Trump never mentioned of Laden as a worthy man. In fact, Laden was only the primary mastermind behind various American personnel attacks including the World Trade Centre attack on September 11th, 2001.
This image was taken at a book party at the Trump Tower in America’s New York City back in 1987’s month of December.
