Donald Trump: I would have prevented 9/11
CNN ^ | 10/18/15 | Eric Bradner

Posted on 10/18/2015 8:46:12 AM PDT by jimbo123

Donald Trump says he's not blaming George W. Bush for 9/11, but he claims that if he'd been president, the attacks never would have happened.

In an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," the real estate mogul said that since he's "extremely, extremely tough on immigration" the attackers wouldn't have been in position to commandeer U.S. flights.

"So there's a good chance that those people would not have been in our country," Trump said.

He took another shot at Jeb Bush for claiming that Bush's brother, the 43rd president, kept the nation safe.

"I'm not blaming George Bush," Trump said. "But I don't want Jeb Bush to say, 'My brother kept us safe,' because September 11 was one of the worst days in the history of this country."

Yes, the Bush administration could have done more to prevent 9/11, which by the way was a hell of a lot worse than Benghazi.

But as for the immigration aspect, Muhammad Atta and several other hijackers had already arrived in the US during the Clinton administration.

It’s Bush’s fault that he didn’t provide the correct leadership skills to instill a sense of urgency to his executive agencies of the dangers to the nation.

Bush had the tools to deport these people under national security grounds.

OK, so when did Trump contribute $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation, before or after 2014?

The good news is, I assume he was able to write it off on his Taxes.

How does a President keep America safe, while aiding and abetting tens of millions to enter the United States illegally during war time?

Alright, time to give up on this blowhard. He would’ve singlehandedly stopped 9/11? let me guess, he’ll also make everyone in America millionaires and give us all a new Ford truck when he burns all the Toyotas in this country... yeah, right. sounds like a liberal promising you the world.

If Trump had been POTUS America would have been far different, better obviously, but fate decided that was not the time yet for him, fate thought it best the morons of America should first experience living under a sharia umbrella first, then when the idiots are absolutely fed up THEN they will realize just what could have been a different path.

Trump does not have a time travel device like Dr. Who, but he does have faith and sincerity.

You know, every time slickwillie pops into my head I jes can’t hep myseff for thinking dirty words are so apropos.

For you I’ll call him dipshite, this time.

Yeb is a lot thicker skinned than some give him credit for. He wants the job. Its going to take a lot more to get him to quit.

In the end, I am not 100% sure Trump does really really wants the job. It seems more a challenge to him. And I keep getting this gnawing feeling that we all should be very careful what we wish for.

1. How does that work Mikey?

2. Trump simply reminded 911 occurred on Bush's watch. Is this not accurate?

Two simple questions Mikey. Can you deal with it?

Especially since after the election, instead of putting his team together, pres elect Bush was fighting the Gore election thieves.

Btw Mikey from my experience dealing with all kinds of people, when a subject answers a question with a question, it's sets off all the right alarms.

See the tagline Mikey?
