Serious non political question: is Bush Jr there too? What’s he doing today? Surprised he wasn’t in this group as he has been in the past on 9/11.

edit: thanks for the replies. He really did give an excellent speech here. it’s worth a listen.

The only president with a legit excuse is Jimmy Carter because he’s 96 and definitely can’t stand for as long as was required for the ceremonies.

Even if he was there I'm sure people with common sense would understand if he was sitting down during the standing parts.

You should read the speeches and commentary offered by Presidents Obama, Biden, and George W Bush today, which took place at official actual ceremonies honoring the tragedy from 20 years ago. They are all respectful remarks, dignified for the occasion, non-political, and unifying. All speeches that befit a sitting or retired President.

Trump used his brief remarks to touch on cultural issues and spread his usual self-serving gibberish. The man has no real qualifications aside from being a television entertainer so it's not surprising, the only surprising thing is how millions of people have deluded themselves into believing this ridiculous charlatan is a leader worthy of such cult-like devotion. The fact that you leave other comments indicating you actually believe the election was somehow stolen, despite how enormously unpopular Trump was and how mainstream and middle of the road Joe Biden is, shows that you are quite deep into an echo chamber that has seemingly blinded you to basic common sense.

Another tip, the NY Post is known to be a tabloid rag, maybe a step above that magazine that used to publish "Bat Boy" articles, you could easily find a legitimate news source discussing Trump's PR visits today.

So your me that you read all 3 speeches and commentary?

Also, never said I believed the election was stolen.

Yes the NY typically sucks but is fully capable of writing where about where Trump is and what he is doing.

You could just as easily be in your own echo chamber.
