Not confused, you're all just wrong. The correct way is 9/11/2001 as it's just the shorthand of "September 11, 2001."
“Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

He wants to kill people by denying them aid. I think he legitimately wants to cause deaths just so he can slap "disrespectful people" in the face.

Remember that song in the air tonight? Europe is the guy who is drowning, Trump is the guy who didn't lend a hand and we are all Phil Collins.

To be fair, the US is also drowning, but yeah the apparent intent behind it is disgusting.

Shortest period to longest period; not the middle one first, then the shortest, then the longest, that's just wrong.

So it's about retaliation, not about helping Americans. Now there is the Donald Trump we all know and love.

Good god. I could understand if this was about helping the US, but this? Just no.
