Trump suggests Laden wasn’t ‘a monster’ and had ‘only one hit’ in new interview

Osama bin Laden wasn’t a “monster” and only “had one hit,” said former US president Donald Trump, ahead of the 20-year anniversary of the 9/11 terror attack.

Mr Trump, in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday, boasted about operations in which the US took out “nastier” terrorists during his time at the Oval Office.

“Isis is tougher than the Taliban, and nastier than the Taliban. And Isis was watching, and then they were, they didn’t exist anymore,” Mr Trump said in the interview.
