Osama Bin Laden Won
The architect of the September 11 attacks dreamed of the destruction of America. In the last 25 years, his wish has come true. The post Osama Bin Laden Won appeared first on The Intercept .
President Donald Trump will skip a ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the Al Qaeda attack on the World Trade Center, reportedly due to his desire to deliver a speech, as the event typically does not allow political remarks. Instead, Trump plans to visit the Pentagon, also attacked during the September 11, 2001, tragedy, where he can make his own remarks.
This move comes as Trump, a native New Yorker, has previously used 9/11 as a rhetorical device to boost his property's value. In 2001, Trump claimed his building was the tallest before the World Trade Center, later admitting it was false. Trump's supporters have taken matters into their own hands, attacking the Capitol in an attempt to subvert democracy, mirroring an earlier failed attempt by Al Qaeda on 9/11.
Despite Bin Laden's death, his ideology endures through Trump, who continues to prioritize his own interests over national security, enabling a dangerous future for the United States.
