Today marks the 17th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, and Donald Trump seems… extremely pumped?
As the world remembers the thousands of people who lost their lives in the attack on the World Trade Center, President Trump flew to Johnstown, Pennsylvania with Melania this morning to attend a memorial event. But his perplexing facial expression and his choice to pump both fists in the air on the runway were an odd choice for such a solemn occasion.
The Trumps were on their way to a 9/11 Memorial Service in Shanksville, PA, and many people feel the tone-deaf gesture and strangely excited vibe the president gave off as he greeted assembled supporters was wildly inappropriate.
Twitter users were quick to scrutinize the photo, calling Trump out for his chipper and insensitive behavior on national day of mourning.
He can’t even take 9/11 off from being a colossal schmuck…

This man never, ever, ever fails to make clear to anyone paying a second of honest attention that something is seriously wrong with him. https://t.co/gDp8tYA2qL

Can you imagine having so little sense of decorum, sensitivity, self-awareness, that your first instinct upon arriving for an incredibly solemn ceremony, is to act as if you’re at one of your rallies? https://t.co/7zOTiz6N9e

Earlier this morning, Trump tweeted a simple “!7 years since September 11th” with an exclamation point.
He also tweeted a message to Rudy Giuliani and a few thoughts on other, unrelated things, like collusion with Russia.
Rudy Giuliani did a GREAT job as Mayor of NYC during the period of September 11th. His leadership, bravery and skill must never be forgotten. Rudy is a TRUE WARRIOR!

How hard is it to write a thoughtful message to the families of those lost in the attack, thank the first responders, encourage America, or at the very very least, not pump your fists?
