<p>President Trump is reportedly planning to skip the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero marking the September 11 attacks, according to a report from <a href=”https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/28/trump-skipping-911-ceremony-in-new-york/”>TMZ</a>. The outlet reports the reason appears to be straightforward: Trump reportedly wants to deliver a speech at the event, but organizers do not allow speeches at the World Trade Center ceremony.</p>
<p>According to TMZ, the native New Yorker is said to want to address the crowd at the site where the Twin Towers once stood, but the annual commemoration has long followed a format that does not include remarks from public officials or dignitaries. Instead, the ceremony traditionally centers on the reading of victims’ names and moments of silence marking key moments from the 2001 attacks.</p>
