Empathic Understanding | Trump Predicted 9/11 @EmpathicUnderstanding | Uploaded November 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
"I happen to think that they had not only a plane, but they had bombs that exploded almost simultaneously."

"How can it possibly go through the steel?"

"I think it was a plane with more than just fuel."

"To do that kind of destruction, is even more than a big plane. Because you're talking about taking out steel, the heaviest caliber steel"

"Larry Silverstein is a terrific owner in New York, and a very good friend of mine, who I just called. I was very worried about him. Because I assumed maybe he was in the building. He took possession of the building one week ago. As you know he just bought the World Trade Center. And he was in his office, and he was getting ready to move into the World Trade Center over the next two weeks. So, I just spoke to him."

-Donald Trump, September 11th, 2001

As you can hear, Trump had a hard time believing an aluminum plane can slice straight through steel and concrete.
On 9/11/01, he said he thought they had bombs explode simultaneously.

Two days later, on 9/13/01, Trump changed his mind when asked the same question, saying it was "the tremendous amounts of fuel that was dumped on the building."


In Trump's book, "The America We Deserve", published January 1999, he wrote:
"I really am convinced we're in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the bombing of the [1993] Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers..."
"One day we're told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin-Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jet-fighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan... He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later it's on to a new enemy and a new crisis"


"Larry Silverstein is a great guy. He's a good guy. He's a friend of mine." -Donald Trump May 13th, 2005
