Donald Trump was conspicuously missing from the memorial services attended by former presidents marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on American soil and Twitter users took note, sending wheres trump trending Saturday.
President Joe Biden and former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton attended the main ceremony in Lower Manhattan where the World Trade Centers Twin Towers once stood, while former president George W. Bush spoke at a memorial close to Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where Biden later laid a wreath before visiting the Pentagon, where 44 people died. Lee Cochran, a spokeswoman for the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, confirmed that Trumps people were given the same details about the ceremony but chose not to attend.
He had the option to attend but decided to honor the day with different stops, Trumps spokeswoman, Liz Harrington, said.
Rather than attend the somber name-reading ceremony of those who perished, Trump posted a video and issued an aggressive statement. For the great people of our country this is a very sad day, Trump said at the start of the video shared online. September 11 represents great sorrow for our country.

Until then.. hes dead to me. He never wanted to be president..he wanted the glory and the bottomless trough he thought he was entitled to. Ive never hated anyone in my life..I mean real hate. I hate him for that, too.
