It's a godsend to Trump and MAGA. For Trump it has pushed his loser of a deal with Iran, over the war he initiated with Netanyahu, off the front pages.
For MAGA who have lately been upset and disappointed with the leader of their Cult-of-Personality, it is a look back on how they can unite on things like conspiracy theories and attacks on Democrats and everyone else not a MAGA. But it won't last long. Look at all the virulent thread titles and posts on this (HERE @ USMB), it's as if people have gotten an injection of some stimulant or a jump from some electrified cables.
While Trump himself saw the silver lining in the cloud of the attack, he immediately thought of pushing his Ballroom thingie, just like he did pushed his own thing after 9/11 .. calling into news and talk shows speaking if his building down near ground zero now being the tallest thanks to the terrorists.

- The Context: The comments were made to interviewer Alan Marcus during a live phone call shortly after the World Trade Center towers fell.
- The Reaction: Critics found the remarks insensitive, characterizing them as a form of self-promotion during a major tragedy.
- Accuracy: Trump's claim was factually inaccurate; the 70 Pine Street building was actually taller than 40 Wall Street, a FactCheck.org check via the Washington Post confirmed.
- Follow-up: Trump later accepted a $150,000 federal grant for businesses near Ground Zero that were affected by the attacks.
