Tuesday marks the 17th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks , during which approximately 3,000 people were killed after airplanes flew into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. And to the surprise of absolutely no one, President Donald Trump sure seems to be having a tough time appropriately honoring the occasion.

When his time comes, his headstone should be his gold toilet, piped straight into his mouth.
Well Tissy - ya got another hate thread up. Is that all you can accomplish - hate?
