Trump Falsely Claims 9/11 Prediction Amidst Other Controversies
President Donald Trump reiterated his unsubstantiated claim that he predicted the 9/11 terror attacks a year before they occurred, stating he wrote about Osama bin Laden in a book. However, fact checks of his 2000 book reveal only a single, non-specific mention of Bin Laden, and no explicit warning or call to action regarding an impending attack. This recurring false assertion was made again as questions arise about the Trump administration’s assessment of Iran’s potential retaliation, with the president also claiming to have foreseen the Strait of Hormuz becoming a “weapon.”
