Business Insider [businessinsider.com]:

Noor bin Ladin, the niece of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, has expressed support for President Donald Trump in an interview with The New York Post.

  The 33-year-old, speaking in her first-ever media interview, claims that Trump would prevent a second 9/11 terror attack if elected to a second term.

"ISIS proliferated under the Obama/Biden administration, leading to them coming to Europe. Trump has shown he protects America and us by extension from foreign threats by obliterating terrorists at the root and before they get a chance to strike," she told the tabloid.

Could it be that the new form of terrorism is praising Trump?

[b]in Ladin told the publication that she was a longtime admirer of Trump, whose pledge to ban Muslims from the US was one of the main planks of his 2016 election bid (a modified version of the ban was declared legal by the US Supreme Court in 2018.)

The president had pledged to pursue tougher anti-terror policies than the Obama administration, but has been accused of pursuing a chaotic foreign policy that has allowed the ISIS fighters to regroup in Syria

"I have been a supporter of President Trump since he announced he was running in the early days in 2015. I have watched from afar and I admire this man's resolve," she said. "He must be reelected ... It's vital for the future of not only America, but western civilization as a whole."

"You look at all the terrorist attacks that have happened in Europe over the past 19 years. They have completely shaken us to the core … [Radical Islam] has completely infiltrated our society," bin Ladin continued. "In the US it's very worrying that the left has aligned itself completely with the people who share that ideology."

On Twitter, bin Ladin has posted pictures of herself wearing clothing emblazoned with pro-Trump slogans, with hashtags from the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy movement.
