Trump unloads on AOC, Mamdani for laughing during sacred 9/11 ceremony at Ground Zero

President Donald Trump slammed Rep.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for appearing to laugh during the solemn reading of victims’ names at the 9/11 Memorial, calling their behavior "terrible" and "inappropriate." "I think it’s terrible," Trump said when asked about the video of the two Democrats.

"It’s not a place to be laughing, especially in that case." "I thought it was terrible," he continued.

"The fact that they were laughing together at a very important part of the ceremony was inappropriate." The president’s condemnation came after video of Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani sharing what appeared to be a lighthearted exchange at Ground Zero sparked widespread criticism online.
