Here’s a question for you: Could the attacks of September 11, 2001 have been prevented? Is there anything we could have done that might have kept those men from hijacking jets and crashing them into buildings? And the answer is yes, it’s very likely that had we been better prepared, we could have indeed made a difference.
Now consider the fact that Donald Trump doesn’t even bother to take the time for his daily intelligence briefing. What if there’s something he needs to know that gets overlooked?
Michael Moore says Trump’s lack of preparation could wind up leading to another catastrophic terror attack. On Facebook, the Oscar-winning filmmaker wrote:
“When the next terrorist attack happens — and it will happen, we all know that — and after the tragedy is over, amidst the death and destruction that might have been prevented, you will see Donald Trump acting quickly to blame everyone but himself. He will suspend constitutional rights. He will round up anyone he deems a threat. He will declare war, and his Republican Congress will back him.”
Moore then compared Trump to George W. Bush, on whose watch 9/11 took place:
“We had a president like him before. He, too, lost the popular vote, a majority of Americans saying they didn’t want him in the Oval Office. On August 6, 2001, he was on a month-long vacation at his ranch in Texas. That morning, the White House Counsel handed him his daily national security briefing. He glanced at it, set it aside and then went fishing for the rest of the day. Below is the photo of that moment which I showed the world in “Fahrenheit 9/11″. The headline on the security briefing reads: BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE INSIDE U.S. On the top page it tells how bin Laden will do this: with planes. George W. Bush didn’t leave the ranch to go back to work for the next four weeks. In the fifth week, bin Laden attacked the US with planes on September 11th.”
What needs to change? Well, Trump needs to inform himself, Moore urges:
“It’s one thing to have a president who was asleep at the wheel. But, my friends, it’s a whole other thing to now have a president-elect who REFUSES TO EVEN GET BEHIND THE WHEEL! This utter neglect of duty, a daily snub at the people who work to protect us, the first Commander-in-Chief to literally be AWOL and announcing proudly he isn’t going to change — this, I assure you, is going to get a lot of innocent people killed.”
Donald Trump threatens the security of this country in more ways than can possibly be calculated. This will not end happily for our country.
