Donald Trump On New York Bombing: 'I Called It Before The News' (Huff and Puff ComPost Alert)
Huff and Puff ComPost ^ | 09/19/2016 | Dave Jamieson

I should be a newscaster, he boasts.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump patted himself on the back Monday morning for calling the weekend attack in Manhattan a “bombing” before officials did.

“What I said was exactly correct,” Trump boasted in an interview on “Fox and Friends.” “I should be a newscaster because I called it before the news.”

At a rally in Colorado Springs on Saturday, Trump had informed the crowd that a bomb had just gone off in New York City, even though police had not yet said exactly what happened. The explosion in the Chelsea neighborhood injured 29 people, and a second explosive device was found nearby.

“Just before I got off the plane, a bomb went off in New York, and nobody knows exactly what’s going on, but, boy, we are really in a time. We better get very tough, folks,” Trump told rallygoers.

Presidents ― and presidential candidates, for that matter ― generally don’t make pronouncements about emergencies until some of the facts have come in. Trump’s opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, also hastily referred to the incident as a “bombing” on Saturday, though she doesn’t appear to be taking credit now for her read on the situation.

“I’ve been briefed about the bombings in New York and New Jersey,” Clinton said in a back-and-forth with reporters on her plane Saturday, alluding to the pipe bomb-style device found on the Jersey Shore.

Um, how is what Trump said “boasting?” He simply stated the facts. Or is knowledge of facts now considered “boasting” by leftscum? (Apparently it is.)

I wonder if all these bombs were just a distraction and the five guys with guns were the main attack headed for a NY airport? This could have been a Mumbai style attack which was broken up. How did they know to stop the five guys in a car?

So NOW they admit she said “bombing”. They want it both ways.
The media is despicable!

The media is insulting us with such nit-picking, tit-for-tat horse poop. Of course it was a bomb. What else would it have been that blew out the window of the business in 26th street? A fart? Naw, Hillary wasn’t anywhere close by.

I think there’s a lot more we’re not being told. I would say it is to not tip off the cell.

IF Trump loses (only a cheep trick or a bad ballot count could cause this) He should not give up!
1) Buy One America News network and make it national. Hire Sean Hannity and Others to punch Foxes Clock!
2) Start a new Party to Rival the GOP—The Conservative Reform Party (name the Whigs if you want)
3) Ask for a recount—take it to them before they are soon to be corrupted Supream Court.

Part of the reason he scooped them is because THEY wasted time twisting their hankies, trying to think of some lies that might explain it away.
