Timing - Clinton W. Bush & Trump

Clinton
The first attack on the World Trade Center happened on February 26th 1993.
5 weeks into the Clinton administration.
This was when we still watched the evening news for news. There was never any hint of blaming Poppa Bush.
Omar Abdul-Rahman was convicted in 1995.

After a nine-month trial, the sheikh and nine followers were found guilty in October 1995 on 48 of 50 charges. --- Reuters.

W. Bush
The second attack on the World Trade Center happened on September 11th 2001.
8 months into the W administration.
Condi Rice was the front person on spinning that it was "233 days" into their watch. That spin was dropped the next day.
Cable news was alive and vibrant including Fox News. There was a sizeable amount of blame thrown back at the previous administration, directly from the W&Co. crowd.

Osama Bin Laden was killed May 2nd 2011. 8+ years later.


Trump
Next week will be his 5th week in office.
How would they react? More importantly, how COULD they react?
