Good on Trump to skip the Commie Mayor's event... I approve ! ! !

occupied New York

Three places could have been picked. The third was that field in Pennsylvania where flight 93 crashed . In NYC Trump was on that site day after day helping . He also paid for more help to work with him. Madmani was probably in Africa celebrating.

What a headline

[SmokingJoe]

9/11 wasn’t just New York.
The Pentagon was attacked in DC too.
Better for Trump to attend the commemoration in DC.

[SmokingJoe]

It’s the French.

Better headline: “On 25th Anniversary of 9/11, Trump arrests Enemy Combatant Mamdani”

I bet he will be there. He was in Dallas at the Midterm Convention until 9 P.M. Texas time, which would havbe been 11 P.M. east coast time, which of course is the time he normal operates in. So, perhaps he stayed in bed a little bit longer this morning? Just sating. It’s only 6:30 A.M. right now on the east coast. 😁🤙

[FamiliarFace]

Central time and eastern time are only one hour difference, not two.

[Robert DeLong]

You are correct. I was watching it, and I had to pause my T.V. as somethig came up. when I got back to watching the remainder, it was 10 P.M. here in Louisiana when it finished for me. 😁🤙 That is what threw me off, and thinking that Dallas might be where the time difference might be located. I really do not pay attention to where the dividing line actually exists.

However, still it still takes time to travel from Dallas to D.C., so by the time he got back to the White House, it was probably close to 11 P.M. when he climbed into bed. 😁🤙

[Robert DeLong]

BTW, I have a picture of the Pentagon damage in my computer room. My father-in-Law had come up from Louisiana just after the 9/11 attack. So, he wanted to go to D.C. to see the Pentagon as a vetran of both WWII & Korea.

Since he had my camera with him, he took a picture which the Va. State Police woman tried to prevent him from taking. Somehow he managed to take a perfect picture of the damage. Since we were on the road above the Pentagon, it is evident for anyone familiar with the Pentagon, call tell it is a picture of the Pentagon.

I didn't really nortice that he will be at the Pentagon instead, because . So, I guess I was also wrong about saying he will be in NYC too. It's early, and the dog woke ne up at 3 A.M. this morning to goout to releive hiself, so I am still operating at diminsihed capabilities this morning. 🤣👍

[A_perfect_lady]

I know, right? If he’d attended the NYC event, they’d have said, “Pentagon Ceremony Abandoned by Trump”.

[Sacajaweau]

Not sure we will really know where Trump will be until it happens. I think the SS wants him to be floating. Muzzies like anniversaries.

They did say that after "wherever" he will be, he is flying to Ireland for the Irish Open.

Safe Journey Mr. President.

[FamiliarFace]

All good. Your story about the photo of the Pentagon is interesting. My cousin worked there at that time. I didn’t speak with him directly, but through the family pipeline, I heard it was a difficult time for him. At least he was safe.

[Eli Kopter]

I agree. The Cretins chose that headline for maximum effect.

[Robert DeLong]

I worked at MCI. MCI was located sirectly across from the Pentagon with I-95 inbetween both buildings. However, there was an underpass that allowed getting to the other side of I-95 with no issue whatsoever.

Since I lived in King George County, roughly 50 miles south, I was able to work from home. My wife came home and said turn on th TV.

I was horrorified when I saw what was happening. I believe that MCI closed down that day for everyone but essential people. I continued to work, even though I did not get paid as a consultant there. But since I was aware that I wasn't getting paid. I'll admit that mcuh of the time was watching new developments as they were taking place in realtime.
