Comments on 9/11 anniversary during boxing match commentary

On the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Trump opted not to join other living presidents at the official memorial ceremony at Ground Zero. Instead, he visited a police precinct and a fire station, where he hinted at a 2024 run, and later provided color commentary for a Triller Fight Club boxing match between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort. During the broadcast, he criticized the Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan, calling it "the greatest embarrassment in the history of our country."
