Donald Trump decided to commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11th at the Pentagon instead of doing so in New York, which was interpreted as a decision to "do his own show." This choice represents an alternative to the traditional events held in New York City, where the main ceremonies commemorating the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks took place.
Commentator Catarina Carvalho, from CNN Portugal, analyzed Trump's decision, noting that the former President of the United States chose to have his own stage to mark this significant date. The article suggests this choice was not casual and that Trump sought to stand out through this alternative to the established events.
The September 11th attacks of 2001 were one of the most tragic moments in recent history, resulting in the deaths of nearly three thousand people. Every year, New York organizes commemorative ceremonies at the site of the Twin Towers, including the reading of the victims' names and moments of silence.
