    Childlike and monosyllabic, so that his core MAGA base can follow along.

    How many ICBMs were used on 9/11? I was there, and I don't recall any missiles.

    And again, that is not what Trump was bing banging about. Try to stay on topic.

    Why didn't he do that last time? He hired sycophants and toadies with little to no experience.

    Regardless, Trump was soooooo not talking about a defensive "net" for torpedoes.

    Biden conducted ICBM interception tests early in the Russia Ukraine spout. But nothing we have is capable of destroying an ICBM with a supersonic vehicle attached. Something Russia has. I personally do think we need to become more defensive capable

    I think it's important, too, but Trump wouldn't know the difference, and he was not talking about defending us from torpedoes.

    Please stop your clearly antagonistic rants about what is and is not a missile. We all know what sort of missiles Trump meant. Even the MAGA contingent get that much.

    How many times had anyone attacked The United States with aircraft in that manner before 9/11?

    On 9/10/01, people would have said, "that'll never happen here", just like the OP is doing.

    Had foreign terrorists ever hijacked airliners and crashed them into buildings in The United States before 9/11?

    That statement is crazier than any Trump ever made. When the missiles start flying, it will be too late for our own Iron Dome.

    Did he say how much Ding-Ding-Whoosh would cost the taxpayer?

    Apparently more than any other military investment in US history, not to mention Canada and Mexico have never lobbed rockets into US

    This is telling: Even Fox ridiculed the idea.

    Here is an idea you may consider..... The invaders are here already... they are your neighbor... missiles will be the least of our problems..

    Could be. However, the rationale not to provide a missile defense until the missiles start flying is the wrong approach.

    You evaluate the odds as best you can and then try to determine whether it is a cost effective decision. This has to be done ahead of time.

    In this case, which is about Trump's childish speech, your annoying, nitpicking facts are meaningless, and seem to be intended to argue for the sake of rancor.

    When you're in a hole, stop digging ... unless you are just enjoying pissing people off. If that's your intention, I think you've had enough attention for one thread.

    Only December 7, 1941.

    And to my knowledge, not one single person ever said that a determined terrorist attack could never happen here. The only question, ever, was when and by what means. No bing bang boom missile defense system would have made a difference in that case.

    This was not a very good attempt at backpedalling on the "missiles on 9/11" claim.

    Where does he say "he is not going to provide a missile defense until the missiles start flying"
    So please show me where you have gotten such information to come to that conclusion..
    It is not in the OP video...

    I never made any claim about "missiles on 9/11".

    Why don't you just admit, "Trump said it, therefore I disagree, because he said it".

    If Biden,vote Obama said it, you'd be like, "Yeah! Hell yeah! Do it dammit!"...lol

    If you want to make Leftists do something, just let Trump suggest the opposite. If Trump said, "eating food everyday is a good thing". The Leftists would all starve to death...lol
