Does Chumpy want another 9/11 type attack?

This proposed end of passenger screening at some airports makes me wonder. After all, Chumpy saw how bush, the stupid, rose in polls and got reelected after the attack. And, an attack will happen if this change goes through. Terrorists, whether international or domestic, would know exactly where the vulnerable airports are. Hoping Congress, such as it is, will stop the maniac from putting our country in jeopardy.

We'll have a large scale attack for sure. Makes me wonder. All Trump would have to do is, like Bush, stand on some rubble and say that he's gonna get those guys. When I first heard about the 9/11 attacks, I thought it would make Bush look bad because it happened on his watch. It's a good thing I don't gamble.

Takes months to prepare any serious ground move.

I doubt that the penagon will be working overtime to make any other type of move.

His whims are not going to become instantly gratified.

I was referring to the TSA proposal to end passenger screening at smaller airports. That could be done long before November, unless Congress intervenes.

He would get a bump in the polls but not get the big bump other presidents have gotten if there was an attack.
