"Over A Year Before 9/11, Trump Wrote Of Terror Threat With Remarkable Clarity"
BuzzFeed ^ | October 19, 2015 | Andrew Kaczynski

"In 2000, 19 months before Sept. 11, 2001, Donald Trump wrote extensively of the terrorism threat the United States was facing.

Trump, who at the time was considering a presidential bid on the Reform Party ticket, went so far as to say that an attack on a major U.S. city was not just a probability, but an inevitability.

“I really am convinced we’re in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers,” wrote Trump in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve. “No sensible analyst rejects this possibility, and plenty of them, like me, are not wondering if but when it will happen.”

Trump even mentions Osama bin Laden by name, in a criticism of an American foreign policy that too quickly jumps from one crisis to the next.

“One day we’re told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin-Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jetfighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan,” The Donald wrote. “He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later it’s on to a new enemy and new crisis.”"

Trump will turn out to be one of the best presidents of our lifetime.

Wait and see if we don’t dub him, ‘Donaldus Magnus’ one day.

Thank you, BW.

Rush used to refer to Reagan as “Ronaldus Magnus’, and after watching and studying Trump over the last year, it hit me that we’ll likely bestow the same honor on him, at some point.

I truly believe he’s got greatness within him.

I remember Rush saying that...And I totally agree with you that Dibakd Trump is exhibiting many of the same traits of greatness that Reagan did :)

Very prescient. The 1993 Trade Center bombing occurred on Clinton’s watch and the 2001 tragedy nine months after GW took office.

How much intel information and preventative plans were shared between Clinton and GW?

Terrorist timing is everything. Taking the reins should include mandatory, thorough sharing of information with his successor when a Potus leaves office.

Trump may be very different than Reagan in temperament and personality, but I really believe he shares the Greatness gene with him.

He’s going to make us proud that we elected him president.

Other people were aware of the threat as well.

I’m posting this, because they’re saying that Trump isn’t knowledgeable.

This info has been out there for more than a year. Sadly, people who need to know it don’t because the MSM won’t let it out.

If you’re on FB (I’m not), do what my sister does. Post it there if you have libs who visit your account. The media won’t inform the voters, so social media has to take over.

Yep - most of us were quick to say he was no Reagan, but he's looking more and more like he deserves a place on the same wall....time will tell.
