Trump says 9/11 would not have happened if he'd been President because his immigration policy would

have stopped Muslim hijackers coming to the US

Ok, I know it's the Daily Mail, but this is just too funny. The guy is a legend in his own mind. And he claims that Hillary is the founder of ISIS!

"Donald Trump has claimed his policy platform could have prevented the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States because his immigration plan would have stopped Muslim hijackers from entering the country.

The Republican candidate also reportedly claimed Hillary Clinton was the 'founder of ISIS' during his speech to a party event in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Wednesday.

In of his most controversial comments to date, Mr Trump had pledged to ban all Muslims - 1.6 billion people worldwide - from entering the US.

'Those people that knocked down the World Trade Center most likely, under the Trump policy, wouldn't have been here to knock down the World Trade Center,' Mr Trump said."

Would he have sent the hijackers back to their home countries before they were able to attack the country? As far as I know most of the hijackers were individuals who had overstayed their visas. That means they were in the United States before January 2001. Which means even if Donald Trump had been elected President and on his first day in office he enacted his ban on all Muslims the hijackers would not have been prevented from coming into the United States.
