Joe Biden is going to both the NYC and Shanksville memorials, but Trump blew off New York while withholding $4 million from ill FDNY firefighters.

The New York Daily News reported:

The Trump administration has secretly siphoned nearly $4 million away from a program that tracks and treats FDNY firefighters and medics suffering from 9/11 related illnesses, the Daily News has learned.

The Treasury Department mysteriously started withholding parts of payments — nearly four years ago — meant to cover medical services for firefighters, emergency medical technicians and paramedics treated by the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, documents obtained by The News reveal.

The payments were authorized and made by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, which oversees the program. But instead of sending the funds to the city, the Treasury started keeping some of the money.

Trump isn’t bothering to show up in New York City today but is instead choosing to show up in Pennsylvania, as he is cynically placing his presidential campaign ahead of paying his respects in the city that was the center of the worst terrorist attack ever on US domestic soil.

3. He's not gonna be missed in NY/NYC, believe me.

AFAIC, the only reson he should ever show a hair of his asshole in NYC is if he's being formally indicted for federal or state crimes. And it's coming soon.

4. New York despises Trump...

if he showed up at Ground Zero the booing would echo world wide...no..he found a trump devotee in Shanksville who was more than happy to kiss Trump's ass...Trump regaled the crowd with this guy's story, a silent hero who was given a cross made out of a steel girder by someone he saved and how that cross is a symbol that "stands for what we are as a nation"..the orange asshat never misses an opportunity to give a shout-out to his white-only slobbering sycophants...
