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."

however the others were in the US legally which means they would have been able to carry out their terrorist attack.

Trump is not right all the time. Sometimes he says stupid stuff.

Mohamed Atta was the ringleader. He should have been deported. Stop making excuses for Jeb.

Only two had expired visas at the time of the attack and only one had a student visa.

That said, several of the individuals should have never been granted visas, as they were on CIA watch lists. So I think Mr. Trump’s statement could be spun to indicate that he would have revamped the entire immigration system AND intelligence sharing in 8 months.

Now if you believe that, I have a lovely Southern California wetlands to sell you.

George W. wasn’t paying attention to Al Qaeda in 2001 because he was too busy trying to give amnesty to illegal Mexicans.

What do you mean?

He’s saying it’s Bush’s fault that the 9/11 terrorists were in the country...but that he’s not blaming him.

Doesn’t that seem perfectly logical to you?

Yeah. I know.

Me, either.

You mean 9/11 did NOT happen during Bush's 1st term?

We really need to find a way to make this accompany any posting of Trump utterances:

I saw Trump on Fox today. What Trump said it would not happen under him because he is harder on illegals. The 9/11 Muslim terrorists were here on expires student Visas.

B.S.

Most of us are smart enough to get what is being said, and why - most of us.

We should have turned Saudi Arabia into a glass parking lot as well. And I do not give a flying rat’s ass about those Americans stupid enough to work for the House of Saud - They are traitors in my book; and if they got caught in a nuclear wipe of the Saudi royals, well too bad for them - they chose their side when they went to work for the Wahhabi death machine.

To: right way right

Post out of context B.S. often?

Here’s the opening line in that story:

“Donald Trump recalls with chagrin that he supported Barack Obama for president in 2008, but says he now realizes that those moving hope-and-change speeches were nothing more than rhetoric.”

Which means he took a chance on the guy in 2008, but ...

“...And as we become a diverse society, we’re going to have to deal with it more and more.”

Well, yes - particularly when it is you effing neo-con rump swabbing RINOs that disassemble are immigration laws, refuse to enforce our borders, refuse to prosecute those who violate our borders, rename the lawbreakers to be “undocumented immigrants,” hand out HB1 visas like they were penny candy, etc. etc.

More diverse is NWO lackey code for the globalists wet dream of emasculating the American people by flooding them with those who do not now and will not ever share our values.

The Bush Dynasty - starting with that evil son-of-a-bitch, Prescott Bush - has always been about instituting One World Government.
