Trump Embraces Conspiracy Theory On The Sept. 11th Attacks
IBD ^ | 10/20/2015 | Unknown

Posted on 10/21/2015 11:43:51 AM PDT by elhombrelibre

Election '16: Donald Trump charges that President George W. Bush "knew in advance" of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Promoting the Obama birther conspiracy was bad enough, but this is beyond the pale.

There may not be a historical precedent to a major presidential candidate accusing his own party's last president of knowingly allowing an enemy to attack America, killing thousands. Negligence bordering on treason: This is the charge Donald Trump is making against George W. Bush.

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."

You statement id full of assumptions.

You cannot trust the Republicans to do the right thing. They will screw us. They have screwed us the last ten years and they had no intention of fulfilling their promises. Please give me a break.

You cannot trust the democrats to do the right thing. They will screw us.

There is no downside to Trump. We may be pleasantly surprised.

On March 21, 1999 at least 2 people contacted AP reporter Martha Mendoza and let her know the news story she was working on was to be used as preparation for a terrorist attack.

I know about 2 because I was 1 of the 2.

That attack was the failed millennium bombing.

If Trump knows something about the terrorist attack then he should know it was Hillary that was responsible for making the preparations for the attack.

You actually have the nerve to call Trump on the issue of truth, after posting this and trying to make hay off of it, knowing the headline is a lie?

The word “always” is an absolute and Trump has not ALWAYS supported or donated to Democrats exclusively. He has also donated to Republicans, and many who he is now running against. Get your facts straight before you open your mouth and spew stupidity.

Notice that every time you troll me, you don't actually dispute any of the details.

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."

What the intelligence reports of Tenet's CIA actually told Bush was that al-Qaida was plotting terrorist attacks, but neither Tenet nor Bush knew how or when any such attacks would take place.

Did Trump say they knew how or when the attack would come? No, he didn't, yet IBD is implying he did. How is that embracing conspiracy theories? All he is stating is Bush was warned attacks were going to happen, which is true. The rest is media distortion to make Trump look like a nut, just like they distorted his comments about illegal aliens being criminals.

Al qaeda is planning an attack.

That’s probably just as true today as it was in 2001. It’s about as meaningless a trope as I can imagine. It’s absolutely useless information.

Except of course, that’s not what Trump said.

Yup, Trump has donated almost exclusively to Republicans over the past 3 or so years, and before that time, his donations to Republicans and Democrats were about equal:

1989-2011
$497,690 (Republicans)
$581,350 (Democrats)
2012-present
$463,450 (Republicans)
$3,500 (Democrats)

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/jul/09/ben-ferguson/donald-trumps-campaign-contributions-democrats-and/

Depicting Trump as some kind of Soros styled “Financer” of the Democratic party falls flat. I’m surprised it’s even still being used against Trump all the way into October.

That’s probably just as true today as it was in 2001.

Not when you're told it's "months" or even "weeks" away. There is a difference between being told there is a danger of attack, and being told there is a certainty of a major catastrophic terror attack that is imminent; plus he was even requested to up covert action against Al-Qaeda as early as March, but which the Bush administration only approved immediately after 911.

Wasn’t Hillary in the Senate in NY when Trump was donating to her? Makes good sense for Mr. New York and his business interests to do that.
