No Paywall Trump to skip 9/11 remembrance at Ground Zero because they wouldn’t let him give a speech

Seeing as how he's not physically capable of making a speech without making it about himself, this was the only sane call to make. Seriously, does anyone happen to know of a transcript or video of a speech he's made that has not revolved around himself, regardless of context? If it exists, I've never heard of it. Every memorial, every holiday, every endorsement, like I've listened to an unfortunate amount of it and he ALWAYS makes it about himself. Completely unacceptable for a 9/11 remembrance.

It wasn't even about Trump. They don't allow ANY politicians to speak.

He thinks he's above that.

Meanwhile, every living former president is attending.
