Two Weeks Before Sept. 11, Trump Suggests That Osama Bin Laden Wasn’t a ‘Monster’

Imagine a man so insecure that he had to call into a radio show to brag that he was the one who actually took out the world’s worst terr0rists, not the person before him. Imagine what it must be like to live in that head, where you are never satisfied until you’re convinced that only you deserve high praise.

That’s Donald Trump. And Donald Trump is the only human being on earth who would diminish Bin Laden in order to pump himself up. You see, he had to do better than the black guy.

Read the obviousness insecurity. From the Daily Beast:

Calling into conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt’s show on Thursday morning, Trump doubled down on his recent claims that the Taliban wouldn’t have quickly taken over Afghanistan following American troop withdrawal if he were still in charge. (Trump negotiated the original peace deal with the Taliban in February 2020, which included a May 1 withdrawal date and the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners.)

“And we took out the founder of ISIS, al-Baghdadi, and then of course Soleimani,” Trump blared. “Now just so you understand, Soleimani is bigger by many, many times than Osama bin Laden. The founder of ISIS is bigger by many, many times, al-Baghdadi, than Osama bin Laden.”

Why can’t both be big? Why can’t they both be extremely dangerous? Why does this one man feel so insecure that he must “best” the black guy before him? (Part of the key is in that last sentence.)

Trump added: “Osama bin Laden had one hit, and it was a bad one, in New York City, the World Trade Center. But these other two guys were monsters. They were monsters. 

He also hit the Pentagon, but since that’s not in New York, it doesn’t count. He also had another plane going God only knows where but was brought down by brave civilians. But to Trump, Bin Laden was a one-hit wonder. Except he wasn’t, not even the three on September 11th, which shows how little Trump actually knew as president.

Despite Trump essentially calling bin Laden a one-hit wonder, Trump managed to forget (or likely never knew, nor bothered to learn) that even prior to September 11th, 2001, Bin Laden was already the FBI’s most wanted man (and the most wanted man in the rest of the western world) the terr0r mastermind also carried out the U.S. Embassy b*mbings in 1998 and the deadly USS Cole att*ck in 2000 which resulted in hundreds of casualties.

Just try to imagine what it’s like walking around with a mind that insecure.
