US President Donald Trump on October 5, claimed that he warned everyone about Osama Bin Laden being a threat to everyone one year before the 9/11 attacks. Trump while taking the stage before a gathering of Navy personnel in Norfolk, Virginia during the Navy's 250th anniversary celebrations said that he wrote about the Al-Qaeda leader in one of his books,
"And history will never forget that it was the SEALs who stormed the compound at Osama Bin Laden and put a bullet in his head, remember that?"
Donald Trump claimed that he had written about Bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks,
"And please remember I wrote about Osama Bin Laden exactly one year...before he blew up the World Trade Center. And I said, 'You gotta watch Osama bin Laden.' And the fake news would never let me get away with that statement unless it was true. But I said, 'One year before' to Pete Hegseth. I said, 'One year before,' "
As per CNN, Trump had published a book in January 2000 titled The America We Deserve in which he had mentioned Osama.
"So we're gonna take a little credit" - says Donald Trump about warning about Osama Bin Laden
While addressing Navy personnel on October 5, Donald Trump took credit for warning people about Osama Bin Laden, a year before the 9/11 attack,
"But in the book, whatever the hell the title, I can't tell ya, but I can tell you there's a page in there devoted to the fact that I saw somebody named Osama Bin Laden and I didn't like it and you have to take care of him. They didn't do it. A year later, he blew up the World Trade Center. So, we're gonna take a little credit... You know the old story, if they don't give you credit, just take it yourself."
In 2019, Trump, whille announcing the execution of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, spoke for over eight minutes, with additional 40 minutes where he took questions from reporters. While describing the terrorist, Trump said,
"The thug who tried so hard to intimidate others spent his last months in utter fear, in total panic and dread, terrified of the American forces bearing down on him."
A year later in 2020, Donald Trump touted a conspiracy theory by retweeting a post from an account linked to QAnon which alleged that Osama was still alive and the man killed in the Navy Seal raid was a body double.
