Current Events > Trump promotes claim that 9/11 attackers were treated better than him

(+) Yeah! (+)

Donald Trump has promoted a strange claim that the House of Representatives gave him less due process during the impeachment inquiry than the 9/11 attackers received.

The US president embellished the quote from Fox News Mark Levin to also assert this is a corrupt process and added a false reaction from Republican senator Doug Collins, claiming he replied: Very much so!

Mr Collins did nod to indicate his agreement, however his raised eyebrows suggested some shock at Mr Levins comparing the president to those responsible for the most infamous terror attack in American history.

Mr Trump is currently on trial in the senate, accused of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He is the third US president to be impeached.

I dont believe this is ever happened before in American history, Mr Levin claimed. The president is denied due process. Im not talking about the Bill of Rights, Im talking about the due process past presidents have had basic Magna Carta-type due process that people are supposed to get.

The president gets less due process than the terrorists on 9/11 get. They get habeas corpus rights and all these other the president gets no rights, no consideration. The Republicans, no rights. You just told me you couldnt call a single witness.

All of the 19 terrorists aboard planes died during the 9/11 attacks. Several others involved in planning the terror strike are serving life sentences or potentially facing the death penalty, with some suspects having been subjected to torture at Guantanamo Bay and CIA black sites. Several were detained for years without being formally charged.

While Mr Trump and Republicans have not been able to call witnesses during the impeachment inquiry, they were able to cross-examine the witnesses that were called.

The White House has also been able to block any of the documents and witnesses requested by Democrats, with Mr Trump notably saying he would use executive privilege to block former national security adviser John Boltons testimony.

It is not the first strange claim Mr Trump has made about 9/11.

The president has previously boasted that his building was the tallest in downtown Manhattan after the World Trade Centre was destroyed. He also claimed to have been a first responder despite also purporting to have seen thousands of Muslims celebrating the attack in New Jersey.

On Sunday, loyal Trump defender Lindsey Graham claimed Mr Trumps biggest concern about the impeachment trial was that it posed a threat to the sanctity of the presidency.

He thinks its a threat to the presidency, Mr Graham told Fox News. The one thing he talks to me constantly about is what does the next president do after this, if it is successful? He does not want to legitimise attack[s] on the presidency.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump was addressing the American Farm Bureau in Austin on Sunday, where he continued to rage against impeachment proceedings.

Were achieving what no administration has ever achieved before, Mr Trump claimed. And what do I get for it? I get impeached by these radical left lunatics.

The 9-11 terrorists exploded into a building.

They were part of a group called Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden directed the attacks. The attacks were orchestrated by an entire group of individuals. Not all of them were killed when the planes crashed.

Our President, ladies and gentlemen.

He regularly says he's the worst treated person in the world

---

And you people think Democrats are a disgrace to America....

I slightly respect his ability to make everything about himself.

Actually, no I don't.

Trump is getting a trial. Bin Laden was shot through the eye. I'd say Trump is getting treated better.

Didn't he already say he got less due process than witches during the Salem Witch trials?

allow me to clarify: I'm not agreeing with the comparison, but merely pointing out trials did exist with regards to the 9/11 attacks.

Ah yes our best friends and masters

Both are terrorists. But no on that claim. The middle and south of the country is sucking his dick happily.

Not surprised he and his due hard supporters think he is the most persecuted man in history. That is only slightly hyperbolic as I have seen some of them claim he treated worse then Jesus was.

And apparently we have a 13 year old in the White House.

I bet Trump would be one of those people to say that someone is "more evil than HItler" when they don't agree with them.

---

Remember when Trump paid money to demand the Central Park 5's execution based on nothing but the word of the police?

---

I don't think habeas corpus is what this guy thinks it is.

---

Trump had to hide for years while being hunted by the US army?

---

Remember when some of the House Republicans said he was being treated worse than Jesus before the impeachment vote?

You just can't make up how incredibly fucking stupid the entirety of the GOP is

---

What a whiny little bitch.
