"Donald Trump says that if he had been president in 2001, his

"I am extremely, extremely tough on illegal immigration. I'm extremely
tough on people coming into this country," Trump said on Fox News
Sunday. "I believe that if I were running things, I doubt those families
would have -- I doubt that those people would have been in the country."

Donald Trump, the *perfect* asshole candidate for the party of assholes.
Really. And just behind Trump, another asshole candidate, Ben Carson.
Crikey.


You (nor I) have no way of knowing if Trump's position on illegal
immigration would have prevented al-Qaeda from sending terrorists to
the USA to attend flight schools in preparation for the 9/11 attacks had
he been POTUS at the time. Warnings of "something is up" were
raised back when Clinton was still in office for cripes sake and he
didn't do anything about it either.

That said, you crack me up (again). In the past you have placed
responsibility for 9/11 squarely on GWB because it happened on his
watch. Trump basically just said the same thing but now he's a "perfect
asshole" according to you.



I don't recall Trump's policies on immigration in 2001. Do you? And he
wasn't "running things" back then and it isn't likely he'll be "running
things" beyond his businesses in the future.

I doubt if Trump knew what Bush did or did not do in the lead up to
2001. His knowledge of such things seems non-existent.



Not what Trump said. He said "if" he had been POTUS at the time with
the illegal immigration position that he has described *now*, the
terrorists may not have been able to get into the USA.
