At the end of January 2024, the media and social networks reported that the ex-president of the United States allegedly announced the involvement of the American authorities to attack the twin tower in New York. We checked whether such a politician said.
September 11, 2001 several groups of terrorists captured Four passenger liners, two of which rammed skyscrapers of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York. Fresh publications states that during a meeting with voters Donald Trump, who claims to participate in the future elections of the US President, accused In this terrorist attack, which has taken away the lives of almost 3,000 people, the American administration. The authors of Telegram channels bring Quotes of the policy that during the presidency he “closed his mouth” and that the attacks ”From the outside"," As we were shown to us, "was not there, and the attack itself dragged America into the war in the Middle East, during which" millions of people "were killed. At the same time, the phrase “attack on September 11 is the work of the United States” many authors form differently: somewhere it acts as a heading (In quotation marks or without), somewhere-as a separate quote or The beginning of speech Trump. Some bloggers are so Commented The alleged statement of the politician: "And how many years we were convinced that all these are the theories of the conspiracy ... or Trump is also a theorist of conspiracies?"

On the air of the radio "Komsomolskaya Truth»Political scientist Kirill Koktysh suggested that the US guilt in the 2001 terrorist attack (the site is erroneously specified 2021) is a cunning move guaranteeing Trump security in the election race. Similar materials are published on the newspaper sites "Moscow Komsomolets"And TV channel"Moscow 24". Also, Trump's statement was told in social networks of the Construction TV channel ("VKontakte","Classmates","Zen" And Telegram), on the websites of the television channel "Belarus 1" Eadaily, "Tatar-inform" And "Morning South", In public in VKontakte (examples here, here And here) and on "Picabu".
Most of the publications mentioned above provide a video of Trump's performances, which, according to the inscriptions in the frame, took place in the city of Laconia, New Hampshire. January 22 there actually took place Politician Event. The viral video lasts 1 min. 12 sec., On the recording Trump speaks:
We wanted to prevent the appearance of terror in our country. But I could not talk about it, because I did not want to do this, otherwise something would happen the next day. So for four years I kept my mouth on the castle on this specific topic, but now I am talking about it constantly. We did not have any [terrorist] attacks. We did not have a worldwide shopping center. We did not have such terrorist attacks that you saw and, of course, see in other countries. And by the way, now we are again involved in events in the Middle East. Look what is happening. You get involved, and here we are again in the Middle East. We spent $ 9 trillion, killed millions of people, both ours and on their part - millions of people and $ 9 trillion! And what did we get? Nothing, just nothing. You received death, blood and nothing more. As they say, we just spent our blood and our treasure - our blood and treasure. And our blood is more important than our treasure, and this is a shame. Just a shame. (A cry from the hall about ISIS*.) I won ISIS, you're right. Thank you for telling me that. You are right. (Laughs.) I just went to this, but he is very good! He is very smart, thanks! (Laughs.) Yes, we defeated ISIS to hell. It was assumed that this would take from four to five years. We coped with this for, I would say four months. Four months! 100% Caliphate ISIS ...
In his speech, Trump did not utter the phrase "attack on September 11 - the work of the USA." The quote distributed over the network is a distorted translation of the passage from the performance of the ex-president.
In the original, Trump did not say that his mouth was closed - in his own words, he himself did not want to speak out about terrorism during his presidential term. In addition, a fragment of the distributed quote that there were no attacks on the twin tower and that other countries did not participate in this, also did not correspond to reality, since the phrase was torn out of context and incorrectly translated-the politician meant that during the time he held the position of president, there were no large terrorist attacks in the country. Make sure that Trump's thesis consisted of this, you can, having studied the records of a complete performance published CNN, CNBC, C-Span, The National Desk and other media.
A couple of minutes before the viral fragment Trump Critical the current head of state Joe Biden and his administration, as well as his rival in the primaries of the Republican Party Nikki Haley For their views on the problem of ensuring the safety of American borders. According to the ex-president, drug cartels launched a war in the USA, as a result of which many citizens die from drug dominance. Directly before a fragment that has become a viral, Trump said:
When I was [in the oval office] for four years, I really wanted to speak out. We did not have terrorism, there was no [terrorist] attacks - there was nothing. We had a ban on Trump on the entrance - we call him a ban on terrorism.
As for Trump's real statements, they contain a lot of distortions. For example, a politician is not the first time claims that in four years of his presidency, not a single terrorist attack has occurred in the United States. Earlier this thesis was already dismantled by journalists CNN And The Washington Post: In fact, from 2017 to 2021, several terrorist attacks were committed in the country, including the attacks of Islamic extremists. Moreover, Trump himself in his message to Congress of 2018 mentioned Two attacks that occurred in December 2017 in New York. The amount of $ 9 trillion, supposedly spent on military operations in the Middle East, also repeatedly repeatedly I was put doubt, because exist Different expert assessments (in this case, in a similar context, the politician announced $ 6 trillion And $ 7 trillion). Talk about a complete victory over ISIS in four months, according to Trump (previously he mentioned other temporary grades), also Do not have to: this extremist organization Continues make Attacks in different countries. So, according to the monitoring service BBC, from January 1 to November 30, 2023, the Islamic State took responsibility for 838 terrorist attacks around the world (over the same period of the previous year there were 1811).
The passage distributed on the network is cut out of the recording of Trump's performance, published politician on the video hosting Rumble. In the lower left corner is the logo and the name of the Protrampov account The Storm Has Arrined (@ThestormRedux) in the social network X. There is a video there is a video Placed January 23 at 06:00 Moscow time. However, in the signature of the video in the original publication, contrary to the later Russian-speaking posts, nothing was said about September 11-the author wrote only about the statements of the ex-president about the Middle East.
The earliest post in Russian, which tells about the statement allegedly made by Trump and which traveled “verified”, appeared January 23 at 18:48 in the Telegram channel Tarik Nezalejko️ (226,000 views). Previously, this channel has repeatedly mentioned In our analysis. Although the reports of Trump's statement were dismantled Georgia, France, Italy and USA (Snopes, Lead Stories), all the examples they cited were published later than the Tarik Nezalejko️ post, and some were completely translated. “Verified” also did not find earlier English -speaking posts on this topic.
Thus, the reports that Trump accused the US authorities of undermining the twin towers are false and contain three types of misinformation at once. Firstly, the phrase “attack on September 11 is the work of the US Hands” in the speech of the politician did not sound in any form. Secondly, in numerous news notes and posts, an inaccurate translation of the words of the ex-president is given, as a result of which his genuine words were distorted. Thirdly, the real quote was torn from context-Trump meant that during his presidential term there was no tragedy of the same scale as on September 11, 2001. It is possible that initially the error arose in Russian due to an insufficiently good understanding of English-speaking or intentional distortion.
*Supreme Court of the Russian Federation Recognized The organization "Islamic state of Iraq and the Levant" of the terrorist and banned its activities in Russia.

- Is it true that Joe Biden accidentally called on to vote for Donald Trump?
- Is it true that Donald Trump promised Ilon Mask to return on Twitter soon?
- Is it true that the twin towers collapsed not because of the crashed aircraft, but because of the explosives laid in them?
