Trump's 9/11 boxing gig gives MAGA fans exactly what they want Unlike Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Trump won’t be at a memorial or a plane crash site or meeting with surviving family members. By Dave Zirin, MSNBC Opinion Columnist There is much hand-wringing and even outright mockery over former President Donald Trump’s Saturday plans for the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Unlike former President George W. Bush and former President Barack Obama or President Joe Biden, Trump won’t be at a memorial or a plane crash site or meeting with surviving family members. Trump isn’t going for the solemn. Instead, alongside his son Don Jr., Trump will be providing commentary for a boxing match. These two heretofore unrecognized geniuses of the sweet science will be doing MAGA-friendly play-by-play from the Hard Rock Café in Hollywood, Florida — presumably before a raucous, maskless crowd. As for the fight itself, it is a repellent affair even by boxing standards. The highlight will be 58-year-old former champion and 1984(!) Olympian Evander Holyfield. This isn’t a boxing card. It’s a crime scene. Yet as Trump Sr. said to hype the contest, “I love great fighters and great fights. I look forward to seeing both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts ringside. You won't want to miss this special event." The reaction has been beyond critical, calling Trump’s choice to take part in such frivolity undignified on such a grim day of remembrance. But this rush to the fainting couch misses the point. And I’m not talking about the fact that it is (still) a waste of breath to chide Trump’s boorishness. This is someone who tried to overturn an election. Do you really think he can be shamed for thumbing his nose at 9/11?

And you give Biden a pass for killing 13 of his own American soldiers. Biden had a drone trained on the bomber and he didn't pull the trigger. I'll bet you didn't know that did you Ron?

Trump is far more respectful of 9/11 than Biden. That is a FACT. You people are hypocrites, yet again. Rotting sepulchers full of corruption.

Steve, you are A joke. This is what TRUMP is doing when Biden is bringing the country together as one on 911.
Donald Trump will live commentary at a boxing event from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida on 9/11.
FITE, the digital video streaming service announced Trump’s involvement in the event, which will also include his son, Donald Trump Jr., as the pair “offer their perspective” throughout the night, including during the fight between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort.
Trump is the former President of The United States of America and NOT some sports commentator. If what you say is true Trump, would be at the site of 911 on this very important day in U.S. History.
So, please, don't give me that BULL💩 about TRUMP being more respectful of 9/11 than Biden's defence because TRUMP doesn't come close.
PLEASE...

There is no way in hell I'm going to watch Biden tomorrow. My nephew just turned 40, an Iraq vet, I asked him Labor Day what he thought about Biden's surrender. He, all his combat buddies, I, Donald Trump Sr. AND Jr. AND everyone at FOX agree. Biden is a POS. And if you ask me, he's poisoned 9/11 forever.

You trivialize 9/11 and say domestic terrorism is a bigger threat. I hope you are watching the re-broadcast of NBC's first night of coverage on the day of the attack, to bring you back to reality.

Steve, 911 was 20 years ago, that threat has been met. 20 years later this country has revealed a new enemy and that enemy are us. Case in point, The attack on The U.S. Capital Building on Nov 6 in a failed insurrectionary attempt.
All that happened based on a LIE, told by TRUMP. Now we look on the bright side, The voice of the people will prevail.

Ron, George W. Bush is still a threat. Possibly even more so, after what we witnessed on this 20th memorial of that awful day, which he desecrated totally, and completely.

Because 1) he is lying about domestic terrorism. There is absolutely no comparison between the January 6 rioters, and a suicide bomber that kills 13 American soldiers and 150 civilians and 2) the 20th memorial of the attack on the twin towers by foreign enemies, that killed 2700 people, is not the proper place to attack 75 million MAGA, American citizens of European descent, "white nationalism" notwithstanding, and 3) PRETENDING THAT HIS **** DON'T STINK!!!

What do you call the act that Americans Committed at the U.S. Capitol building on Nov 6th?

I call it a riot Ron, or an insurrection, which both mean pretty much the same thing. The term "domestic terrorism" means domestic acts intended to terrorize. January 6 was no such event, and to label MAGA folks as domestic terrorists, is a lie and a slander.

Walking through the hall of congress breaking windows, breaking in doors, spreading 💩 on those great walls of the Captial, singing Shoot "Nancy Pelosi" and Hang MIKE, that means that they wanted to kill both of them because of the THE LIE during a session of congress.
These are not foreign people, they were you good old white boys and that is a FACT, Steve.

It wasn't terrorism, it was a riot. Haven't you ever seen a riot Ron? It's nothing like a suicide bomb, or four suicide planes. Because folks shat on the floor doesn't make it terrorism. Where else would they **** in the middle of an hours-long riot? When you gotta go...

Don't you understand that The U.S. Captial was in session conduction the business of The United States of America?
And place that real Americans should hold in respect at all coast that U.S. Building, which is a place where the free world conduct business in behalf of The United States of America.
Doesn't that mean anything to you?

There was no planned takeover Ron. It was a riot or an insurrection, same thing. Not a takeover and not planned. The people of America were cheated and they were justifiably angry.

Because they were Angry, and that’s because those Trump supporters thought Trump had told them the TRUTH about the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen from Trump, that’s what fire those Trump supporters to fight like hell to take back the country.
This Failed attempted coup was planned from the moment Trump was Confirmed the loser of the 2020 U.S, Presidential Election. Steve, that is why The Minute Men, The Oathkeeper’s, The Proud, Boys, The KKK and other white supremacy groups that are supporters of Donald J Trump formed on The U.S. and took siege of a Federal building, namely the US Capitol building.

Rioters don’t come to the scene with chemical sprays, gas mask, goggles and gloves, Fighting capital police to break in the US Capitol building to take Siege of it, In a failed attempted coup all in the hopes to reinstate Donald Trump the loser, as president of the United States of America.
Those people might have been considered riders if they would’ve stayed outside of the federal building. Once they broke in, Taking siege of congressman’s offices then at that point made them insurrectionist with a mission to falsely “Take Back The Country” You remember the Chant, Steve.

The riot was a great success Ron, it showed just how badly our democracy failed us. Look how you're so obsessed with a little First Amendment rally this Saturday, that won't hurt a fly. You look extremely stupid with all your closing the barn door after the horse got out. January 6 was a stupendous failure, just like Afghanistan though Afghanistan was much worse.

No, Taking over the US capital a federal building did not change the vote, Donald J. Trump was the loser on January 6th and he is still the loser at this very second, so STOP 🛑 CRYING 😭 Steve and man up as a citizen of the United States of America.

Ron, you must not have put your life on the line for THIS rally. That's what your attitude suggests. I always wondered if you were telling the truth and now I know, you are no defender of the First Amendment. Very disappointing.
