Trump Proposes Making Ground Zero A National Monument

Donald Trump during speech.

During a recent campaign rally in New York, former President Donald Trump made a significant announcement regarding Ground Zero in Manhattan. Trump declared that if reelected, he would designate the Ground Zero site at the World Trade Center as a national monument, ensuring its protection and maintenance by the United States government.

Trump expressed his commitment to preserving the hallowed ground and honoring the memory of those who tragically lost their lives during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. By designating Ground Zero as a national monument, Trump aims to ensure that the site remains a lasting tribute to the victims and serves as a place of remembrance for future generations.

Trump's announcement came during a rally held in Uniondale, New York, where he emphasized the importance of safeguarding the historical significance of Ground Zero. His proposal seeks to secure the site's legacy and prevent any potential threats to its preservation in the future.

Prior to this announcement, Trump visited Ground Zero last week to participate in a commemoration event marking the 23rd anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11. His visit underscored his personal connection to the site and his ongoing commitment to honoring the victims and heroes of that fateful day.

If Trump's proposal is realized, Ground Zero would join a select group of national monuments across the country that hold special significance in American history. The designation would ensure that the memory of 9/11 and the sacrifices made on that day are never forgotten, serving as a symbol of resilience and unity for all Americans.
