Throughout his time as president, Donald Trump made numerous statements regarding the terrorist incidents that took place in the United States while he was in office.
On occasion, he voiced his disapproval of these assaults in extreme detail. “two terrorist attacks in New York” in “recent weeks” were mentioned in his State of the Union address in 2018, which he delivered in year 2018. After terrorist attacks in Pittsburgh and El Paso, he visited each of these cities. Survivors of an attack in California were invited to the White House by him.
Currently, however, he still maintains that he had nothing to do with any terrorist attacks at all.
The most evasive part of his speech to the 2022 Declaration. He had made that clear in 2023 and mentioned it during the June CNN presidential debate. He made the same point again at a campaign rally Monday.
In his speech at the Pennsylvania convention, he said, “There was no terrorist attack during my time.” First of all, Mr. Trump may be wrong. During his presidency, there were several attacks from terrorists; the latest occurred in New York, where he spent his decades. That is what the jihadists did. The victims of Trump’s terrorist attacks are many people.

First things first: Trump is wrong about what he says. His term also saw famous jihadist attacks in New York, which have long served his hometown. Many people have lost their lives due to Trump terrorist attacks.
Eight people lost their lives in a terrorist attack in October 2017 in New York City that was carried out by an Islamic fanatic. To demonstrate sympathy for the terrorist group ISIS, the extremist committed the deed. Throughout his presidency, Trump brought up the atrocities of this incident more than once. He called the assailant a “animal” and expressed sorrow for the horrifying wounds sustained by the survivors.
In December 2017, a further ISIS supporter set off a bomb in the New York City subterranean system, injuring people in the vicinity. In a brief statement, the US President denounced the act and noted that it was “the second terror attack in New York in the last two months.”
Other terror attacks under Trump
It was, in fact, a radical Saudi Arabian military member who killed a U.S. soldier and injured three other soldiers at a Florida military base in 2019, according to an investigation by President Trump’s Justice Department. It just is what it means. Terrorist attacks during the Trump presidency include the following, among others.
The 2018 terrorist attack by another neo-conservative on a California synagogue in a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2019 was the worst attack on a Jewish community in American history by a white gun lobby that superiority resulted, resulting in twelve killed and six wounded. Following this attack, President Trump gave a public speech and hosted a memorial service for the survivors at the White House.
In 2017, a black man was killed in New York City during a race war by the self-described white nationalist, who pleaded guilty to several crimes, including first-degree murder in furtherance of a crime spree. The murderer used the phrase “terrorist attack” to characterise the act.

In 2017, a radicalised anti-Republican man targeted Republican senators and other Republicans as they were ready for the annual congressional charity baseball game in Virginia. Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip at the time, and three other people were shot as a consequence of the operation. The senior state prosecutor for the area described the attack as “an act of terrorism”.
President Trump’s Justice Department branded the 2019 gun massacre at a Walmart in Texas, which left 23 people dead and 22 injured, as “an act of domestic terrorism.” In this instance, however, the lone killer only targeted Latinos.
That was the end of it when the US Department of Justice labelled an intricate device mailed to prominent Democratic politicians, Trump supporters on CNN, and other people in 2018 as a “domestic terrorist attack.”
