Yesterday marked seventeen years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Here’s how some leaders in America honored the sad anniversary:
We will always remember everyone we lost on 9/11, thank the first responders who keep us safe, and honor all who defend our country and the ideals that bind us together. There's nothing our resilience and resolve can’t overcome, and no act of terror can ever change who we are.
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) September 11, 2018
May we always remember those we lost 17 years ago. May the love, bravery, and selflessness so many showed that day light our path forward.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 11, 2018
In the wake of darker moments in our history, our spirit has become mightier. The bonds that unite us have become thicker.
Seventeen years after the 9/11 attacks, may we continue to live that legacy in our words and our deeds, every day. In America, we can overcome anything.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) September 11, 2018
Meanwhile, over at the White House, Melania Trump commemorated it by sharing a picture of herself and Donald along with the hashtag #NeverForget.

Because when we think about 9/11, we don’t think about the nearly 3,000 people who were killed, or the more than 6,000 others who were injured, or the first responders who risked everything to save them, or their families, or any of that.
We think about the Trumps!
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Seriously, who is in charge of FLOTUS’s Twitter account???
And now, the responses…
To commemorate 9/11 you post an image of……yourselves. Ok.

It’s not about you Melanie.

9/11 is to honor the fallen Citizens and first Responders, not the Trumps.

First responders who still struggle with health issues and still fight for medical coverage.

Who in the world posts a picture of themselves to remember such a tragic day in history? Why not highlight some of the brave souls and family members directly affected that day?
— Papaya (@payal_bhavsar23) September 11, 2018
We just want to forget all about you
— John Walker (@John_m_walker_) September 11, 2018
Why you essentially post a selfie to commemorate this solemn day? There are plenty of images available through Google that would be less narcissistic and self serving.

Quick tip: When posting about a tragedy, a photo of yourself is never a good choice. When in doubt, just an american flag will do.

Every perceived faux pax by the Trumps never escapes the notice of the same people who never saw one thing the Clintons or Obamas did that might have shown just a touch of poor judgement.

When would have that been with Obama? When he wore tan that time? Or the time he saluted with a coffee cup in hand.
Poor judgment? That infers that the person knows a good judgment. Trump and Melania could have been smarter and visited the Pentagon for a photo op.
The perceived flaws are so out from the ordinary not just as a head of state but as a human being.
unreligious
Nor are his faux pax ever not defend by people like you who fail to see any of his wrong doing. Usually with a what about Clinton or Obama as if anything they did, some how excuses everything Trump does.

For your edification.
And do you guys remember when Obama wore a summer suit?

Remember those days? When the issue was fabric and not unwillingness to condemn nazis?

The media have gone insane over Trump. And, it’s hurting them. And, it’s hurting Democrats overall. Who wants to be part of the insane opposition? Acting crazy over Trump’s election was a bad idea. But I guess people couldn’t stop themselves. Reel it in girls if it’s not too late.

The opinion polls seem to be disagreeing with you.
But let’s see what happens in November 🙂

You mean the polls that predicted that Hillary was going to win in a landslide? Yeah, those polls.

Am I missing something? I see a photo of the POTUS and FLOTUS commemorating 9/11. They shouldn’t have posted a photo of themselves doing so? I’d say Queerty is scraping the bottom of the barrel to find anything to attack the Trumps, including that photo headlining this article on the main page. Actually Trump gave a rather stirring speech praising first responders and commiserating with all the families who lost a member on 9/11. Did Queerty miss that?

The world will celebrate when Orangeturd and his crime syndicate administration inevitably topples.
