“That was not what Trump said. But, any lie that promotes the “cause”...”
Disclaimer: I’m not a Trump supporter, but I’m not a detractor.
What I heard Mr. Trump say is GWB was in office, he was at the top, so he’s responsible for what happens on his watch. Seems reasonable to me.
If this were true as implied here then I’m all five major news networks would’ve ran with it this morning.
What did he really say?
[ Statements like this are what lead some to wonder whether Trump is a stalking horse for Hillary Clinton — to whom he contributed generously in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Trump has also given $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation, and Hillary even attended Trump’s latest wedding in 2005.
Could be. Very scary if true and equally bad for our country if it results in Hillary being elected. ]
Either Trump is a Stalking Horse for Hillary or he used his donations to Hillary and the DNC as a liberal “Political Beard” since he was in business at the time.
After seeing the number the IRS did on the Tea Party, i do give Trump some benefit of the doubt on this, that being said i still don’t fully Trust Trump.
As for his political Positions, read this:

Specifically this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Party_of_the_United_States_of_America#2000_presidential_election
Trump seems to be more a “Perot” type than a Conservative or a Democrat, that being said after what happened to Perot, Trump does make me nervous.
Why is Trump following Democrat slurs on Republicans? Why? We know why? He’s always bashed Republicans and financed Democrats. He’s a fraud.
Wow, you post on subjects beyond your love affair with Putin.
“”George Tenet, the CIA Director, knew in advance that there would be an attack, and he said so to the president.”
Everybody back then knew there was going to be an attack, “it’s only a matter of time”. We had the WTC bombing, the USS Cole attack, the Marine barracks, an attack was expected. That is a HELL of lot different than “Bush knowing of the Sept. 11th attacks in advance”. Nowhere in this article does it directly quote Trump saying that, but of course leave it to the media to twist things.
THIS IS ALL A DISTRACTION! Trump is using these and other issues to keep minds off the real issues. We are all here arguing about 9/11 and not discussing the national debt, ISIS, the Muslim invasion of Europe and areas where The Narcissistic One is all show and no substance.
Yeah, that’s the ticket. That’s why it’s IBD’s fault the Democrat Donald keeps bringing up Democrat slanders of George W. Bush.
Trump never said any of these things in the article. Interesting that the article is sogned “unknown.”
The only kooks are the IBD gnomes.
Not really a “truther” thing at all. Tenant and Trump both predicted there would be an attack somewhere, but neither predicted the where and when. That’s a few light years away from either knowing and predicting there would be the 9/11 attacks and where. The Clinton security was so sloppy before 9/11 that it was perfectly reasonable for a genuine patrot to say, on that basis, and knowledge of what had been done before, that there would be another, far worse attack than before. Bush’s error was in allowing the sloppy Clinton security procedures to remain in place, thereby partially enabling the attacks. This article deliberately twists what Trump and Tenant said to make them sound like Michael Moore, which neither is.

If their goal was to increase the size and scope of the Federal government and bloat the budgets of contractors... They certainly succeeded.
Planned or just capitalized on is debatable between Truthers and those with their sanity still intact.
Trump told CNN on Tuesday, “George Tenet, the CIA Director, knew in advance that there would be an attack, and he said so to the president.”
Plus there were low level agents screaming at their higher ups that something was going on only to be squelched because they didn’t want the bad PR should they be wrong, ie. allegations of islamophobia etc....
And the Bush/Saudi connection didn’t help matters much either....
Imagine if an agent arrested a Saudi student going to one of those flight schools before 9/11, one call to their rich 3rd cousin oil Shiek over there in the kingdom who was friends with their inbred king and they would probably be fired within the week.
I noticed that you didn’t actually address the fact that you were implicitly lying in your presentation.
Having predicted what was coming, from known facts, it would appear that the "Donald" clearly established some credentials on the subject.
(Lou Dobbs is probably the most credible Conservative on Fox.)
The Kooks are those who close their ears to any criticism of our "Leaders."
Lately, the IBD is moronic.
Trump predicted that an act like 9/11 would likely occur. He basically said that Bush didn’t take precautions.
Remember, America was asleep at the time.
I plan on voting for Trump but this is a dumb move for him to make. He’ll need some of those other Republican votes to win the election. He’s sounding more and more like his old nemesis Rosie O’Donnell.
Al Qaeda doc recovered in Afghanistan from OBL himself points to the Clintons as collaborating with the terrorist.
I predict that the trumpbots would rather agree with the worst and vilest of the moonbats at DU than disagree with their new earthly diety.
Bush DID get advance warning of an attack, but where does that mean Trump is accusing Bush of “conspiracy”? Trump consistently says he doesn’t blame Bush for 9-11. He was contradicting Jeb and said that we were certainly not safe when 9-11 happened on Bush’s watch.
And IBD supports Obama’s utter reluctance to show the long form of his birth certificate? It was only after Trump wouldn’t back down that His Highness finally flashed the supposed long form of his birth certificate very briefly showing it to the media.
What’s the matter with IBD?
Your mistake is trying to link al Qaeda conspirators to the Government (the Saudi Monarchy), they were trying to over-throw. bin Laden’s was to the Monarchy in Arabia, what Lenin & Trotsky were to the Czars.
