Donald J. Trump Statement
Donald J. Trump ^ | September 11, 2016 | Donald J. Trump

Posted on 09/11/2016 6:35:20 PM PDT by monkapotamus

"Fifteen years ago, America suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history. Thousands of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and innocent American children were murdered by radical Islamic terrorists.

Today, we mourn for all the lives lost. We mourn for all the children who had to grow up without a mom or dad, and for all the parents who've had to struggle on without their children.

We will never forget.

In that darkest hour, the entire world bore witness to the strength and courage of our mighty nation. Firefighters, police officers and port authority workers rushed into danger, into smoke, into fire to save the lives of people they had never met --performing their sacred duties until their last moments on Earth. Heroes like Father Mychal Judge who tended to the dead and dying until he too joined them in Heaven. These were the finest and bravest and toughest people that could ever grace a city.

We remember the heroes of Flight 93, who saved countless more from a terrible fate.

We remember the heroes at the Pentagon who fought to save every last life from the smoldering rubble.

Today is a day of sadness and remembrance. It is also a day of resolve. Our solemn duty on behalf of all those who perished that September day 15 years ago, is to work together as one nation to keep all of our people safe from an enemy that seeks nothing less than to destroy our way of life.

We pray for those who have lost the ones they love so much, and we also pray for the unity we will need to conquer all the challenges to come." - Donald J. Trump

He isn’t just Presidential timber—he’s a veritable stockade.

9/11/2001

11/4/1979

Two events which have never received a proper answer.

9/1/1939

12/7/1941

Dates whose proper answers should serve us as examples.

They were soooooo hoping he’d say something MEAN about Hillary, the better to turn the whole Hillary story in a Trump Is So Mean story, which is all they understand.

All those #nevertrump idiots like Cruz and Levin (who finally said he’d vote for trump only because Hillary is so awful) should try to mimic this man.

If asked about her health he should just say “I hope she has a speedy recovery” and leave it that.

One of my friends is a trauma nurse who took care of the Pentagon victims. She said they died by drowning in jet fuel.

Spent the morning crying, I will never forget. Trump is spot on with his statement.

And Illary is in her “poor me, I have pneumonia mode”. GACK!

Correct, this is the time for him to get taller, and Illary to get smaller.

One could be forgiven for not knowing if Trump is this good, or if it has simply been so long since a man of stature has said these things in a way we could identify with and honor.

I look at those words, the camaraderie, the loss of loved ones, the many years of pain their loss cost their loved ones, and the intent to pull together as one to stand together, share our losses, and fight our enemies.

I reread the comments. Trump is going to be an outstanding president. He will honor what our Founders would have honored. He will trash what our best would have trashed. He will bring us together as one nation.

He will be cordial to other nations even if he has to do something unpopular. He will be friendly, and let them know we still appreciate them and want them as friends. In other ways we will be willing to be friendly, and we will do good things for them too.

There will come a time when those who trashed Trump, talked him down, said he was no better than Hillary, and it really didn’t matter who they voted for, will realize how small they were.

Trump will stand that tall.

I couldn’t be happier with my choice.

I am once again proud of a soon to be president. It has been 30 long years since I could say that.

PRESIDENTIAL!

God bless you, Donald J. Trump. So many of us never guessed that you were the leader we’ve been waiting for, for so so long. Thank God you’re here.

“They were soooooo hoping he’d say something MEAN about Hillary, the better to turn the whole Hillary story in a Trump Is So Mean story...”

I said earlier today, that Trump is too smart to even comment on Hillary’s 9/11 collapse. There was nothing but downside in it for him.

If he’d so much as wished her a speedy recovery, the leftstream media would have clobbered him.
