at 5:33 he says "well it was an architectural defect". There's no "n't" in his words regardless of what you think the rest of what he was saying meant.Trump doesn't say it was an architectural defect,
Not by how he is describing the outer wall.Trump's "lay speculations" are surely more significant than your own.
Trump does not sayI represented Trump's quote accurately
Yes, it sounds to me he is saying (if you listen to the complete audio; around 2.06) he thinks there were bombs on the plane also. Not in the building."I happen to think that they had not only a plane but they had bombs that exploded almost simultaneously"
I represented Trump's quote accurately and backed it up accurately using an accurate time reference to a genuine recording.
It is exactly what he said.
but what he said missed out the fact that actually the MAIN strength in the building was the central core and NOT the outer skin so his description of a Can of soup was not very accurate.
I agree that he says "... wasn't architectural defect..."
This was what Trump said on 9/11, and is a first impression. Trump is not an engineer.I represented Trump's quote accurately and backed it up accurately using an accurate time reference to a genuine recording.
It is exactly what he said.
Trump doesn't say it was an architectural defect, he says it WASN'T an architectural defect. You have to listen carefully for this but it is perfectly clear from the context that this is what he said, immediately following the remark with "they were known to be very strong buildings" and going on to expand on why he thinks they were so strong.
As a builder of huge towers, Trump's "lay speculations" are surely more significant than your own. You didn't take a tour of the buildings together with a structural engineer, did you?
he says "well it was an architectural defect". i just relistened to it 5 more times trying to here a negative and he says "was an". even his accentuation in speech patterns indicate a positive, the vocal stress point is on "was". his voice goes up.
we're gonna have to agree to disagree. Maybe someone else familiar with NY accents can chime in.wasn't" is phonetically very similar to "was an"
i do understand that it may seem like that, but if you listen to him around 1:30 he doesnt answer that question normally either, he starts talking about what he wants to talk about. he's weird.and Donald goes on to say how well the buildings were built and how strong they were, sort of to strengthen his statement that it wasn't architectural defect.
It is exactly what he said.
his original title to the thread wasA bombs on the plane theory is not something most of the "truthers" believe.
Just because he changes thought streams after he answers is irrelevant
i should note it's not just CubeRadio, James Tracy and others are claiming this also.Cube believes Trump was saying there were bombs in the TTs
Does he consider a soup can strong or weak?
It's in no way conclusive from the transcript that Trump was first talking about bombs on the planes. The interviewer initially asks if bombs could have caused the destruction of the towers: Trump seems to agree that "they had bombs".
This is perfectly obvious to anyone who actually takes the trouble to view the footage of the towers collapsing, particularly in slow motion.
Certainly, later he speculates that there was something "more than just fuel" on the planes.
whether or not he said "was" (which he does) really has nothing to do with the fact that throughout the interview he is only saying he thought there might have been bombs on the plane. Youre right i shouldnt go off-topic by arguing about it, i just find it fascinating that so many people are mishearing him.It seems terribly sad to me that dierdre has wasted so much time insisting a "was" rather than a "wasn't"
I'm sure he saw SOME footage. But the point here is that he's talking about the hole, not the collapse.How do you know Trump hadn't seen the footage of the towers exploding, [...] He saw the hole, so it's reasonable to imagine he was also watching when they blew up.
I love how you admit that you went entirely off topic with some quibble -- but my preceding post gets edited to remove a detail that proves there were bombs because, presumably, you've decreed that detail wasn't on topic.
i didnt edit it. and you didnt have anything that proved there were bombs.I love how you admit that you went entirely off topic with some quibble -- but my preceding post gets edited to remove a detail that proves there were bombs because, presumably, you've decreed that detail wasn't on topic.
oh good.. then ill just point out (then i'll drop it promise)... it WAS an architectural defect. Trump watched the buildings collapse to the ground, his choices were "architectural defect, aftershocks, bombs". He doesnt mention bombs or aftershocks.The issue of if he said it was or was not an architectural defect pertains to that, because it relates to his understanding of the entire situation
the kind that makes a giagantic strong skyscraper collapse to the ground if a plane flies into it.I mean, if you know it WAS an architectural defect, you must know what kind Trump was talking about
the topic is Trumps [in shock, just newly witnessing the collapse] conversation he had with a news station the day of the attacks. Nist is irrelevant.And your evidence for that is what? Does NIST back you up on this?
