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 Im much more competent than all of them. When you talk about George BushI mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time.
RUHLE: Hold on. You cant blame George Bush for that.
TRUMP: He was president, OK. Blame him or dont blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign.

I am no fan of GWB, but with 911 only a few months later, that is hardly time to get sufficient control over an emasculated military and set up adequate intelligence and defense capabilities to have earned accountability for failing to halt the attack.
“Sad to see truthuer drivel on FreeRepublic.”
So tell us, inquiring minds want to know, why is it “drivel?”
Well Democrat Clinton was President when WTC 1 happened (1993), Khobar Towers (1996) and the USS Cole (1998), and Democrat FDR was in power when Pearl Harbor was attacked - so I guess they were all as responsible for those things as W was for 9-11.
Not sure what point Trump was trying to make?
What kind of help are the people of Sandy Hook looking for? Gun Control?
(yes, that should have been spelled “censor”)
I don't twist that into an Alex Jones-like statement. But I have no doubt that they will claim, based upon that statement, that Trump is with them...
After 911 and still under Bush’s watch, more Muslims were allowed to enter the U.S. than the previous two decades before 911. All this while he made American citizenship all but pointless as tens of millions of foreigners entered illegally as Bush aided and abetted it.
All during war time!
What a great leader!
It just never ends does it.
Here’s a point.
A captain of his ship is held to account for what goes on underneath him. If a captain runs his ship aground, even though he wasn’t personally responsible, he’s still accountable.
What is to spin? I was a guest in Bush’s Oval Office, but Trump is right. It happened. The fact is wrong?
During war time.
Seriously? Your boy Walker flamed out and now you join these trolls? Wow.

“what the hell is wrong with stating a damn fact?”
The bushbots can’t handle the truth.
From Bloomberg Politics (less than an hour ago): Jeb Bush Calls Trumps 9/11 Comment on His Brother Pathetic
I stayed clear of the 911 conspiracy theories since I don’t feel burdened to try to resolve controversies that people who know cannot.
However, you may want to study up on Rick Rescorla, director of security for the Morgan Stanley at the World Trade Center at the time of the attack. He evidently knew something was up; why didn’t the Bush administration? Rescorla is credited with saving thousands by having evacuation drills before the attack. He lost his life evacuating thousands during the attack. I have often wondered why he is not hailed as the hero he is.
they should be huge flags. This is something I’d expect from Bill Maher or Rosie O’Donnell, the extreme left. What the hell was his point of even saying it?
These are the kind of things Trump does that makes me wonder if he really wants all of this.
Yes Bloomberg.
It still won’t help little Yeb!
