BuzzFeed dug up an old quote from Donald Trump talking about a large-scale
terror attack 19 months before 9-11.
In his 2000 book, The America We Deserve,
Trump 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 little kids playing with firecrackers.
Trump also mentioned the mastermind of the attack, writing, quote, 1 day we're told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin Laden
is public enemy number 1 and US jet fighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan.
He escapes back under some rock and a few news cycles later, it's onto a new enemy and a new crisis. Trump. Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, hold on a second. Is this really Trump before 9-11?
Have you read this? It's 2000 in his book. Are we making this, did somebody make this up? Did you make this up, Mika? Nick.
Nick. I did. Did you make this up? Nick, tell us it's over, right? Because you're wrong about everything. Mika, stop. I don't think it's over. What's the rage here? Will you stop? No, it's cute. I think it's cute. Well,
really quickly though, I mean, so Willie, that was...
2000.
In a book he wrote in the year 2000. Well, it was published in 2000. He could have written in 1999 for all we know. Exactly. He might have been more pressure. So he predicted,
basically predicted
the attacks from.
