President Donald Trump began the 17th anniversary of the most deadly international terror attack in U.S. history with a tweet about his domestic political enemies.
He was incensed about a new development in the investigation of a senior FBI agent caught conspiring with his lover to help ensure his defeat in 2016.
A text message revealed Monday night by a Republican congressman shows Peter Strzok telling Lisa Page in April 2017 that they should collaborate on a 'media leak strategy.'
So as he prepared to visit sacred Pennsylvania ground where 40 passengers and crew died as they prevented a hijacked plane from reaching Washington, D.C., the president quoted a paid of his favorite TV commentators to gin up his favorite political hardball game.
'We have found nothing to show collusion between President Trump & Russia, absolutely zero, but every day we get more documentation showing collusion between the FBI & DOJ, the Hillary campaign, foreign spies & Russians, incredible,' Trump wrote, paraphrasing the words of Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs and a frequent guest commentator.
President Donald Trump left Washington on Tuesday for a 9/11 memorial service in Pennsylvania, but not before tweeting about his political enemies
Before mentioning the terror attacks 17 years ago, the president's Twitter feed focused on 'collusion' among the FBI, Justice Department, Hillary Clinton campaign and foreign agents
Trump was venting about Monday night's revelation that senior FBI agent Peter Strzok told his lover in 2017 that they should collaborate on a 'media leak strategy,' presumably about Trump
2,996 people died on September 11, 2001 when Islamist hijakers flew planes into the twin towers of New York City's World Trade Center, slammed into the exterior of the Pentagon building in Virginia and crashed amid apassenger revolt in rural Pennsylvania
Four minutes later, 9/11 was back on his mind – but only long enough to retweet a photo circulated by his social media manager, showing him signing a 'Patriots Day' proclamation a day earlier.
'#NeverForget #September11th,' the president added, contributing two hashtags but little else to ease America's annual mourning.
When he returned to his 9/11 stream of consciousness before leaving the White House for a Pennsylvania memorial service, he found a way to bring the terror attacks back to his own administration by praising his attorney Rudy Giuliani, who was mayor of New York City when 2.996 people perished.
'Rudy Giuliani did a GREAT job as Mayor of NYC during the period of September 11th. His leadership, bravery and skill must never be forgotten. Rudy is a TRUE WARRIOR!' Trump tweeted.
But in between his notes about the nation-shaping Islamist blitz, he found a moment to put the Strozk text message on the country's radar.
'New Strzok-Page texts reveal “Media Leak Strategy”,' he marveled, citing a Fox News Channel report.
'So terrible, and NOTHING is being done at DOJ or FBI – but the world is watching, and they get it completely.'
Visitors to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pa., participated in a sunset memorial service on Monday where Trump is visiting

The president also quoted Dobbs saying that Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder 'could be running the Justice Department right now and it would be behaving no differently than it is.'
In the bombshell text message cited Monday in a letter to the FBI from North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows, Strzok wrote to Lisa Page: 'I had literally just gone to find this phone to tell you I want to talk to you about media leak strategy with DOJ before you go.'
Against the backdrop of his usual political fuming, Trump headed to Shanksville, PA along with the first lady.
The White House told reporters that 'bad weather' had forced the president to travel to Joint Base Andrews via motorcade instead of helicopter, denying the press the chance to ask him questions on the South Lawn.
The sky above 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was cloudy but the air was dry.
A half-hour later Trump's Twitter account published a photo of the president and first lady flanked by phalanxes of White House aides on the South Lawn, a picture taken a year ago with the sun shining brightly overhead.
The White House told reporters at about the same time that the staff of the Executive Office of the President would participate in a moment of silence on the South Lawn later in the morning.
Shanksville is where hijackers crashed a California-bound commercial airliner on Sept. 11, 2001, after the 40 passengers and crew members learned what was happening and attempted to regain control of the aircraft. Everyone on board was killed.
Nearly 3,000 people died on 9/11 when other airplanes were flown into New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in an attack planned by al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Nearly a decade later, bin Laden was killed in May 2011 during a U.S. military operation ordered by President Barack Obama.
Visitors to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania stopped Monday to recognize the names of all 40 victims from Flight 93
Trump, a New York native making his first visit as president to the Shanksville site, will focus on honoring the many lives that were lost that day.
"Certainly the focus will be on remembering that horrific day and remembering the lives that were lost, and certainly honoring the individuals who were not only lost that day, but also put their lives of the line to help in that process," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.
Trump observed the solemn anniversary for the first time as president last year. He and the first lady led a moment of silence at the White House accompanied by aides and administration officials at the exact time that hijackers flew the first of two airplanes into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers.
The president also participated in the Pentagon's Sept. 11 observance last year. Vice President Mike Pence will represent the administration there on Tuesday.
Trump was in his Trump Tower penthouse – 4 miles from the World Trade Center – during the 2001 attacks. He has a mixed history with Sept. 11, often using the terrorist strikes to praise the response of New Yorkers to the attack but also making unsubstantiated claims about what he did and saw that day.
He has also accused fellow Republican George W. Bush, who was president on Sept. 11, of failing to keep Americans safe.
Trump has said when talking about Muslims that "thousands of people were cheering" in Jersey City, New Jersey, situated across the Hudson River from lower Manhattan, as the towers collapsed. There is no evidence in news archives of mass celebrations there by Muslims.
Trump has also said he lost "hundreds of friends" in the attack on New York City. He has not provided any names but has mentioned knowing a Roman Catholic priest who died while serving as a chaplain to the city fire department.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
