The horror of that day
by digby
Anyone over the age of 20 or so probably remembers the horror of that day 16 years ago. Young people have grown up in its shadow.
I was writing and my husband came running in to tell me that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. It was hard to wrap my mind around it but I rushed out to see the pictures on television. When the second plane hit, I said “I’ll bet it was Osama bin Laden.” This was not because I was psychic or because I had access to any special information. But if you’d been following the news for a while you knew they’d been blowing up embassies and bombing American ships and the threat was growing. And needless to say, two planes hitting the towers was obviously terrorism.
Anyway, it was a terrible, terrible day and it changed the way we live forever.
Here’s Trump on CNN talking about it at the time:

We don’t know if this happened before or after he saw thousands of fantasy Muslims cheering on rooftops.
