Donald Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., will spend the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks cashing in on a boxing match in Florida. 

The two are set to offer “alternative” commentary to this weekend’s match between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort via the FITE streaming platform. 

The price? $49.99.  

If there is any charity component to the former president’s participation, it is not mentioned on the event’s website or in the pricing details. He previously hosted boxing matches at his since-bankrupt casinos. 

The Sept. 11th fight at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Florida will pit 58-year-old former boxing champ Holyfield, who hasn’t fought in a decade, against Belfort, a former UFC champ who is 14 years younger.

While Trump is marking the 20th anniversary of the attacks by charging fans to listen to him talk about boxing, President Joe Biden will visit all three crash sites: New York, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

The almost 400 trees will make up an urban forest, planted on what is in essence a landscaped roof of the seven-story deep Memorial Museum that is just below plaza level.

Rows of trees, orderly if seen from the east west direction, and with more of an abstract design if viewed from the north / south view. What Architect Michael Arad calls "abacus-like bands."

From inside the Memorial Pavilion, visitors will view the massive tridents as they enter the museum space and move toward bedrock.

The last column, stands wrapped in protective sheathing. Another large artifact, an ambulance, has just been lowered into the space. Its storage in this location is just temporary, as it will move into the museum space. In the background, the 'slurry wall' that held back the waters of the Hudson, and kept lower Manhattan from flooding after the attacks.
