US President Donald Trump has made a bold claim, stating he predicted the 9/11 attacks 26 years ago. However, a closer look at his 2000 book 'The America We Deserve' reveals a different story.
The book does mention Osama bin Laden and the World Trade Center, but the prediction Trump claims he made is an extrapolation, not a direct forecast.
Trump has been making this claim for years, but the facts don't quite add up. He wrote the book a year and a half before the 9/11 attacks, and it only mentioned bin Laden as one of many threats to US security.
Trump's 2018 tweet claimed he pointed out Laden in his book 'just before' the attack, but the book actually only mentioned Laden as a threat, without making any specific predictions.
Trump's claim has been fact-checked by news agency AP, which found that the book did not contain any specific predictions about the 9/11 attacks.
Trump's repeated claims have been met with skepticism, and it's clear that the facts don't support his assertion that he predicted the 9/11 attacks.
