Trump claims his policies would have prevented 9/11
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his policies would have prevented the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
"Those people that knocked down the World Trade Center most likely, under the Trump policy, wouldn't have been here to knock down the World Trade Center," the billionaire businessman said, referring to his proposed "Muslim Ban." The 2016 candidate has said if elected president he intends to block Muslims from immigrating to the United States.
Trump just claimed 9/11 "most likely" wouldn't have happened because "those people" wouldn't have been here "under the Trump policy.
