Trump was already blowing off the Ground Zero ceremony in New York because, reportedly, he refused to attend after being denied the opportunity to give a speech. Trump’s big plan was to go to the Pentagon and give a speech before he goes to his club in Ireland to watch a golf tournament.
The 80-year-old president gave a speech in Dallas on Thursday night, so it was guaranteed that he would be exhausted even with the very limited schedule of one event to appear at on 9/11.
This is how completely exhausted Trump opened his speech, “ Secretary Hegseth, Secretary Rice, First Lady of the United States, Chairman Cain, members of the United States military, distinguished guests, and my fellow Americans 25 times we have gathered at this hallowed place and at Ground Zero in New York and a lonely field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.”

The speech was a pile of gibberish, with the key exception of Trump completing his transition from anti-war in the Middle East president to full Middle Eastern war monger, but even this wasn’t as bad as the disrespect that Trump showed 9/11 victims by falling asleep at the Pentagon.
