If Trrump had been in charge, the terrorists never would have dared.

The next day he would be starting construction of the Twin Trump Towers.

This. There is a memorial there now, but if Trump had been president, it would have been completed a lot faster. And he would have put it somewhere else so that he could construct the Twin Trump Towers in the same place the twin towers fell.

Heads would have rolled. Nobody would have been able to hide behind the vial of patriotism. Nobody would be able to mindlessly regurgitate the terror narrative (terrative), touting themselves as 'heros'- defenders of the constitution and the American people.
"You were sleeping on the job, you loser. Problem is, America lost because of your snooze. You are such a loser that you changed history."
Words cannot depict how far those heads would roll.

He would condem the attacks while secretly finding a while to profit from it

I'm surprised that no one posted these links:

Both are links to slightly different edits of an interview that Trump gave shortly after 9/11. Couldn't watch very much - I suffer from a rare form of narcolepsy called "Trumpborestheshitoutofme"
Don't worry, there is an experimental cure that could work - "Turnthechannelandwatchsomethingelse"

Taken over far Eastern Saudi Arabia where the Ghawar Oil Field is (largest oil field in the world.) He then would have put a tactical nuke pointed at Mecca and said you bother us Mecca is gone without a trace.
USA gets TRILLIONS a year in what used to be Saudi Oil money. See Trump had not already been bought off by Saudi like Bush. He would not have his the 28 pages of the report showing Saudi not onyl had all the kidnappers, Saudi also had all the money behind the attacks.
TRUMP thinks like business and he would use our army to make us rich like fuckin captain Blackbeard. Those would be our wells pumping in Saudi - and as long as they didn't step out - they get to keep their "Mecca and their Hajj."
USA debt would be ZERO at the end of his last term AMERICANS would beg for a third like he was FDR on steroids.
(okay slightly sarcastic but it was fun! "Lets have fun with nukes and Trump "- I got dibs on the coloring books when he wins!!!!)

Well, gee, I don't know about that downVoat. Silly person. These are mostly so-called mainstream links. And they do a pretty good job to refute the above comment saying "I doubt any country could have prevented it at the time." :D

He would have declared the U.S. bankrupt, start a new nation, and claim that he built the new one all by himself.
