The solemn morning marking the 17th anniversary of one of America’s darkest days was greeted with a series of angry tweets and double fist pump from President Trump.

Critics condemned Trump Tuesday for a “lack of respect” and an “inability to feel empathy for another person’s loss” as he was photographed acknowledging supporters with a triumphant double fist pump as he arrived to a 9/11 memorial service in Pennsylvania.

The President, joined by First Lady Melania Trump, took part in a somber remembrance in Shanksville, Pa., honoring the the victims who were on board Flight 93 that fateful day.

A group of supporters met Trump as he arrived in Pennsylvania, prompting the President to smile before raising both fists and clenching his jaw in a celebratory gesture.

1. he is such an

ass. Such disrespect oozes out of him and he is just disgusting, he is despicable.

[thesquanderer]

8. It's not disrespect, it's his narcissism. Everything is about HIM. (n/t)

[Roy Rolling]

16. Sociopath or Dementia

He is just in his own little world inside his head. He's like a spinnng top. He may brush up against something briefly and cause a ruckus, but he just keeps on spinning with no interaction but himself. Some sort of inwardness, I'm not a doctor.

2. "inability to feel empathy for another person's loss""

You don't say...

[Moostache]

3. He does the written equivalent of this constantly in his Twitter habit...

Constant misuse of exclamation points. Did it today too...

Donald Trump is an ass, a fool, a narcissist of the highest order and a total fraud.
Everyone knows it and so does he in the recesses of his grotesque mind.

We're all laughing AT you Donny 2 Scoops, not WITH you.

4. this

[PatSeg]

5. It was like he thought

he was going to one of his obscene rallies. As always, totally tone deaf.

[left-of-center2012]

6. this

[winstars]

13. This from the asshole who claimed: "They were dancing in the streets of Jersey City"...

[iluvtennis]

18. And from the dumbass that claimed his buildings were now the tallest when

the Twin Towers fell.

7. Terrorist Fist Pump!

[ProfessorGAC]

9. That's What Bin Laden Did On 9/11/01

Just like that. Fist pump! Yeah! For the win!

Just like Bin Laden.

[Solly Mack]

10. In Trump's mind, he has solved all the world's problems and he was the one who raised

the flag at Iwo Jima - just him - and he was the one - just him - who liberated all the death camps - and he was the one - him and only him - who walked on the moon - and he was the one - him and no one else - who got bin Laden.

He's celebrating himself in that photo.

Yes, it's me! I'm here! Mister "I Alone" has come to bring joy into your life. Everyone cheer my existence!

[NewJeffCT]

11. He gave a thumbs up later as well

just as bad, as he was walking in front of the memorial

[Blue Owl]

12. Was Malaria wearing her "I Don't Care" poncho?

n/t

[COLGATE4]

17. No, but she was wearing her (habitual) "I don't give a fuck" face.

[Paladin]

14. Clueless, heartless, tone-deaf piece of shit.

God, I can't wait until he's gone.

[JDC]

15. He is literally high. All the time.

Xanax is my guess.

[lark]

22. Nah, uppers, that's why he doesn't sleep so often.

It's also the reason for the buggy crazy tweets and for his sniffles, his brain is being fried and the coke is making his nose run.

[3catwoman3]

19. That facial expression is a smile?

It looks like a mix of a grimace, a sneer, and a scowl.

[NCjack]

20. He is fantasizing: "If I were on Fit 93, I would have tossed the terrorists

out of an open door, like this." He is such a hero.

[left-of-center2012]

21. look how small his hands are

[lark]

23. You are so right. I didn't notice it at first, too busy trying to unsee him being so disrespectful

on this most solemn occasion. This really does show off his teeny tiny little hands, wow, I bet Melania's are bigger than his,
