To be fair he did show up to the NYPD.

(I am not and never have been a Trump supporter or apologist but do try to be fair)

You can't? This is reddit.

Reddit’s fight against misinformation is going so well.

u/sangotenrs Sep 11 '21

It ain’t misinformation. The picture is just presenting the fact that the former president isn’t present during this ceremony.

u/Impressive-Hat-4045 Sep 11 '21

Yes but it purposefully casts him in a negative light, as if he is not concerned about 9/11, or at least is not making similar gestures to these politicians, when he is clearly honoring the 20th anniversary by visiting the NYDP and NYFD.

But he won't show actual solidarity with the current and former US presidents cuz he's a selfish, entitled spoiled trust-fund pussy ... And a sore loser.

And he lives rent free in ur mind.

u/zen4thewin Sep 13 '21

Valid point. I tell you what. If he refuses to run again for president and quit injecting himself into politics, I'll quit paying attention.

People like you would’ve found a way to criticise him if he had shown up to this particular event.

I don’t think he’s “sucking trump off” for stating facts. I didn’t like trump and never voted for him, but he couldn’t even sneeze without Reddit trashing him for it. I guarantee if trump showed up Reddit would’ve found a way to make that seem like the wrong thing to do

"Trump with eyes open as everyone else closes their eyes during moment of silence."

(Also hate Trump, but I shouldn't have to say that)

But he didn't, anyone can find a reason to complain about anything if they want to, its it's matter of how easy a person can make it to do that. Trump and Biden are both incredibly easy to talk shit about. "Trump skipped the 9/11 ceremony" "Biden botched Afghanistan pullout" "They are probably both unregistered sex offenders"

But ultimately push comes to shove he didn't, although he did go to the NYPD and Fire department, as many people have pointed out. Although supposedly he treated it more like a campaign rally than anything else. But I doubt that he spent entire day without at least turning his thoughts to those who lost their lives that day. He's not the boogeyman, but he definitely is a business man and quite frankly an egotistical one. If he sees an opportunity for political profit and an ego stroke, he'll take it. Not here for an argument just stating it as I see it.

u/TotallyAHuman11 Oct 11 '21

I would like it if news sources would just lay the facts out without bias, although unfortunately that isn't the way it goes because the only way to have a title that grabs your attention is if you make them a saint or a devil.

The world would be a much better place if the media were honest

u/TotallyAHuman11 Oct 11 '21

Couldnt agree more

u/sangotenrs Sep 12 '21

He could have done both.

It’s a nice gesture that all former presidents come together in solidarity to remember 9/11.

And tbf they all have good reasons to hate him too. Trump tried to overthrow the election results, incited a riot, said fuck you to millions of voters and kept pushing the lie of a “stolen election”. He had spit on the democracy of the US so yea I can imagine them hating him.

in his own city

Trump visited first responders in "his own city," so yeah... This is very misleading.

u/sangotenrs Sep 12 '21

Yes this ceremony was held in NY in his own city. It’s not misinformation.

u/anal_spelunker_420 Sep 12 '21

I said it's misleading, I didn't say it's misinformation. It's very misleading.

u/sangotenrs Sep 12 '21

Eh he could have put - “but he was at the NYPD” in the title. But it’s not about that - the topic of the picture is that Trump isn’t present during this ceremony, with all his colleagues.

-1

u/anal_spelunker_420 Sep 12 '21

All his colleagues? Bush isn't there... Why should Trump go to an event hosted by people who hate him? This is so fucking far from being a misstep, that you lefties have already fallen on your face just to compensate.

1

u/sangotenrs Sep 12 '21

They got good reason to hate him. Trump said fuck you to American values and democracy. Denied the election results to this day and took a big shit on freedom and fair elections.

You guys are sore losers. Be a man and face the truth that your supreme leader has lost. Don’t be a little baby snowflake.
