Donald Trump On New York Bombing: ‘I Called It Before The News’

"SNIP..............



Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump patted himself on the back Monday morning for calling the weekend attack in Manhattan a “bombing” before officials did.

“What I said was exactly correct,” Trump boasted in an interview on “Fox and Friends.” “I should be a newscaster because I called it before the news.”

At a rally in Colorado Springs on Saturday, Trump had informed the crowd that a bomb had just gone off in New York City, even though police had not yet said exactly what happened. The explosion in the Chelsea neighborhood injured 29 people, and a second explosive device was found nearby.

“Just before I got off the plane, a bomb went off in New York, and nobody knows exactly what’s going on, but, boy, we are really in a time. We better get very tough, folks,” Trump told rallygoers.

IOW, it only proves he's unreliable and doesn't have the patience to wait, listen, and learn.

Donald Trump is awesome! He knows things before anyone else does! And he's always right!

Nobody-- not the police, the government nor the media-- knew anything about what happened but our Donald figured it all out! He should be a newscaster! After all, from 2,000 miles away, he knew exactly what had happened even before the people at the site of the explosion did!

We need such a smart man as our leader! He's a business genius and he's tough as nails!

Donald Trump is an idiot.

I think I ran out of words for him about six months ago. There just aren't enough words in the English language horrifying enough to describe this POS...

He is a deplorable human being. Sickening, congratulation himself (for what???) when people are injured and dying.

And we can just ignore the fact that Trump has closer ties to terrorists than this guy does.

I and I alone can fix this. So this is just one more reason to elect him. He is clairvoyant and even at a distance knows more than the police, more than explosive experts, CIA, FBI, more than ANYBODY else what happened and how to make sure this never happens again. Given that, how can we not all fall in line and vote Trump??

Just when I think his ego knows no boundary, he proves me wrong. I told my husband tRump must have his pants tailor made to accommodate his gigantic, brass balls......
