Here’s a problem as I see it. Trump (although I know his supporters will disagree) isn’t always the most articulate speaker. I know he can be inspiring and positive with words, that’s not what I mean. Sometime he’ll say something awkwardly and conclusions are drawn about what he really thinks. Today he clarifies his original statement about Bush not keeping us safe. He distinguishes the fact of 9/11 from the blame of Bush.
But, in so doing, he opens another mess. It SOUNDS as if he’s heading into truther territory. But I don’t think he means they knew specifically that planes were hitting the WTC on 9/11. I think he means they knew something big and bad was coming.
However, if he’s going there at all I’d be a lot happier if he’d also throw Clinton in the bathwater along with Bush. Clinton knew it was coming too. I’d rather he threw ALL the establishment out...
If I’m wrong and he really IS going truther, well, then all bets are off. So far, I don’t think that’s what he meant.
You nailed it. I too don't think he is going Truther, but the way he describes the problem it's as if he's a Truther said it.
Trump does need to be more articulate.
It’s obvious anyone not trying to score political points that Trump is saying 2 things here. First he’s saying that they knew something was coming because HE knew something was coming (with less intelligence data then they had) and secondly he’s saying that you can’t say you kept people safe when the worst terrorist attack in the history of the country happened while you were in office. There was also an attack at LAX on Bush’s watch. Doesn’t mean he didn’t do a good job protecting the homeland after 9/11 considering the fact that they probably had other plans in the works but to suggest that everything counts except the actual attack is a disingenuous argument at best
“However, if he’s going there at all I’d be a lot happier if he’d also throw Clinton in the bathwater along with Bush.”
This is the primary season! There will be plenty of time to beat Hillary over the head with it when the time comes. And just maybe if Slo Joe is the candidate, not to have to waste any rocks on Hillary.
Patience, Grasshopper.

I heard a sound bite on the Radio today where Trump did mention Clinton when commenting on the failures leading up to 9/11. Could have been from the same Interview, but I wasn’t paying attention as to where he said it.
