Trump will mark 25th 9/11 anniversary at Pentagon, skip Ground Zero

cultureAug 28, 202617567

President Donald Trump confirmed he will mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks at the Pentagon, saying “Because I’m going to the Pentagon.” The White House said Vice President JD Vance will attend the New York observance and other administration officials will go to the ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The article notes the attacks by al-Qaida militants 25 years ago killed nearly 3,000 people across the three sites. Trump posted on social media calling 9/11 “a day to remember the victims, and their beautiful family members.” The AP adds that Trump commemorated last year at the Pentagon and that he last attended the Ground Zero ceremony in 2024. Vance had planned to be in New York for the anniversary in 2024 but instead flew to Salt Lake City to be with the family of Charlie Kirk after Kirk was assassinated.

A former prominent MAGA figure is now in ICE custody. Trump is skipping the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero. Republicans are quietly distancing themselves from him. And DOJ election monitors are raising alarms. Ron Filipkowski has the full rundown in tonight’s bulletin.

Of course he's not. That's too many dead "suckers and losers" for him. I'll never forget his excitement about having the tallest tower after the Twin Towers fell 🤬

Been a busy day. I could use a laugh. So I turned on the news - and I was not disappointed! That little prick Milo had a falling out with Trump. Now the SS ICE is holding him @ a concentration camp & is deporting him!😂 Icing on the cake would be if they deported him to Angola. Hey, fair is fair.

Trump is reportedly furious at the official rules for ground zero of 9/11. Rules for everyone that say there can be NO political speeches. Don't politicize terrorist attacks for your own personal gain you absolute fucking ghoul. www.tmz.com/2026/08/28/t...

Would he, do you think, repeat his boast about Trump Tower suddenly being the tallest building?

Good, no one wants him there anyway.

Impeach Trump ❤️🤍💙🌊

Why is POTUS ditching the 25th anniversary commemoration of the 9/11 attacks at Ground Zero? POTUS was considering attending until he learned he could not deliver remarks. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Trump #EpsteinFiles #POTUS

Donny LOVES to hear himself talk.......usually about useless bullshit but that doesn't stop him.

His 9/11 claim to fame was that the aftermath made him the owner of the tallest building in NYC, that's no longer the case so...

Fata Morgana1

He’d just sleep if it wasn’t about him anyway

Because the FELON is a P O S ! He would make it about himself. These people don’t need to sit and listen to his Bull Shit.

Trump to skip 9/11 anniversary in New York because he can’t give a speech. The 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York City does not allow politicians to speak at Ground Zero to maintain a nonpartisan stance.

Trump thinks 9-11 is all about him, and that he wants to give a speech at the the upcoming 25th anniversary ceremony to prove it. Fortunately, he was told no. And now he’s losing what little is left of his mind. open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

Trump is shameless! He wants to be with Dolly Parton! He attempted to present her with awards, but she declined his offer 3 times. She has never wanted to associate with a court-adjudicated rapist! After her passing, Trump violated her likeness… SICK BASTARD!

Trump plans to mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11 at Pentagon instead of Ground Zero b/c memorial planners informed his team that politicians are barred from giving speeches at the NY site to protect its nonpartisan nature. Vance is expected to attend NY ceremony on behalf of WH.

globemagazine.com/president-do... But those plans changed after trump sought to address the gathering. Per the report, the memorial has prohibited politicians from delivering remarks at the annual ceremony since 2012, a policy intended to keep the event nonpartisan and focused on victims and their….

Because the big ego baby won't be allowed to make a speech at the 9/11 memorial service in New York City. If he was told to, Kegsbreath would let him take a shit at the petagon memorial service, then gild it, & commemorate it with a named memorial sign. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump plans to forgo a visit to Ground Zero for 25th anniversary of 911 because they won’t allow him to make one of his embarrassing speeches about himself. This tells you what an absolute scumbag bottom feeder he is.
