Original Times interview quote:
Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
He needs another 9/11 to justify more authoritarianism without pushback.
I’m pretty sure they let 9/11 happen too. Bush administration did a good job of sweeping it under the rug. This country in general has perfected the art of playing victim by metaphorically poking the neighbor’s dog with a stick so it can point to the dog bite when the cops show up to a dead dog and a pissed off neighbor.
Isreal does it pretty well too apparently.
Oh yeah. Just like Pearl Harbor. Just need an excuse to get people behind a war.
