‘The fact that they were laughing…’: Angry Trump slams AOC, Mamdani for ‘laughing’ at 9/11 memorial

Trump slams AOC and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani over their apparent laughter during the 9/11 memorial ceremony, calling the moment “terrible” and “inappropriate.” The controversy erupted as victims’ names were being read at Ground Zero on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, sparking fierce Republican backlash. But former Rudy Giuliani aide Michael Ragusa defended AOC and Mamdani, saying the viral clip was taken out of context and showed a greeting, not laughter.
