Former President Obama tweeted a remembrance for the victims of 9/11, marking the 16th anniversary of the terror attacks.

“We remember everyone we lost on 9/11 and honor all who defend our country and our ideals. No act of terror will ever change who we are,” Obama tweeted Monday.

Members of the Trump administration attended ceremonies memorializing the attacks or released statements marking the anniversary. President Trump and first lady Melania Trump held a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House early Monday, timing it to mark the moment that the first plane hit the World Trade Center.

Trump later made remarks honoring the victims of the attacks at the Pentagon, vowing to attack extremist groups that threaten the American people.

3. Meanwhile, the fake prez puts a travel ban on "dangerous Muslim countries

that harbor terrorists" while completely ignoring the fact that most of the 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are his best friends and allowed him to stroke their glowing orb when he visited them. Parades, fanfare, flattery, gold paint, we're all bestowed upon him before he headed to Europe to insult and alienate our county's longest, closest allies.
