Trump Honors 9/11 Victims In Memorial Video
In a video shared on social media, former President Donald Trump honored the thousands of Americans killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 — while praising the heroic first responders who saved lives in the aftermath of the tragedy.
“No one who lived through the horror of the September 11 terrorist attacks can ever forget the agony and the anguish of that terrible day,” the former president said in the video shared on Truth Social Monday morning.
Trump went on to recall “the images of dark plumes of smoke billowing over Lower Manhattan” after the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City, the attack on the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and the hijacked United Flight 93 — where brave passengers and crew members overpowered the hijackers and thwarted their attempts to attack the nation’s capital and instead crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.
The former president noted that the scenes of that day “are seared into our minds forever.”
“Today, on the solemn anniversary of those monstrous attacks, we remember the 2,977 precious souls who were savagely taken from us on that morning 22 years ago — leaving a void that can never be filled,” Trump said. “No matter what happens, it can never be filled.”
“We will say a prayer for each of the beautiful families they left behind, whose pain is beyond comprehension. What they’ve gone through is not even believable,” Trump continued, praising the selfless first responders who worked tirelessly in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks and “in many cases gave their lives in the line of duty.”
“We honor the firefighters, the great New York PD, the police department — what great people they are, they are so great — and the Port Authority officers, the Virginia, D.C., and Pentagon police and the military service members and other first responders, actually all over the country, they acted with supreme heroism and they went to the site of the most heinous crime,” he added. “They would leave other states far away and go to the World Trade Center site, the Pentagon, they’d go to Pennsylvania.”
“God bless the memory of all of those who perished in the 9/11 attacks we will never ever forget,” Trump concluded. “We will never forget you. We love you. God bless their families, and God bless America.”
As the anniversary of 9/11 was being commemorated, many social media users shared clips of Trump’s interviews in the aftermath of the attacks — as he was actually on the scene at Ground Zero in the aftermath of the attacks.
“Donald Trump spent 9/11 marching into a war zone of fire & ashes with an army of his own men to save Americans,” commentator Benny Johnson noted in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Johnson shared another clip of Trump being interviewed, where he described the progress of rescue and recovery of the victims at Ground Zero.
