Trump triples down on George W. Bush’s responsibility for 9/11, Donald Trump says he doesn’t collapsed out accusation above admiral George W. Bush that the Sept. 11 alarm attacks happened on his watch. But he can anticipate of three affidavit why one could authority Bush responsible.

And, he ability add, they are three things a Admiral Trump would do actual differently.

“You consistently accept to attending to the getting at the top,” Trump said Saturday in a blast interview. “Do I accusation George Bush? I alone say that he was the admiral at the time, and you know, you could say the blade stops here.”

So why ability one accede Bush responsible?

No. 1: Bush’s clearing policy. “We had actual anemic clearing laws,” Trump said, abacus that conceivably if Bush had had a Trump-style clearing policy, abounding with “the able laws that I’m wanting, these terrorists wouldn’t accept been in the country.”

No. 2: People knew that the FBI, the National Security Council, and the CIA weren’t administering advice about abeyant threats. “They were not talking to anniversary other,” Trump said. “If I’m president, I wish to accept my three a lot of important agencies talking to anniversary added and analogous with anniversary other.”

And No. 3: George Tenet, Bush’s administrator of axial intelligence, “knew in beforehand that there would be an attack, and he said that.”

“I don’t accusation anybody,” Trump continued, afterwards advertisement those points. “But it’s possible,” he continued, that had the administering had stronger action on those points, “perhaps something could accept been done that was acutely bigger than the affliction advance anytime perpetrated on the United States.”

Trump, the absolute acreage mogul, and above Florida governor Jeb Bush accept been casting animadversion at anniversary added back Friday, afterwards Trump acicular out during a Bloomberg News account that “the World Trade Center came down during [former admiral Bush’s] reign.”

Trump alternate blaze on Twitter, abacus that he was just getting affable if the accountable came up for altercation at the debate. Like it or not, he said, Bush was in the White House if the Twin Towers came down.

“I just didn’t wish to abash him,” Trump said, insisting that Jeb Bush’s “statement was wrong.”

According to a contempo YouGov/Huffington Post poll taken in the canicule afterwards the endure Republican debate, added than 80 percent of Republicans accept George W. Bush did either a “good” or “excellent” job “keeping the U.S. safe while president.”

But even because Bush’s administration alone afterwards 9/11, Trump can’t say he agrees.

“I’m not abiding that anybody can acknowledgment that question. Because you don’t know,” Trump said — finer authoritative the point that it’s difficult to prove a negative. “Was it something we did? Was it action that kept it? All I apperceive is that the Twin Towers came down, and I was there.”
