Trump criticized for behavior on 9/11- "bizarre fist-pumps, and Tweet about FBI and Hillary

Trump strikes somber pose at unveiling of Shanksville monument after being criticized for bizarre fist-pumps and cursory one-line tweet on the day when Americans should have stood as one to mark the 17th anniversary of 9/11






President Donald Trump commemorated the victims of Flight 93 on Tuesday in Pennsylvania, praising the heroes who stopped a hijacked plane from reaching Washington, D.C. seventeen years ago - but only after starting the day of national unity by tweeting about the FBI, its scandal-tainted lovers and Hillary Clinton then arriving for the event with a double fist pump.

A quartet of plots in 2001 shook America's collective sense of national security and signaled the global beginning of a new normal.

They 'took their own fate, and America's fate, into their own hands' by storming the cockpit and forcing a group of jihadis to crash into a field instead of turning the U.S. Capitol building into a domed inferno, Trump said.

'America will never forget what your loved ones did for all of us,' he told a crowd of hundreds.


'They stopped the forces of terror and defeated this wicked, horrible, evil plan,' Trump said, referring to 'radical Islamic terrorism' several times as 'the enemy.'
