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."

Dense as a granite, aren’t you?

Trump plainly stated that had his immigration POLICIES been in effect, that 9/11 would not have occurred. Your lunatic GOPe crew of RINO retards (the Bushes included) put us into this position through years - even decades - of outright indifference to enforcing our immigration laws, and going bat-sh*t crazy with HB1 visas, the sum of which thus guaranteed the flooding our country with all-manner of unsavory characters.

Had we exercised some degree of control over who comes into this country, then perhaps our population would not have exploded to the point where tracking overstays is a near impossible task. You RINO clowns set us up for the damn fall, and then have the gaul to chastise those who call you out on the result created by your freaking indifference and negligence!

All of them had fraudulent or incomplete or else illegible visa applications - and there was a systemic negligence in disqualifying such by the personnel responsible at our embassies in Saudi Arabia ...

ow, why do you suppose those government personnel, who are charged with the important duty of being THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE against possible belligerents entering our country, REPEATEDLY failed in their duty?

Hmm, I don’t suppose it had anything to do with the fact that the Bush clan has its nose so far up the asses of the Saudi Royals that they can serve as a second set of eyes for them?

I’m all for the total annihilation of every last Muslim dog on the planet. I have absolutely no problem with nuking every Islamic state off the face of the Earth - beginning with Saudi Arabia.

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


Very few politicians were paying attention to Al queda in 2001.

bin laden declared war but who the heck knew who he was and the amount of violence he would commit...very few

Ah, somebody want to post that pic of the FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND ILLEGALS MARCHING ON DALLAS, here for Mr. Zhang Fei, please?

When the dirty trespassing bastards come arrogantly tromping down your main street, waving their national flags and demanding your acquiescence, its then time to break out the M2s and clean house ... and I could not care less about their age, sex or state of being - or the fact of whether they are armed. WIPE THEM OUT!

They were not “vague” - they were actionable; and, at the very least, deserved follow up ... But we now understand why there was no follow up ... Bush did not want to piss off his musloid leash holders - the Saudi Royals.

I think you'll be very disappointed if Trump ends up in the White House.

Where do you come up with the $100K per illegal? Moreover, what makes you think that we round up only ONE at a time? Don’t you think it possible to nab dozens at once? I’ll bet if we hit one of those sanctuary cities, we could nab a few thousand in one shot - and arrest the politicos responsible too. Those fools should be given life sentences w/o parole.

“...Like he’s gonna start digging into the authentic-looking fake documents used by illegal aliens working on his properties.”

And I suppose you have irrefutable proof to back up this accusation? Put it on the table, sparky.

I fear that when Trump gets elected President we are going to spend the next two days talking you down off the roof. :-)

Well, Mikey, let’s reread what Mr. Trump actually stated ...

Here are the quotes from the article:

1.) “extremely, extremely tough on immigration”

2.) “So there’s a good chance that those people would not have been in our country,”

3.) “I’m not blaming George Bush, 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.”

Hard to see in those quotes where he actually says he personally would have prevented the attacks. He only states that there is “a good chance” that the bad guys “would not have been in our country” ... And since he likely knows, as we do, that the muzzy bastards were long here on expired visas ... it is fair to state that his immigration policies, put into immediate practice, would have discovered the supposed “oversight.”

Since Mr. Trump is not a muzzie boot-licking, Saudi Royal ass kissing dweeb - as was your buddy, GWB - I suspect he would have made some immediate changes on all levels so to at the very least enforce not only our immigration laws, but also underscore the need for government agencies to take their job seriously. I also suspect that since Mr. Trump is a DOER - he actually gets things done, on time and on budget, unlike the slouches that infect our political class of do-nothing drones - that he would affect such changes within the first week of his Administration.

But you go ahead, Mikey, and keep right on pushing for the status quo you so obviously worship. I figure, you must work for one of the leeches in this cabal of treacherous boot-licking GOPe traitors, else you would not have such a hard-on to go after those who challenge their choke-hold on government - and, by extension, we Americans.

Thanks for posting this. And it’s a shame too many people read the dishonest headline and buy it hook, line, and sinker. We spend so much time here griping about a dishonest media, then react with a knee-jerk even when the dishonesty is right there in front of us.

Had we enforced immigration laws properly, those on expired visas wouldn’t have been here. They may have found another way to hit us, but claiming that a tougher enforcement of immigration would have made it less likely is perfectly reasonable.
