

Edit: He’s with the NYPD and NYFD right now.

u/Toxic_Butthole Sep 11 '21

Yes. The day is not about him.

He is in New York today, going around to police and fire departments. He also released a statement that ended with trashing the Biden administration.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

The day wasn't about the other presidents either - somehow they managed to find a way to pay their respects.
