During his 2016 presidential campaign , Trump frequently cited the book on the campaign trail as proof that he predicted the September 11 attacks that occurred in 2001 . This is because he mentioned Osama Bin Laden in the book ; however , Trump did not predict that Bin Laden would commit a terrorist attack against the United States in the book .
