Donald Trump fist pumped on his way to a 9/11 memorial service and it's not going over well
Today marks the 17th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, and Donald Trump seems... extremely pumped?
As the world remembers the thousands of people who lost their lives in the attack on the World Trade Center, President Trump flew to Johnstown, Pennsylvania with Melania this morning to attend a memorial event. But his perplexing facial expression and his choice to pump both fists in the air on the runway were an odd choice for such a solemn occasion.

How hard is it to write a thoughtful message to the families of those lost in the attack, thank the first responders, encourage America, or at the very very least, not pump your fists?
