Remarkable…..
It will be the 25th Anniversary of the attack on the Twin Tower ‘s in New York City on 9-11 , and the current sitting American President won’t be there….
(Donald Trump , from Queens, bowed out because he wasn’t allowed to make a speech…)
Three OTHER American President’s WILL BE….
Donald will be out of the country golfing….
Joseph R. Biden Jr. will attend the New York ceremony on Sept. 11 commemorating the 25th anniversary of the most lethal terrorist attacks in U.S. history, filling out the group of former presidents to attend the event.
Mr. Biden and Jill Biden, the former first lady, will be at the event at the World Trade Center site, the former president’s spokesman, T.J. Ducklo, confirmed on Tuesday. A spokeswoman for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum declined to comment.
That sets Mr. Biden apart from his successor. White House officials had initially been preparing for President Trump to be in New York City, his hometown, that day to honor the roughly 3,000 people who were killed when two hijacked commercial planes slammed into the twin towers.
But Mr. Trump decided to skip the ceremony in Lower Manhattan, in part because speeches are not permitted at the event, according to multiple people with knowledge of the discussions. The anniversary of the attacks falls in between a Republican midterm convention that the president and his aides are throwing in Texas, and a golf tournament at the president’s club in Doonbeg, Ireland….

Mr. Biden and Dr. Biden will join the three other living former presidents at the New York event. Former President George W. Bush and Laura Bush, the former first lady, are expected to attend; Mr. Bush was about eight months into his first term when the terrorist attacks took place.
Former President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are also expected to attend the ceremony, during which family members of those killed in the attacks will recite the names of the dead, over the course of hours. Mrs. Clinton was a senator from New York when the attacks took place….
Note…
This COULD be a media public relations nightmare for Donald Trump….
