OMG: Trump did WHAT during 9/11 memorial? | Another Day
Donald Trump pays tribute to the brave. men and women who lost their lives on. 9/11 by taking a quick snooze. This is. just another day. [music]. With today marking the 25th anniversary. of the 9/11 attacks, every single living. president was at ground zero this. morning to honor those who gave their. lives. In honor of the 25th anniversary, all four living former presidents will. be at ground zero along with Vice. President J. D. Vance. President Trump. will attend the service at the Pentagon.
>> Whoops. Huh. Sorry about that. Must have. been some kind of scheduling mixup. Either that or Natalie didn't want to. have to share her time with King. Cankles. But to each his own, Trump. still deserves credit for paying tribute. at the Pentagon. Let's see how he. memorialized America's heroes there. Martha M.
Look, I have seen old men sleeping. Not. the TV series Netflix decided to go with. Tires instead of My Pitch. But the point. is, I am a bit of an expert on napping. oxygenarians. And this one is not. sleeping. No, he is merely solemnly. listening. But don't take my word for. it. Just ask the White House who said. the president was solemnly listening. See, it's what he does. Like here, where.
he's earnestly concentrating, or here, where he can be seen courageously. focusing. Or here, where the man is. bravely reflecting. See, maybe if sleepy. Joe Biden had a little more patriotic. awakeness for the men and women of. America, our nation wouldn't be in such. peril. But eventually, this president. rose from his not slumber, took to the. podium, and memorialized those brave. Americans with a speech that could only. have been delivered on today of all. days.
>> We will never ever. forget. That's why we fight today. We don't have a choice. There can only. be victory. We fight hard. We fight to. win. What the is going on? Is this a. 9/11 memorial or Trump's audition tape. for a Friday Night Lights reboot? Clear. eyes, full hearts, got a snooze. But. maybe he was just getting in gear. Let's.
hear more. >> We will always remember the victims and. the families of September 11th, 2010. Very famous. date. >> Yes, Donald Trump is just like every. other American. When we think about. September 11th, there's only one word. that comes to mind. Not sadness, fear, heroism, bravery, but fame. Which is of. course why New York erected the. worldrenowned famous tower to honor. those amazing ratings on that fateful. fall day. But while Trump's speech was.
merely another heaping serving of word. salad, at least we can take some comfort. in the fact that he didn't get. political. >> We salute our first responders and law. enforcement, and we love them. And we. salute the service members working right. now to ensure the world's number one. sponsor of terror, the Islamic. Republic of Iran, will never ever have. a nuclear weapon. Wow. I'm surprised he.
didn't offer everyone in the crowd a. $5,000 check. Yes. In an effort to make. today all about him, the current. president of the United States willfully. isolated himself from all previous. presidents attending the memorial at. ground zero, politicized his speech and. fell asleep as the names of people who. gave their lives for this country were. read aloud. I truly can't see how this. gets more embarrassing. And in the years. that followed, she raised those children. to know, love, and follow the example of.
their dad. who just was not there with them any. longer. Today, their son Kevin is a Navy. veteran and a brave one at that. He's. had his moments. They were very, very big. Perhaps not like his father, but. >> ah, what better way to honor the son of. a first responder who gave his life that. day than to tell him he'll never quite. match up to his dad. I have to say a. comment like that is so surprising. considering Trump's own sons are such.
welladjusted people. But look, I think. that we can all agree that as bad as. Trump's speech was today, it could have. been much worse. Families of 9/11. victims are calling for New York City. Mayor Zoran Mandami to be banned from. the 25th anniversary ceremony in. September. >> The growing fight over New [music] York. City Mayor Maani's plans to attend. Friday's 911 commemorations. >> I just wanted to play a little more what. the 9/11 family said at that news. conference about not wanting M Donnie to. attend on Friday. >> Some 911 families are asking New York.
City Mayor Zoron Mdani to stay away. See, Trump's brief power nap, diarrhea. of the mouth, and trauma furthering. speech can't even begin to compare to. what it would have been like to have a. man who was a 9-year-old in Uganda at. the time the towers fell attend a. memorial. That would be truly. disrespectful. The reality is that. Donald Trump making the attacks on 9/11. all about himself is nothing new. In. fact, it is one of the habits he's most. famous for, a habit he chose to. re-engage with just this week. The.
president suggesting that he was pulled. from a building near ground zero that. firefighters were worried might. collapse. >> We thought it was coming down on top of. us and two firemen, big strong guys, and. I'm not the smallest guy in the world. They grabbed me under the arm, said, "Got to get out of here." And they. literally lifted me up. >> Trump later clarifying that he was not. at ground zero on September 11th, writing in a social media post, "I was. there obviously not on the same day as. the collapse, but shortly thereafter.".
Well, yeah. Obviously not on the same. day. I mean, we'd only have thought that. if we'd listened to the exact words you. said. No, Donald Trump was not at ground. zero on 911 because in reality, he was. on the phone. And lucky for us, we can. hear exactly how he expressed himself. about the tragedy on that day. >> You have one of the landmark buildings. down in the financial district, 40 Wall. Street. Uh, did you have any damage or. did you know what's happened down there? >> Well, it was an amazing phone call I.
made. 40 Wall Street actually was the. second tallest building in downtown. Manhattan. And and it was actually. before the World Trade Center was the. tallest. And then when they built the. World Trade Center, it became known as. the second tallest. And now it's the. tallest. That's right. While I remember. being a scared, shitless 12-year-old in. New Jersey the day the towers fell. And. every other American remembers exactly. where they were on that faithful day, Donald Trump simply remembers it as the. day his second tallest building in New. York suddenly became once again the. first tallest. But to be clear, Trump.
did take time days later to make his way. downtown and give his thoughts on what. would come next for the great city of. New York and its residents. >> And what about rebuilding? >> Well, I guess that'll be the next step. Hopefully, the city is going to be. rebuilding, but that'll be the next. step. >> Is that possible as a developer? >> Oh, yeah. Everything's possible. We can. do anything nowadays with the right. money and the right talent. >> Now, that is where I actually agree with. this man. With the right money and the. right mindset, anything is possible, especially when it comes to. philanthropy. In fact, in the weeks.
after the 911 attacks, Donald Trump, the. wealthy business magnate who was born. and bred in New York, went on Howard. Stern's radio show and publicly pledged. $10,000 to the Twin Towers Fund, a. charity set up specifically to help. victims, families, and first responders. By the way, that's $10,000 in $2,01, which today would equal about $19,000, or about the cost of one private jet. ride with your best bud. But then, according to New York City's own.
controller, Scott Stringer, that money. never came. Stringer's office reviewed. over 1,500 donor records covering more. than 110,000 individual donors in the. year following the attack. And guess. whose name wasn't on a single one of. them? Donald Trump never gave that. $10,000 ever. This president has somehow. found millions for his ballroom, his. reflecting pool, his helport, and his. golden oval office. But this billionaire. couldn't find the time to pony up the. cash he promised to the victim's.
families and first responders. And that. we will never ever. forget. >> We sure won't. >> Before you go, one quick request. It's. become clear to me that this White House. is dead set on preventing me from. reaching any audience. Trump's decision. to put me as the first name on his. enemies list is a testament to that.
