Friedman: We Could Be One Terrorist Attack Away from President Trump

‘If there is an act of terrorism in late October, early November, it’s going to redound to Donald Trump’s favor in ways that are highly unpredictable’

FRIEDMAN: "You know, I think one of the things that Obama has done right and a favor to Hillary Clinton on is saying in response to these acts of terrorism, we have to suck it up. It’s got to be like Israel, you know? “You blew up that bus. In three hours, the sidewalk is cleaned up, no one knows it happened.” Because if we set this up the way we’re setting it up, if there is an act of terrorism in late October, early November, it’s going to redound to Donald Trump’s favor in ways that are highly unpredictable. I saw that play in Israel. It elected Bibi Netanyahu over Shimon Peres after the Rabin assassination."
TODD: "So you think we’re a terrorist attack away from President Trump?"
FRIEDMAN: "Could be, Chuck."
