Why not comment on Trump's actual speech? Could it be that the criticism stems from the very non-PC nature of the speech?
From today's speech:
"On September 11th, 2001, a band of brave patriots turned the tide on our nations enemies, and joined the immortal ranks of American heroes.
At this memorial, on this sacred earth, in the field beyond this wall, and in the skies above our heads, we remember the moment when America fought back.
(Snip)
"In the last 20 minutes, many placed their final calls home, whispering those eternal words: I love you. Some said the Lords Prayer. And then they bravely charged the cockpit. They attacked the enemy. They fought until the very end. And they stopped the forces of terror and defeated this wicked, horrible, evil plan.
Flight 93 crashed yards from where we stand, just 20 minutes flying time from the United States Capitol."
(Snip)
"This field is now a monument to American defiance. This memorial is now a message to the world: America will never, ever submit to tyranny. (Applause.)
Since September 11th, nearly 5.5 million young Americans have enlisted in the United States Armed Forces. Nearly 7,000 service members have died facing down the menace of radical Islamic terrorism."
Because he disgraced this sacred day by making it about himself and attacking people on twitter when this day should not be about him. He's a disgrace by putting his personal feelings before the men and women who lost their lives in 911. I don't care what he said later. A little too late.

Their reasoning for that seems to be -- he tweeted. Yep, it's all his fault that they are whining. Here's a novel idea for the haters ..... don't read his twitter if you feel you can't handle it.

'Trump attacking people" and 'Trump hardly mentioning 9/11' .. really?
Starting from the first tweet of the day and continuing on to the last tweet of the day ..
1. He tweeted saying that there was 'no collusion between Trump-Russia but plenty of collusion between FBI&DOJ, hillary camaign, foreign spies and Russia' - (sounds like news to me}
2. He tweeted saying that he was signing a Proclamation designating 'Patriot Day 2018'.
3. He tweeted about the new strzok-page texts - (sounds like news to me)
4. He tweeted about holder and the DOJ - (not news)
5. He tweeted giving Giuliani a pat on the back for what he did as Mayor during 9/11
6. A 9/11 tweet, saying that they were leaving DC to go to Pennsylvania
7. A tweet about 9/11
8. A tweet with video about 9/11
9. A tweet about "small business optimism"
10. A tweet about the safety of the people (hurricane)
11. Another 9/11 tweet with video
12. And another 9/11 tweet with video
13. About comey and his leaker friend
14. A tweet that is a continuation of tweet #13
15.A tweet about maxine's threats to impeach both Trump and Pence (sounds like news to me)
hmmmm. Tons of 9/11 tweets and very few, actually only one, "attack" tweets. Seems the lefties are just using his tweets as an excuse to act like idiots
On 9/11 We were attacked by members of a religion that Dems say is no different than Christianity, and they Scream Trump is evil. 95% of all Terrorist organizations identified in the world today are Islamist, not Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Budist, or even Secular Humanist, and Trump is the evil one Ill take Trump

Yet Trump loves the Saudis? It's all a shell game and even Trump himself is a pawn. He is a lost soul and a man-baby. He makes America tired.
Even though I find him repulsive, I do feel sorry for him because he doesn't know what he is doing nor why is is doing anything he does, nor can he control himself. He completely lacks self control.

He stuck to the script and did not seek to make it all about Trump.
The physical antics upon his arrival at this solemn occasion and following his brief speech were inappropriate. Melania got it right. Pence in NY got it right. Trump, not so much.

And in spite of all of his failings, which I have no problem recognizing, he has brought far less destruction to world then his peace prize winning predecessor!
I had forgotten his claim on 9/11/2001 that now his building was once again the tallest in lower Manhattan and expressed disappointment the stock exchange closed.
I had forgotten about it as well. Not only was it tasteless, it was false.
