President Trump delivered a stern warning to extremist groups threatening the U.S. on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, his first commemoration of the somber occasion as president.

Speaking at the Pentagon on Monday, where one of four hijacked planes crashed 16 years ago, Trump mourned those who died and said he would honor the sacrifice by doing “whatever we must to keep our people safe.”

“The terrorists who attacked us thought they could incite fear and weaken our spirit,” he said. “But America cannot be intimidated, and those who try will soon join the list of vanquished enemies who dared to test our mettle.”

He vowed U.S. armed forces would ensure al Qaeda and other extremist groups would never be given a “sanctuary” from where they could plot and launch a similar attack again. “We are making plain to these savage killers that there is no dark corner beyond our reach,” the president said.

1. STFU

You blight on humanity.

2. You know who I need the government to keep me safe from?

People who put poison into the air, water and products that I use.

Seems like that is something the government could do, unless you have someone at the head who thinks those types of regulations are burdensome or job killing.

6. Trump to English

Trump: We will honor their sacrifice by doing everything we can to keep our people safe.

English: As long as it doesn't interfere with me getting my tax cut.

7. Did he address the fact that the Bush administration ignored the warnings?

And, that it Bush had paid attention to the Gore Commission report on airline security, it could have likely been prevented?

I remember a few months after the attack, on a news magazine show, one of the anchors actually quoted from the Gore Commission report to a government official and completely failed to acknowledge that it had been written by Al Gore.

11. Yeah, right, Trump is "making a plan".

Just like his so called plan to ban Muslims, or his plan to build a Wall of Hate to ban Mexicans, or his cruel plan to take away healthcare from Americans, Trumps is full of plans.
