Fresh from causing uproar by grinning inanely at the grave of a fallen soldier, Donald Trump managed to royally annoy the whole of New York this week.
Nothing says solemn remembrance quite like a wink and a grin at the 9/11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero, but that’s precisely what Old Donnie did.
Just minutes before the first moment of silence began, Trump appeared to be in high spirits.
He flashed smiles and mouthed “thank you” to the crowd like he was at a campaign rally instead of one of America’s most sombre commemorations.
New Yorkers picked up on his disrespect, with one shouting, “F*** you!” at the former president. Another yelled, “Where were you for 20 years? I’ve been here… where were you?”
So, while most people were there to remember the 2,977 people who tragically lost their lives in the 2001 terror attacks, Trump was there to… soak up the adoration.
