Donald Trump: George W. Bush Failed to Stop the 9/11 Attacks
Loose cannon Donald Trump still might succeed in getting on the bad side of conservative voters if he keeps saying things like this: Donald Trump Suggests George Bush Failed to Stop 9/11 Attacks.
“When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time,” Mr. Trump said.
Blaming 9/11 on Mr. Bush is taboo for Republicans and has largely been off-limits for Democrats. Pressed on whether he really meant to blame the attacks on Mr. Bush, the billionaire developer did not back down.
“He was president, O.K.?,” Mr. Trump said. “The World Trade Center came down during his reign.”
This is Trump’s style; his real target is the former president’s brother Jeb Bush, but once he starts attacking he doesn’t differentiate between family members.
