Over A Year Before 9/11, Trump Wrote Of Terror Threat With Remarkable
Clarity
Andrew Kaczynski
BuzzFeed News Reporter
In 2000, 19 months before Sept. 11, 2001, Donald Trump wrote extensively of
the terrorism threat the United States was facing.
Trump, who at the time was considering a presidential bid on the Reform
Party ticket, went so far as to say that an attack on a major U.S. city was
not just a probability, but an inevitability.
“I really am convinced we’re in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks
that will make the bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with
firecrackers,” wrote Trump in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve. “No
sensible analyst rejects this possibility, and plenty of them, like me, are
not wondering if but when it will happen.”
Trump even mentions Osama bin Laden by name, in a criticism of an American
foreign policy that too quickly jumps from one crisis to the next.
“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,” The Donald wrote. “He escapes back under some
rock, and a few news cycles later it’s on to a new enemy and new crisis.”
Trump started a full-on war with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Friday,
when he suggested Bush’s older brother and former President George W. Bush
is to blame for the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Jeb Bush took to Twitter to defend his brother, calling Trump’s attack “
pathetic,” and told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday that Trump talks about
foreign policy like he’s still on his reality show, The Apprentice.
Four years before The Apprentice ever aired, Trump devoted an entire section
of his book to keeping America safe from terrorism, arguing our ignorance
of the threats we faced from terrorism was the biggest threat to national
security.
“I may be making waves, but that’s all right,” wrote Trump. “Making
waves is usually what you need to do to rock the boat, and our national-
security boat definitely needs rocking. Let’s point fingers. The biggest
threat to our security is ourselves, because we’ve become arrogant.
Dangerously arrogant. It’s time for a realistic view of the world and our
place in it. Do we truly understand the threats we face? And let me give a
warning: You won’t hear a lot of what follows from candidates in this
campaign, because what I’ve got to say is definitely not happy talk. There
are forces to be worried about, people and programs to take action against.
Now.”
“We face a different problem when we talk about the individual fanatics who
want to harm us,” The Donald continued, discussing the threat from
individual terrorist organizations that despised American culture.
Trump said such people were determined to attack us.
“We can kid ourselves all we want by mocking their references to the Great
Satan, but also keep in mind that there is no greater destiny for many
people than to deal the Great Satan a major kick in the teeth,” he wrote,
adding they despised the U.S. support for Israel.
“Our teenage boys fantasize about Cindy Crawford; young terrorists
fantasize about turning an American city (and themselves) into charcoal,”
Trump wrote.
Trump predicted a major attack on an American city that would involved
weapons of mass destruction, writing, “Yet it’s time to get down to the
hard business of preparing for what I believe is the real possibility that
somewhere, sometime, a weapon of mass destruction will be carried into a
major American city and detonated.”
Trump added that even if the U.S. mobilized, the country probably wouldn’t
be able to stop most attacks. Trump said many people would willingly sign up
for a suicide mission in America, and that the many U.S. military
incursions create more terrorists who want to harm us.
“Whatever their motives — fanaticism, revenge — suffice it to say that
plenty of people would stand in line for a crack at a suicide mission within
America,” Trump wrote. “In fact the number of potential attackers grows
every day. Our various military adventures — some of which are justified,
some not — create new legions of people who would like to avenge the deaths
of family members or fellow citizens.
“It is one cost of peacekeeping we should keep in mind. I am not a hard-
core isolationist. While I agree that we stick our noses into too many
problems not of our making and that we can’t do much about, I strongly
disagree with the idea that we can pull up the drawbridge to hide from rogue
nations or individual fanatics.”
