Trump says Osama bin Laden wasn't a very big deal: 'He only had one hit!'
August 26, 2021
It's mere weeks before the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center that killed thousands and has slowly killed rescue and first responders who worked on the pile in the aftermath.
Despite this, former President Donald Trump apparently doesn't think that the mastermind behind the attacks was really that big of a deal.
Speaking to Hugh Hewitt on Thursday, Trump explained that the terrorists he killed were much bigger, implying that he was a stronger president than former President Barack Obama, who gave the order to kill Osama bin Laden.
"And they respected us, and they respected me," said Trump of the Taliban. "But they respected us, and don't think that the Taliban wasn't watching, because ISIS is tougher than the Taliban and nastier than the Taliban. And ISIS was watching, and they were — they didn't exist anymore. And we took out the founder of ISIS, al-Baghdadi, and then of course Soleimani. Now just so you understand, Soleimani is bigger by many, many times than Osama bin Laden. The founder of ISIS is a bigger, by many, many times, al-Baghdadi than Osama bin Laden. Osama bin Laden had one hit, and it was a bad one, in New York City, the World Trade Center."
Trump went on to say that the two terrorists he took out were "monsters" and complained that the media didn't give him the credit like they gave Obama for taking out bin Laden.
This is a fallacy, Afghanistan was ignored by Bush and later Trump - Obama paid attention and things did improve, there was no need to throw it all away to give a speech or for a slogan.
I don't care for Biden but he is 100 times better than the orange bozo who said stupid shit and did stupid shit everyday.
The Swamp Fights Back
Never before in the history of the presidency had a commander-in-chief earned the antipathy of so many -- and lived to tell the tale.
Trump was warned by friends, enemies, and neutrals that his fight against the deep state was suicidal. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, just a few days before Trump’s inauguration, cheerfully forecast (in a precursor to Samantha Power’s later admonition) what might happen to Trump once he attacked the intelligence services: “Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”
Trump Battles the 'Deep State,' and the Swamp Strikes Back | National Review
Former administrative-state careerists were not shy about warning Trump of what was ahead. The counterterrorism analyst Phil Mudd, who had worked in the CIA and the FBI under Robert Mueller, warned CNN host Jake Tapper in August 2017 that “the government is going to kill” President Donald Trump. Kill? And what was the reason the melodramatic Mudd adduced for his astounding prediction? “Because he doesn’t support them.” Mudd then elaborated: “Let me give you one bottom line as a former government official. The government is going to kill this guy. The government is going to kill this guy because he doesn’t support them.” Mudd further clarified his assassination metaphor: “What I’m saying is government — people talk about the deep state — when you disrespect government officials who’ve done 30 years, they’re going to say, ‘Really?’”
It was difficult to ascertain to what degree Mudd was serious or exaggerating the depth of deep-state loathing of Trump.
A writer for the London Review of Books, Adam Schatz, seemed even more direct. He reported a supposed conversation that he had with an American political scientist knowledgeable of the Washington permanent caste. He purportedly had assured Schatz that if Trump were elected, he would likely not survive his full term: “He will have to be removed from power by the deep state, or be assassinated.”

Youre too dumb to even know when you’re being insulted.
Go ask anyone American in Afghanistan if they wish Trump was in office right now.
It's true there are behind the scenes non elected players dictating govt policy . Just like this ex Goldman , BP , UN etc player . Peter Sutherland, dubbed father of globalisation, dies | Financial Times (ft.com)
How much did it improve that it wasn't able to hold for a month? Cons ignore, Dems don't care for it politically, these aren't pro-democracy S. Korean separatists we're dealing with. It would take 100 yrs of occupation.
Remember, they framed General Michael Flynn and got him to perjure himself. He did not have advise of counsel but, the deep state managed to frighten him to capitulate. President Donald Trump, they tried to impeach him twice. Intelligence services obstructed and defied his lawful orders and smeared him on extreme liberal media. Would not be surprised if they had a hand in the massive election fraud of November 3, 2020. They wanted President Donald Trump out at all costs.
