Remember when Trump... claimed that he predicted Osama bin Laden's attacks a year before 9/11?

Trump has made the claim multiple times, such during his campaign on the Alex Jones Radio Show, on Twitter, and after the raid on ISIS leader al-Baghdadi when he claimed that the event was more important than the death of bin Laden. Trump did in fact mention Osama bin Laden in his 2000 book The America We Deserve in the context of how the Clinton administration was mishandling multiple threats, referencing a 1998 air strike on bin Laden’s compound. While Trump originally asserted that no one had heard of bin Laden, he was a well-known and reported on threat at the time, which owed to the reasoning behind the airstrikes in the first place. Trump’s book also did warn of a large terror attack, although this was already the driving force of concern about bin Laden and other possible sources of terrorism.

Of course we should have captured Osama Bin Laden long before we did. I pointed him out in my book just BEFORE the attack on the World Trade Center. President Clinton famously missed his shot. We paid Pakistan Billions of Dollars & they never told us he was living there. Fools!..
