Donald Trump Insists He 'Predicted' 9/11 Terrorist Attacks in Wild Statement Amid Iran Conflict: 'I Wrote It in a Book'

Trump referenced his 2000 book to claim he foresaw the 9/11 attacks, asserting prior knowledge to support his political statements during a March 2026 event.

  • Yesterday, Trump claimed he predicted Osama bin-Laden's rise, saying 'One year before exactly, I wrote it in a book.' posted by Aaron Rupar on X.
  • Trump has a history of asserting prior foresight, saying 'I knew the Strait would be a weapon', with previous public remarks about U.S. posture and allies forming a pattern of prediction.
  • A clip shared on X shows Mike Johnson, U.S. House Speaker, looking uncomfortable as Trump laughed, posted by Aaron Rupar. The footage captures the conference exchange.
  • In the exchange Trump said, 'He would be dead by June,' describing a private discussion about GOP Representative Neal Dunn, which critics called "incredibly bleak, shallow."
  • Sources said the lawmaker appeared revitalized at the conference, acting like he's 30 years younger after attending, which drew public attention.
