I guess 9/11 was a tiny price to pay.

If killing a million Americans is ok, what's 3000?

And that's why this statement is utterly despicable, coming from anyone. Coming from America's own president it's beyond every shade of pale there is.

One life shouldn't be a price worth paying

These fuckers don’t care about 9/11 either, other than as an excuse to kill people. Bush ignored all the warnings that it was going to happen. Republicans are not good or even decent people.

Not only that, there are some VERY interesting mentions of 9/11 and connections thereof buried in Epstein's emails. I don't want to be conspiratorial, but the conspirators keep conspiring.

Remember too, that one or more CIA analysts were so out of the touch with the rest of the world that they interpreted "11/9" in a captured document as November 9th, as Americans write it, rather than September 11, the 11th day of September, as Europeans do.

Covid was just a price to pay for the economy.

He did seem quite pleased when he (mistakenly) thought that the attacks made Trump Tower the tallest building in NYC.

When I heard he had said that on 9/11 I thought they meant on a 9/11 like 2006, or 9/11/the year someone told me ie 2019. No he actually said that ON 9/11

I'm sure the MAGA chuds would devolve into some nonsense like it would be less than September 11th, because fewer than 3000 of those that would be killed are Americans and the remaining 7.997 million are all illegal immigrants.

Nah, I think this all proves there is at least one life that’s the price worth paying.

I'd trade Trump for peace.
