And how many “cheering Muslims” he had to fight through to get there.

It was one of the only times the NJ Turnpike didn't charge tolls. They wanted people to exit the area before the roads were closed in preparation for hospital transportations and first responders. Trump would have been denied entry into the Holland Tunnel and the Path was taken out of service into NYC. My first sight was watching the first plane hit as I was driving to work on the North Bay Extension, the second plane hit, seeing what appeared to be people leaping, to the last which was when the first tower coming down. I lost some friends who were Port Authority Police, who would meet up at a local JC bar by Pavonia Station. A co-worker's brother died in it.

That was when I left the city.

I guess Trump chartered a Water Ferry to get over there. 😂😂😂

5. More proof that there is no bottom

You have to wonder what the line is with his supporters.
They buy-in to the misogyny, to the racism, and to the white supremacy apparently. They fall for the military patronizing and the economic illiteracy. But now they will accept the #IPOTUS disrespecting the 9-11 first responders along with the men and women who spent months on the pile..
If the beast spent even two minutes there, there would be literally hundreds of photographs that he would have staged.

This makes me sick. This is the lowest form of a human being that I have ever seen in my time on earth.

Oh...okay. Then that must explain why he never went to a wake or funeral for the HUNDREDS of people he said he knew who were killed in the WTC towers.

7. I saw one of the so-called comments came from someone calling themselves "Ireland"

Yeah, sure. They probably think Enoch Powell was W's Secretary of State, and that David Trimble was a character played by Jim Carrey.
