Donald Trump is still Donald Trump.

During an interview on Bloomberg TV on Friday, Trump was asked how he would make Americans safe and proud while dealing with potential crisis.

"I think I have a bigger heart than all of them. I think I'm much more competent than all of them. When you talk about George Bush — I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time."

Yes, the Republican front-runner said that former President George W Bush is somewhat responsible for the September 2001 attacks that took the lives of 2,977 people in New York City, Washington DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Bloomberg anchor Stephanie Ruhle immediately interjects telling him: "Hold on, you can't blame George Bush for that."

However, it was too late, Trump continued to air out his feelings toward the Republican establishment: "He was president, okay? Blame him or don't blame him but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign."
