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

Not really. If my countrymen had long term memories, they would never have put back in power the folks who got us embroiled in a needless conflict with Iraq, who had nothing to do with 9/11.

Ah ok. I was just trying to understand how US politics got so crazy Trump could be President.

@sogdianrock That likely has nothing to do with 9/11. Trump's divisiveness appealed to the racists and xenophobes still in our midst. And a large number of people in swing states opted out of the voting process altogether.

A majority of the 9/11 pilots were Saudis, as was Osama bin Laden. If Trump was concerned with 9/11, our relationship with Saudi Arabia would've changed dramatically. It [b]hasn't[/b]. They didn't even make Trump's travel ban list. And he certainly didn't stop doing business with them.
