It's been 20 years, and I STILL cannot watch the reading of the names. Not even 15 seconds of it.

All but one former US President made it to this 9/11 memorial. Mr Carter is in frail health and no one expected him to attend.

The other one is commentating a boxing match between two older boxers.

Wow. I've never thought of it like that but you're right.

I should note that standing next to FLOTUS Dr. Jill Biden is former Mayor Bloomberg. His companion is the tall woman who's name escapes me then Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Schumer.

Also missing: America's major, Giuliani. As he was major of the city then, that is noticeable.
Not that he is being missed, but telling.

Carter wasn't expected to attend.

Donald had an exhibition boxing match between a 55 year old and a 40 something year old. #priorities

I'm not a fan of his, but in fairness, Bush did actively participate. He was in Shanksville...

Bush Speaks at 9/11 Memorial Ceremony

Jimmy Carter is in his mid-90s and in fragile health - certainly a legitimate reason to not participate publicly.

Trump was occupied at a boxing match between two guys who are too old to box...
Sigh...
