The last show he watched must have been Quantum Leap.

He would have found Bin Laden in utero and dealt with him then.

A more appropriate montage would picture the dozens of small businesses he drove into bankruptcy or folding because he screwed them on their invoices for goods and services provided in good faith.

And he would have shot John Wilkes Booth if were alive during the Lincoln presidency because he and ONLY he is able to prevent disasters that have and will occur that impact the US of A. Our Generals are worthless, our president is worthless, our secretary of states are murderers, our presidents are raptists and only Trump can prevent forest fires.

Hillaryā€™s Opponent. Masterful trolling by the President one day, when he refused to use HOā€™s name and kept referring to Hillaryā€™s or her opponent.

HO=Her opponent
President Obama doesnā€™t like to say Trumpā€™s name, so he often sayā€™s ā€œher opponentā€.

If Trump had made a single statement against the invasion of Iraq prior to or during the early stages, he would have been roundly criticized by the Bush admin surrogates and FuxNews. There would be a video and paper trail a mile long and yet nothing has surfaced to support what heā€™s claiming.

I still vividly recall how people were publicly demonized as being un-American for harboring and voicing such views!

He probably had no idea who he was until he heard all those Muslims chanting in Jersey.

This is from my limited experience, so take it with a grain of salt ā€“ most of the ā€œundecidedā€ are NeverTrump voters who arenā€™t sure about the rest of the field, including Hillary. Thatā€™s what I have observed around me.

FDR did know Pearl Harbor was coming. He spent the better part of two years goading them into it.

ā€œDonald Trump claimed that with him at the helm, Osama bin Laden wouldā€™ve been captured even before the Sept, 11, 2001 terror attacks.ā€

Am I to understand now that trump can foretell the future?? Heā€™d capture bin Laden?
Ho.ly Crap.
Trumpā€™s a regular ARMY OF ONE (remember those ads?)
Just elect him cuz dammit he can do ANYTHING.

I must say I am impressed that first trump is aware there is an Afghanistan and that there is an al Qaida. Second, if I had the chance Iā€™d ask Mr trump where Ayman al Zawahiri is right now. Off the record ya seeā€¦so Ayman doesnā€™t find out weā€™re onto where his house is in Quetta, Pakistan. Would trump then go in and arrest Mr Zawahiri even though he is a person being protected by the Pakistani Intelligence Service?
One wonders.

well, the bin Laden family has a lot of money so thereā€™s a strong chance that heā€™d heard of them and was trying to figure out how to get some of it for himself

Wait until he unveils his secret time machine plan where he travels back and murders baby Hitler in his crib! Itā€™s going to be huge, believe me. He canā€™t reveal too much about it now, though, because why tip off baby Hitler.
