On Wednesday, September 11th, 2019, the whole world paid tribute, as it does every year, to the victims of the September 11th, 2001 attacks.
It has now been 18 years since the United States suffered the deadliest terrorist attack in its history, which killed more than 2,900 people. A tragedy that will remain forever etched in our memories.
The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, paid tribute to the victims of these attacks with a photo posted on his Twitter account. On this photo, you can see the politician alongside his wife at the site of the World Trade Center, known as ‘Ground Zero.’
A photo with the following message: ‘We will never forget,’ which caused a mass reaction from the American people for various reasons.
Today and every day, we pledge to honor our history, to treasure our liberty, to uplift our communities, to live up to our values, to prove worthy of our heroes, and above all, to NEVER FORGET. #Honor911pic.twitter.com/3xbEvl92py

Shocking details
First, many internet users have questioned, or were even outraged, about Melania and Donald Trump's position on the photo. Indeed, some think that the couple tried to stand in the place of the two towers, wanting to put themselves forward as the pillars of the United States. A theory that has convinced a lot of internet users who did not stop there. Indeed, others have noticed a striking detail on Melania Trump's coat.

It's a somewhat crazy theory, but it's the one that has caused the most trouble on social networks. The seams on the back of Melania's coat form what looks like a tower hit by what was perceived as an airplane. Some internet users wonder if this coincidence is really just a coincidence. The First Lady of the United States did not speak out on this controversy.
