(9,350 posts)That is the comment of the day. Yes, if Osama Bin Laden had been willing to say nice things about Donald Trump, Trump might not have ordered American soldiers to take him out. You never know, Trump might have even said he believed Bin Laden when he denied having anything to do with the 9/11 attacks because he (Donald Trump) did not see how it would have been in Bin Laden's best interest to participate in an attack on the United States.

(3,665 posts)Bin Laden made those tapes at the most opportune times to help Bush get reelected. I always thought it was a favor for Bush not having him killed. I'm sure Dotard would have done the same.

(53,759 posts)I suspect that's trump trying to cook up some accomplishment for the 2020 election since he's bombed twice in Korea and has nothing at all to brag about on foreign policy.
Plus he's always trying to out do Obama, especially since he didn't get a Nobel Prize.

(8,920 posts)He will lie about having great accomplishments in trade, taxes, he will "have the best" foreign policy, job creation, constructing his wall and how Mexico is already "paying for it through trade deals", and all the regulations he has cut.

(1,900 posts)has merit? My interpretation of the OP was that if Bin Laden was still alive Trump would likely think he was a great leader like he thinks Kim is. Anyone else see it that way?
But I don't think Trump would have had the stomach for the thought decisions that President Obama had to make in that situation.

(25,453 posts)I think the person you are responding to misread it. That's the only explanation.
TwilightZone
(25,453 posts)The intent couldn't be clearer. Trump takes people like Putin and Kim Jong-un at their word.
The comment is clearly saying that it's a good thing bin Laden is dead or Trump would be doing the same with him. Hyperbolic, perhaps, but the point is obvious.
Your interpretation makes absolutely no sense.

(83,710 posts)Trump has taken Putin at his word that he did not meddle in our elections. He took Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at his word that the bone saw that was brought to a meeting with Saudi columnist Jamal Khashoggi was nothing. Kimmie, well they fell in love, so he takes him at his word that he knew nothing about the young American that was tortured in his prison and died after coming home.
Trump takes the word of every murderous dictator/terrorist before his own intelligence committee. He honors them and not America.
Point of my OP is he would have done the same thing with Bin Laden. He loves dictators and terrorists.
Frankly I am shocked that you so misread my OP. The gif of Obama was after Bin Laden died and fact is that America did in fact cheer his passing. He had almost 3K Americans murdered. I remember that day like yesterday. I was in shock that day as every other American was.

(83,710 posts)I was in the car that morning driving to work. The station I was listening to went crazy. It was Kiss108. I thought they were joking. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Then people yelling and saying OMG! I had just entered the highway and met a sea of cars, it never was like this at that hour. I flipped stations trying to make sense of what I was hearing. I looked at the cars around me and everyone was on their phone. This was years before I got my first cell phone. I felt so alone. It took me two hours to make a 45 minute drive.
sigh. cry.

(31,963 posts)What do we do with KIm? North Korea? People are trying to make this about Trump and totally ignoring the problem of N. Korea. A problem that the last 3 presidents have been unable to solve. Trump will make the 4th.

(42,750 posts)The two things Trump admires most. OBL would have been his good buddy. Although the friendship would not have been reciprocated owing to the fact that Trump is a western infidel.

(42,287 posts)Dotard would have invited him to the White House.
"I asked him about 9/11 and he strongly said he had nothing to do with it. I have to take hI'm at his word. He's a good man. He cares about his people."
