Donald Trump...and Melania observe 9/11 at the White House and Pentagon[tr] (photos)

Donald Trump recalled Wednesday during a speech at the Pentagon that he personally saw the second plane hit the World Trade Center during the 9/11 terror attacks that claimed more than 2,600 lives in New York City on September 11, 2001.

He said he had been watching a financial news channel in his penthouse apartment at Trump Tower when news of the first crash broke, and then watched from a window as the second plane epxloded in a fireball as terrorists flew it into the South Tower.

'I was sitting at home watching a major business television show early that morning. Jack Welch, the legendary head of General Electric, was about to be interviewed when all of a sudden they cut away,' he said.

'Nobody really knew what happened. There was great confusion,' Trump added. 'I was looking out of a window from a building in midtown Manhattan, directly at the World Trade Center, when I saw a second plane at a tremendous speed go into the second tower. It was then that I realized the world was going to change.'

Both President Trump and our Lovely First Lady, Melania, look like they want to cry.

I remember the Budweiser Clydesdales commemorating 9/11.

One of the sad things of living in my new home away from New York City is that no one today mentioned the horror of that day. It is as if it never happened. I get it; I didn’t pay much attention to the Oklahoma City bombing. Too far away. It wasn’t until 9/11 that I realized my indifference to that terrible event.

Never forget the good people who died in either horrible event.

Sadly, some have forgotten, with, of course, encouragement from the leftists. It is racist to remember.
