Trump Says Privately a Terror Attack

“In private conversations,” said the Post, “Trump has told advisers that he doesn’t think the 2018 election has to be as bad as others are predicting. He has referenced the 2002 midterms, when George W. Bush and Republicans fared better after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, these people said.”

unclear if this is a pro-trump leak (wanting to incite a terrorist attack) or an anti-trump leak (omg how could he even think such a thing).

Trump says privately that a terror attack could save him and GOP from 2018 election bloodbath: report

Faced with the likelihood of a “blue tsunami” in the 2018 midterm elections, President Donald Trump is holding out hope that terrorists will attack the country, reported the Washington Post on Wednesday.

“In private conversations,” said the Post, “Trump has told advisers that he doesn’t think the 2018 election has to be as bad as others are predicting. He has referenced the 2002 midterms, when George W. Bush and Republicans fared better after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, these people said.”

Anything's possible with Commander Cuckoo-Bananas in charge. What will it be? North Korea? Iran? Firefighter arson?

To even suggest such a scenario to get Trump out of the "shithole" position he has put the Republican Party in. Let alone politicize such a thought.

Can this man he any more disgusting?

Now, thousands of innocent Americans might die in a Trumped-up false flag terror attack.


K&R, thanks for posting
