    "Here's the deal folks, we did 9/11! Well not we. Bush did 9/11. I didn't have anything to do with it. I was against it. If I was in office there'd be no 9/11, I'll tell you that. I thought it was pretty bad, what they did to our beautiful country, what Bush and the Democrats like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi did. I wouldn't do that, I own New York real estate. My property value went down! WAY DOWN! I'd never do a 9/11."

      Thought it was already pretty common knowledge that the Bush admin supposedly just outright ignored evidence of an imminent attack. Whether that's genuine or just standard cover your ass is a different story (I still believe it was genuine knowledge that was ignored so that consent for massive wars could be manufactured).

      That said, Trump outright spewing this would be hilarious.

        It's definitely common knowledge in leftist spaces. I'd be surprised if the average american believes the US was complicit.
