    When his deleted posts were calling attention to that victims to remember them, or saying we need to come together as a country like we did after 9/11.

    I don’t even know why they’re deleted?

    One in which he called on Americans to unite in a common purpose to combat the Covid-19 pandemic just as they came together after the 2001 attacks, and another where he drew attention not just to the victims who died on 9/11, but to all the people who died afterward as a result of the US War on Terror.
