Exchange as follows:
STEPHANIE RUHLE, host: In order to be the president of the United States, you have to be a leader. We have not seen your soft hand. We have seen your offense, but George Bush had to stand in front of America after 9/11, Barack Obama did after Sandy Hook. Help us understand who Donald Trump is as a man. I need to know that you will make us feel a safe and you will make us feel proud.
TRUMP: I think I have a bigger heart than all of them. I think I’m much more competent than all of them. When you talk about George Bush—I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time.
RUHLE: Hold on. You can’t blame George Bush for that.
TRUMP: He was president, OK. Blame him or don’t blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign.”

And still better than any other Candidate out there running thats for Americans first.
Trump going up to 32.8% and Carson falls back to 15.9% in the latest Reuters poll.
I want to see the whole interview. Bloomberg has yet to release it. So far we’re only getting little bits. I’d like to see what Trump said in context.
He is equal to the kenyan antichrist, which is the epitome of evil on earth. Because of this statement, I will vote for hitlery over chump trump. Anyone who still wants this garbage to be president us a cultist.
True, he even ushered out the Bin Laden family that was in the US.
Of course it happened, but why did Trump have to bring it up?Take off you "I hate Trump" blinders and read the interview.
She brought it up:
STEPHANIE RUHLE, host:... but George Bush had to stand in front of America after 9/11,
TRUMP: He was president, OK. Blame him or don’t blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign.”
Has reading comprehension always been a problem?
This will be a good thread to read FReeper comments and take notes.
If you’re suggesting the vermin Putin as a character reference for folks who suggest wtc was W.’s fault because of incompetence, you’re barking up the wrong tree, cultist.
People forget what was going on right before 9/11 happened.
Bush was getting together with Vincente Fox working on an amnesty plan.
There is nothing unusual about a Director of Security for a high-rise office tower conducting evacuation drills.
It’s part of his job. All schools and public buildings have evacuation drills.
Sheesh.
Point taken. Let me rephrase:
Why did Trump have to respond as he did?
Probably meant Hurricane Sandy. I'm his age and I sometimes get confused too.

I have been dealing with truthers. from the begnining. MIHOP v LIHOP ETC..
I really like Trump but I cannot blame Bush for 9-11.
The context is ambiguous, but the worst case scenario is that it was to attack Jeb Bush who boasted that GW was "keeping us safe." Technically he was, but only after 9/11. Obviously, for 9 months nobody was addressing the warning signs of an attack or problems within our intelligence community, regardless if you blame Clinton for creating that situation that Bush inherited and had for almost a year.
The beauty of the remarks is that it appeals to the Libertarian types and moderates/liberals who will interpret Trump as a "different kind of Republican" in his willingness to attack Bush where others will not utter a word. Hence Trump's high cross-over numbers from groups that are traditionally liberal.
I wish they would have been rebuilt instead of the whatever tower that’s in it’s their place now.
Isn’t this a rehash of what Trump said during the first debate.
