He was an inch away from the 911 Truther position.

No, he wasn't. Truthers believe that the generally accepted (and patently true) account of the events on 911 was false, and involved a cover-up of what actually happened, usually involving American complicity in the attack. Basically, that bin laden didn't do it (or, alternatively, that he didn't do it without our participation).

What Trump said goes nowhere even close to that position, and anyone who says he did (cough, cough) is the one who is "unhinged". Quite the opposite, Trump's position has long been (even prior to 911) that we didn't take the threat of bin laden seriously enough (not, as people like you say, that he is close to aligning himself with the Truthers, who maintain that bin laden wasn't the culprit).

As I said, any comparison of Trump, and the truthers, is simply wrong, unhinged, despicable, and reflects poorly on whoever makes such a statement.
