According to a report from the New York Post, former president Donald Trump is planning to visit Ground Zero in Manhattan on Saturday as part of the 20th-anniversary remembrance of the 9/11 attack.

Trump’s visit will come hours after he released a video using the somber day to attack current President Joe Biden over his Afghanistan withdrawal by claiming “The leader of our country was made to look like a fool, and that can never be allowed to happen.”

With Biden expected to visit Ground Zero early Saturday morning before appearing at the other two sites of 9/11 plane crashes, Trump told Fox News Friday night about his Saturday plans, scheduled for the afternoon, before taking an additional shot at Biden over Afghanistan, saying, “It is very depressing. his was supposed to be a day of victory. Now it is a day of embarrassment. How do you have this happen? I think Biden rushed it [the Afghan pullout] to try to claim victory and now, he looks like a fool.”

The internet is mocking a viral video that been viewed over one million times in which a man claiming the U.S. is “in distress” says “my father told me” that the U.S. Secretary of Defense sent every member of the military a text ordering them to get vaccinated by 10 AM the next day.

12 U.S. Military fighter jet pilots “walked off the job,” the man in the video claims, instead of getting vaccinated.

CNN’s top fact-checker, Daniel Dale, calls the video “nonsense,” and he is being far more kind than many others.

Aside from maybe the man’s father telling him a false story, not a word in the video is true.

This viral video is nonsense. It begins with a bonkers claim that the Secretary of Defense sent a text to all active military demanding they get vaccinated by 10 AM the next day. There was no such text. Also, the military’s actual vaccination deadlines begin in November. pic.twitter.com/6eNrhFpCJz

The website that ran the story is fake:

Important tip: Don’t rely on internet stories told by a guy who begins his dramatic story by saying “my dad just let me know this.”

One more tweet: the gentleman in this very viral video is a bodybuilder with 4,600 Instagram followers. (Thanks to @JaneLytv for pointing out where the vid came from.) Here’s what his Instagram story currently says. pic.twitter.com/iEv6TZw1Bj

This is just one of several Twitter accounts sharing the same video. Apparently its author doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “apartheid.” If it were an actual “vaccine apartheid,” only a very few powerful people would have access to the vaccine.

WATCH:
US military walk-outs occurred after Biden mandates vaccines for Federal employees & military

Fighter jet pilots have walked out:

Here’s how some are responding to the fake story:

If any so-called super patriots told you they joined the military to “take a bullet” for America, but would go AWOL to avoid a needle — they lied to you.

Btw, unless it’s not clear, pretty evident the story he’s telling is not true.

I feel like this dude actually did us a favor because this is easily disproved by asking any single active duty person if they got a text message from the Secretary of Defense last night. https://t.co/29b9RuJAkC

HAHAHAHA.
1) The SecDef doesn’t text the troops.
2) “My dad just let me know this.”
3) The deadline for USAF vaccines is Nov 2. (https://t.co/z9zJEvkw7e)
4) Your aunt is a KC-135 boom operator? Is she also your sister, maybe? She’d be the oldest boom operator in the USAF. https://t.co/HKTG3vur4V

If 12 F-22 pilots actually “walked off the job” like this guy’s claiming, then we’ll be seeing 12 court martials for desertion or disobeying orders.

I highly doubt more than a few service members will downright refuse to take the vaccine. A dishonorable discharge isn’t worth it https://t.co/oJwYxpiaPG

— Alex (@_alex_joshua) September 10, 2021

This is bullshit.
If this IS true (it’s not) then that is a court martial – period. This isn’t fucking mcdonalds, you don’t just ‘walk off the job’.

And these are F22 pilots?
🤣🤣🤣Yeah…right.

This is absolute bullshit.

Who is this fucking clown?

Again: Total bullshit. https://t.co/0Yn2h9hVhX

It’s all laughably fake. There’s a reason he’s hunkered down in his car claiming his dad told him about a group text the Secretary of Defense allegedly sent the entire military … which is not a thing that happens.

So he lied

For 45 minutes on Friday White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki patiently took reporters’ questions, answering all, even the many that were immaterial to the minds of most Americans, but at the end of a long week she finally shut down Fox News personality Peter Doocy.

“Why is it that you’re trying to require anybody with a job or anybody who goes to school to to get the COVID-19 vaccine, but you are not requiring that of migrants that continue walking across the southern border into the country?” Doocy asked.

Psaki was not going to play along.

“Well look, our objective is to get as many people vaccinated across the country as humanly possible and so the President’s announcement yesterday was an effort to empower businesses, to give businesses the tools to protect their workforces, that’s exactly what we did,” she replied. “But certainly we want everybody to get vaccinated, and more people are vaccinated, whether they are migrants or whether they are workers, protects more people in the United States.”

Doocy, apparently unable to discern that 100 million Americans getting vaccinated will help end the pandemic faster than vaccinating migrants crossing the border, pressed on.

“But it’s a requirement for people at a business, with more than 100 people and it’s not a requirement for migrants at the southern border,” he stated.

“That’s correct,” was Psaki’s response, shutting down to nonsensical line of questioning.

“Go ahead,” she told the next reporter.
