At first glance, Jeffrey Sachs and Donald Trump don’t have much in common. Sachs is a highbrow policy advisor who used to make top-100-most-important-people-in-the-world lists, but has lost his Establishment position after trumpeting unspeakable truths. Trump, for his part, is a middlebrow-at-best showman with a genius for mixing unspeakable truths with outrageous nonsense and then selling the intoxicating concoction to right-of-center voters.

Despite their very different styles, Sachs and Trump share an interest in unspeakable truths in general—and truths about the 9/11 wars in particular. During his 2016 presidential campaign and afterward, Trump called the 2003 US invasion of Iraq a “disaster” and a “big lie,” while blasting the open-ended pointlessness of the war in Afghanistan. As president, he unsuccessfully pressured his generals to withdraw.

Trump has even made a few statements echoing claims of the 9/11 truth movement. During an interview on CNBC's "The Kudlow Report" in 2011 Trump said:

“I blame George Bush for 9/11. The CIA failed. The FBI failed. Everybody failed. But, ultimately, the president is the one that’s responsible.”

In February 2016 debate Trump also referenced the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center:

“The World Trade Center came down during his (Bush’s) watch. I mean, the World Trade Center came down, and he was president. It was a disgraceful situation.”

One reason it was “disgraceful,” of course, is that American political and journalistic elites lied outrageously by claiming that jet fuel, rather than explosives, did the catastrophic damage. On the very day of the attacks, Trump went on record opining that explosives must have been used on the Towers.

Jeffrey Sachs, like Trump, has repeatedly blasted the disgraceful 9/11 wars and the lies that dragged America into them. Like Trump, Sachs has insinuated that he knows the official story of 9/11 is a lie. In a recent interview Tucker Carlson asked Sachs whether he expects the incoming Trump Administration to release classified documents on 9/11. Foolishly, the at-least-somewhat-9/11-savvy Carlson suggests those documents might merely explain why al-Qaeda did it (which, of course, it didn’t). But Sachs counters by rattling off a long series of “evil” actions by the US government, including assassinations and MK-Ultra mind control, and repeatedly going to war under false pretenses, and says that if the truth ever comes out:

“It would change the course of America back to a true republic. Because what happened in this country is that we were overtaken by the security state and we became a system of confidentiality and unaccountability. And it’s a big, massive machine, and a lot of people are paid to keep quiet or to salute whatever the military industrial complex or the intelligence agencies are doing without asking questions. Because when you have one and half trillion dollars a year spent on that, you’re a pretty big business. And it has affected the universities, the think tanks, of course, the Congress, which asks no questions of any serious kind. And so major, major events of fundamental significance for our insecurity take place without any truth-telling at all.”

Though Trump and Sachs both express virulent disgust with the mendacious 9/
