Do you think Trump got elected in part because of the weirdness of 9/11?

Would Iraq war have happened without 9/11? Obama presidency without Iraqi war? Trump presidency without Obama?

Everything in politics after 9/11 has happened in part because of it, and not only in the US.

hi Cierzo
haha sure of course. I was trying to isolate that mood of distrust in the establishment narrative of 9/11 which has failed to satisfy. I think Trump played on that mood of distrust and still does.

@sogdianrock Probably Trump played on that mood of distrust, but the establishment has given many reasons to be distrusted.

hi Cierzo
Yes and over 9/11 for a start!

@sogdianrock I was thinking more of the weapons of mass destruction, or the 'spontaneous' Arab springs.

Trump reaped what the establishment sowed. Their fault.
