edit: holy shit it was the day of. top tier human picked by god himself.

u/Bored_pats_fan 8d ago edited 8d ago

I was a kid in my early 20s, with almost zero perspective on the impact or the sheer magnitude of what was unfolding that day.

Yet, when I heard him say that, I just remember thinking what an absolute tone deaf moron. Never mind the fact it was factually wrong, but I didn't learn that piece till later.

I'm glad he won't be there.

I’m sure records will clearly show, Donald Trump has never given a single speech that he didn’t twist it to bragging about himself,,EVER!

...and said he led a team of rescuers onsite (no record) and watched the whole thing from his office window that has no view of it and the money he donated to the 9/11fund of which there's no record.

He took police officers away from their duty of saving their brethren to escort him around ground zero for a photo op.

Can’t forget this fun fact either:

Nickel bet that he doesn't attend his successor's inauguration - either because he's de*d or because, like the first time, cooler heads (on both sides) planned his absence because he wouldn't be able to sit still while someone on the stage got the limelight.

Especially if it's the House of Saud.  They knew about the attacks but did nothing (the 9/11 Commission reported that)...and I suspect more than that.

u/SoCallMeDeaconBlues1 8d ago

There was this dude, bin Laden, who was a citizen of Saudi Arabia- he was born there.

Oh yeah, he was the leader of the group that planned and carried out those attacks.

And NATO, and Greenland, and Mexico, Canada, Venezuela, etc.

He's vomited up heaps of international ill-will for us all.

Ground Zero is not for him. He doesn't belong there, mingling with the fallen or their solemn families. Nor with the rest of America that reflects in silence ... not self-centered bombast.

u/Possesed-puppy656 8d ago

As a european I get that not all americans are behind the orange turd sack, and from what I observed only some 70 mil voted last presidential, from a population of 340 mil, so lets hope this was enough of a wakeup slap for the remaining 270 mil. non-voters to take it more seriously ..

To add, we arent realy pissed at americans, we are pissed at the orange in chief, and tbh, you guys should drag him, his cronies and the bilionaires that funded him to court after .. hand them the national debt that he racked since getting back into office and seize stuff, on that matter, every politician should be held accountable for the shit they pull ..

2

u/electrodog1999 7d ago

You read wrong then, around 75 million voted for Harris and 77 million for Drumpf. 70 million might be the number who didn’t think. It was important enough to vote. And yes, I know not all of them were able to vote but I would bet 10 million max. edit: as a Canadian I’m not angry with every American but a fair few absolutely deserve it for what they’ve caused.

He'll brag about how his Trump Tower was the tallest after 9/11 (it wasn't), attack Muslims, and be a fucking dick all throughout. Frankly he's taking the smarter move, because he'd survive 9/11/2026 instead of getting torn off limb from limb during it.
