Why is Trump not visiting the White House for a memorial?
The White House is reportedly considering opening a Memorial Day celebration to honor those who died in the 9/11 attacks.
The White Houses official Twitter account, @WhiteHouse, said the event is still in the works.
The event is being held to honor the 9th anniversary of the attacks, which took place on September 11, 2001, when President Trump and first lady Melania Trump were in the White Houses office to discuss the need to bring attention to the ongoing 9/10 anniversary.
The president tweeted Friday, “On September 11th, 2001 I visited the White house, in the basement of the US Capitol Building.
I wanted to remember those who were killed that day and their families.”
On Monday, Trump tweeted that he had visited the Capitol Building on September 10 and 11, “I am proud to say I have visited many buildings in the Capital Region over the years and never once have I had to close the doors of the White houses historic Capitol.
But now, at last, we can come together to pay our respects to those who have been killed in the line of duty.”
