Opinion D.Trump says he warned US about Bin Laden to Pete Hegseth in 2024

[AmonTobin]

Trump speaking to US Navy of aircraft carrier USS George HW Bush on Oct.5, 2025:

“And please remember, I wrote about Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago. One year before he blew up the World Trade Center. And I said, ‘You’ve got to watch Osama bin Laden.’ And the fake news would never let me get away with that statement unless it was true. But I said one year before to Pete Hegseth, and I said one year before (?). In the book, I wrote – whatever the hell the title, I can’t tell you – but I can tell you there’s a page in there devoted to the fact that I saw somebody named Osama bin Laden, and I didn’t like it, and, ‘You gotta take care of him.’ They didn’t do it; a year later he blew up the World Trade Center. So, you gotta take a little credit, because nobody else is gonna give it to me.”

Rambling nonsense

Dementia Trump

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I'm not even gonna crack jokes here. This is bad. You cannot have the CoC be an unhealthy person suffering from dementia. We did this with Biden and it was a fucking nightmare. He should have been taken out of office. And not Trump is no different. He is noticeably degrading in real time. We need to have standards for the presidency because this is ridiculous

 

[Blayt7hh]

I don’t even know if Trump is confused or not. I think he’s just so comfortable telling absurd lies at this point and his supporters rabidly defending it that he just kind of freestyles nonsense when he gets to the mic.

 

[VinceArch]

What a dipshit lol.

 

[Natural Order]

He's close to Biden end of life shenanigans himself.

25th this clown, for the sake of everything holy.

 

[milliniar]

Donald Trump told a college student to watch out for Osama.

Trump seeing different timelines is confused for cognitive decline.

This is what he actually wrote about Bin Laden in his book in 2000:

“Instead of one looming crisis hanging over us, we face a bewildering series of smaller crises, flash points, standoffs, and hot spots. We’re not playing the chess game to end all chess games anymore. We’re playing tournament chess – one master against many rivals. One day we’re all assured that Iraq is under control, the UN inspectors have done their work, everything’s fine, not to worry. The next day the bombing begins. One day we’re told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin-Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jetfighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later it’s on to a new enemy and new crisis.”

Please Trump supporters, defend this.
Let me guess, «If it makes liberals angry I support it», like that one honest but utterly hopeless poster often says.

 

[Pittie Petey]

And then on 9-11 he went on television and bragged that he now owned the tallest building in New York

Win win

LOL, it's pretty close to what he was claiming

So.... Four or five years after the first time he declared holy war on the United States. Also, after the embassy bombings and Bin Laden being on the Top Ten most wanted list... Trump said he's a bad guy

Congrats

That was point of my joke. He tried claiming to navy crowd he'd put people onto Bin Laden and to look into him.....lol.

I was more responding to it than you. I couldn't contain my disbelief and then disappointment when I realized the drones in here will try to explain it away.

Also, I just now realized that I quoted your post and didn't mean to.

You really can't explain this one away on any level.

Any of the hard-hitting (R) bros in here that were frothing about Dementia Joe should be hot on the mic shortly for consistency...

Dementia is only acceptable when it's MY GRANDFATHER!!
