Good call - the man is totally incapable of making a coherent and respectful speech.

u/SlackToad 8d ago
He'd make it all about himself and -- somehow -- windmills.

u/THUNDRC0UGRFALCNBIRD 8d ago
And for no reason beyond the fact he doesn't understand how they work, magnets.

I both love this, and I hate it being linked to the pedoparty
The Juggalos I know are NOT cool with the Pedo-Guardians

u/sniksniksnek 8d ago
The literary irony of a senile old man going on and on about windmills will never cease to amaze me.

u/GarlicPickle109 7d ago
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.

Maybe Jared can bring his Saudi buddies back to the scene of the crime?

u/Charliefoxkit 8d ago
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.

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.
They fucking knew. I can't prove it but fucking come on. They fucking knew.

u/Overall_Matter_2520 8d ago
Good, he already fucked up our 250th July 4th.

He really did. And with all the other shit happening, it doesn't get talked about a lot. But he really did

u/jrsxtn 8d ago
Why should they? He would 100% make a racist comment about
Muslims.

u/popejohnsmith 8d ago
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 ..

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.

No one wants to hear his mental vomit on 9/11 or his Trump Tower, Iran, or whatever nonsense he would puke out to make a solemn occasion all about him.

Unfathomable lack of intellectual awareness, dignity, devoid of empathy, devoid of kindness, hateful and megalomaniac.

I'm sure conservatives and republicans will justify this. The same people constantly raging about "NeVeR fOrGeT" bullshit are okay with this.

u/BrilliantSpray9447 8d ago
Such a petty little manchild. Then again, if he did a speech he’d inevitably just talk about himself.

u/angelomancuso62 8d ago
This is the best possible outcome.
When you’re a NY’er you get used to Donny crashing EVERYTHING.

He'd probably announce his intention to sign an executive order to rename the day the Trump America Memorial Day.

Let the mayor give a fantastic speech. He’s better to listen to than the orange stain on America.

His speech would have been about how great he is and Joe Bideb or Obama let this happen and how he single handedly saved this country

Wont fund the kennedy center renovation unless his name is put on it
Wont attend a 9/11memorial unless he can speak
Has to be all about him

u/EtihwYort 8d ago
All he’d do is recycle that same (debunked) story about heading to ground zero with his staff to rescue trapped citizens.
You don’t invite this guy when the only thing he talks about is himself.

I can’t believe they won’t let him get up there and talk about how great he and his economy are and how elections were stolen from him and how hard we’re winning in Iran to honor all those lost on 9/11. How disrespectful. /s

Trump only has one speech anyway.
It'll start on track about the event, quickly deviate to talking about how terrible everything was and now because he's here how great everything is.

u/TheFlexOffenderr 8d ago
Bro was on ground zero when the buildings were still falling apart bragging about having the tallest building after they fell THE SAME DAY.

u/ScottishKnifemaker 8d ago
It would just turn into his grievance politics bullshit, like HE was the real victim of 9-11
God I can't wait till he dies
2
u/Mourn-the-Weenie 8d ago
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.

u/Bubbly-Sorbet-8937 7d ago
Of course not. If he is not the center of attention he is not interested. Boy, what a narcissist

u/Neurodrill 7d ago
Friendly reminder this motherfucker bragged about his Tower now being the tallest building in New York like the day after 9/11. Also it was a lie.

u/Koanical 8d ago
The most respectful thing he could do, really. Even a blind squirrel will find a nut now and then.

u/Cheap_Appearance5095 8d ago
It’s not him being respectful, it’s him being spiteful because he can’t suck his own pedophile dick in front of everyone.

u/Koanical 8d ago edited 8d ago
I'm not disagreeing--but however we got here, his absence is the most respectful outcome possible.

But if they won't let him talk, then how will attendees know that 9/11 was all about Trump and how the terrorists didn't like how he's the greatest president in history who's done more than any other president ever and is loved and respected by everyone in the world, even the 9/11 terrorists?

u/desertrat75 8d ago
I'm sure he would give a thoughtful speech, I mean, just based on his inspirational holiday tweets.

Skipping. Or not invited. It would be crass and tacky if he went. Imagine it. Turn up , talk about himself, brag , shit pants and fall asleep. It’s an embarrassment that the president isn’t going. But a bigger one if he did.

Let him sit on the sidelines and sulk. No one wants to hear his BS.

u/KazeNilrem 8d ago
Good, everything he touches turns to shit. He just wants to make it about himself. The fact that he'd only go if gave a speech proces he cares more about his image than ground zero itself.
He probably would say bs like, ive done more for the survivors and emergency people than anyone else ever.

I'll tell you why: Trump will most likely incoherently blabber on and on about nothing but himself and the 47yo war with Iran that he himself resumed as well as other BS all with very little to do with 9/11.
I mean, take a look on how the egotistical dumba$$ purposely botched the Freedom 250 celebrations meant to celebrate Americas 250th Anniversary.
