The pledge comes one week after he visited New York City for the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that, as president, he would make Ground Zero in New York a national monument.

"I am announcing tonight that as President, I will officially make the Ground Zero site at the World Trade Center a national monument protected and maintained by the United States government, so that hallowed ground and the memory of those who perish there will be preserved for all time, preserved forever," he said at a rally in Uniondale, N.Y.

The pledge comes one week after he visited New York City for the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. That event saw him shake hands with Vice President Kamala Harris.

He subsequently visited firefighters at New York City's Engine 4/Tower Ladder 15.

Probably a lot of the memorial should be in the building 7 site, they probably will need to dig it up extensively maybe down 30 stories or so. Oh well.

I’m still thinking of those people standing staring out from that gaping hole at about the 92 floor and some jumping, some being pushed by those behind them as they try to get the last breathes of fresh air with the torrent of fire behind them.

Poor Edna Cintron standing in the hole the plane left and waving hoping against odds for rescue, only to be crushed to death as the building collapsed.

I will always feel so bad for them, their families, loved ones robbed of them. What a horrible way to die. For really just nothing.

If so, I hope the monument tells it exactly as it is. No whitewashing. No “Some people did something.”

On 9/11 we were attacked by Muslims. Every last attacker was a Muslim. Just as on December 7th every last Pearl Harbor attacker was a Japanese airman.

I will back this all the way. After all the sh*tholes Bidenskyyyyyyyy made “National Monuments” we sure could use one that actually means something to Americans. Ground Zero would be perfect. There are still at least 50% of the people living here in America who have not forgotten. The other half are morons who couldn’t care less about America. They’re in it for themselves.

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America has already created a National Shrine through its beautifully crafted reconstructed St. Nicholas Church.

The Shrine deserves the protection of being part of a National Monument.

.....There are still at least 50% of the people living here in America who have not forgotten. The other half.....are people who were very young in 2001, or who were born after that year!

Yes, Ground Zero NYC—and Shanksville PA—should be national monuments!

Harris is banging her head against the wall thinking “Why didn’t I think of that?”
Tomorrow she will propose it as if it was her idea.

I agree 100%. Brave Americans were murdered on those spots.

Nice gesture. Certainly not a priority.

That is a modernist reinterpretation of a traditional Orthodox church. I prefer the traditional structures, but this one is not too bad.
