President Trump sure has an odd way of remembering the nearly 3,000 people who died during the 9/11 attacks.
On Wednesday, Trump used a 9/11 memorial service at the Pentagon to reiterate why he apparently disinvited Taliban leaders from a meeting at Camp David. Then, in an apparent callback to the terror attacks 18 years ago, Trump warned that if the Taliban "come[s] back to our country," they'll be met with "power the likes of which the United States has never used before, and I'm not even talking about nuclear power."
