While he officially marked Sept. 11 at the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump also used the 17th anniversary of the terrorist attack to cryptically praise his lawyer.
Trump called Rudy Giuliani — his personal attorney who served as the mayor of New York City on 9/11 — a “TRUE WARRIOR” whose “leadership, bravery and skill must never be forgotten.”
Rudy Giuliani did a GREAT job as Mayor of NYC during the period of September 11th. His leadership, bravery and skill must never be forgotten. Rudy is a TRUE WARRIOR!

About an hour later, the President posted a puzzling tweet noting how many years its been since the massive terrorist attack. Trump also pumped a fist into the air as he approached a crowd of fans upon landing in Johnstown, Pennsylvania to attend a 9/11 memorial service, according to New York Times photographer Doug Mills.
17 years since September 11th!

In that last photo, Trump looks PUMPED to memorialize the fallen. Hell Yeah, 9/11!
The man is incapable of somber reflection.
Trump’s instincts are awkward, self-serving, disrespectful, tone deaf, stupid, inappropriate, and, dare I say it, deplorable.
Giuliani’s bravery? WTF is he blabbing about?
Then there’s Giuliani’s sidekick Bernie Kerik who, let’s not forget was later selected to head Homeland Security by GW Bush. How’d that work out?
He also forgot to mention that Giuliani put NYC’s emergency command center in 7 World Trade Center, along with all the diesel fuel needed to run its generators.
That did not end well.
Trump’s? You just described the entire Republican’t Party. It is like a snake that keeps shedding its various skins of comity and thinly veneered gentility, each time revealing an even more rotten inside. Trump is just the latest incarnation of this foul reptile…
