Senator Lindsey Graham appears clueless as Trump claims to have ‘predicted’ the World Trade Center tragedy

Donald Trump is known for making absurd claims about his achievements all the time, and people, by now, have gotten used to it. But sometimes his claims are so far-fetched that even the most intelligent people in the world scratch their heads in disbelief.

Donald Trump is trying to take over the world with one mindless claim after another, and it isn’t even funny anymore. What, however, is funny is that even the people he considers his closest allies and friends are now refusing to engage with his lies and are showing blatant opposition, powerful enough to make Trump feel embarrassed. Recently, a video featuring United States President Donald Trump is going viral online on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), where he can be seen claiming, while aboard Air Force One, that he had previously “predicted” the World Trade Center attacks and that Osama Bin Laden would be a problem for the United States ahead of the incident. Mentioning that he wrote in his book that America should go after Bin Laden, Trump said that if they had listened to him, the crisis, namely the 9/11 attacks, could have been averted. He also asked Senator Lindsey Graham, who was also present on the plane, to confirm if he had heard Trump’s prediction about Osama Bin Laden, to which he replied in the negative and said, “I learn something every day.” Upon further prodding, he clarified his knowledge on the matter and reiterated that he did not know about Trump’s involvement in the matter and that he only learnt about it from him at the moment. The moment has piqued the interest of internet users, who are poking fun at the incident, as Graham seems completely done with Trump’s shenanigans, especially his bizarre claims.

This isn’t the first time he has made such a statement. If you search online, you will find multiple instances where Trump has made similar claims regarding the incident. He even stated that a year before the 9/11 attacks, he had warned the current United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth about Osama Bin Laden, even though Hegseth was likely very young at that time, possibly in college, and there is no evidence that Trump and Hegseth knew each other back then.

The lengths this individual has gone to in recent times to support a lie are truly astonishing. I would say he does justice to the negative reputation that politicians have built over the years. Good or bad, I must give him credit where it’s due. He does a commendable job at being a bad politician and a poor president.
