Trump would have slammed the border shut and instigated an immediate review of all Saudi Visa's that had been issue over the last 5 years. And he would have removed the communication firewall that Clinton/Gorelick had built between the various U.S. intel agencies.
Check this out... Over A Year Before 9/11, Trump Wrote Of Terror Threat With Remarkable Clarity
Aside from the issue of the illegals who have invaded this country, I think Trump would have done a much better job of keeping track of the people who come into this country legally. Once they get here it seems there is no effort to monitor their status and activities. That is a huge problem with national security implications. It has to be fixed.
Unfortunately presidents of both parties have allowed unchecked immigration. Democrats want more voters and Republicans want more cheap labor.
I posted a similar thread - I did not see that other post. Thanks for the link.
Would he now? We’re all so wise in hindsight.
The Donald is certainly happy to trumpet all the things he would have done, informed with that hindsight.
I bet he wouldn’t have. He’s operating with post 9/11 thinking. His statements in his book tell us he would have entered office acting on that, but there’s zero change it would have chanced what happened on 9/11. Government doesn’t move that fast. A change on his first day in office in January 2001 would not have made any difference in a plot already years in the making. It’s ridiculous to even claim that. If 9/11 happened three years later it would be a valid point. Hell, presidents don’t get their first budget in place until year 2 and any policy they push in congress takes months to years to put in place. It’s government, it moves slow by it’s very nature.
