""In the book—I can't tell you the title—but there is a page in there where I say I saw somebody named Osama Bin Laden and I didn't like it and you gotta take care of him," he continued. "They didn't do it. A year later, he blew up the World Trade Center, so I gotta take a little credit because nobody else is going to give it to me."

"You know the old story," Trump added. "They don't give you credit, just take it yourself."

“About a year – you’ll have to check it, a year, year and a half before the World Trade Center came down, the book came out. I was talking about Osama bin Laden. I said, ‘You have to kill him. You have to take him out.’ Nobody listened to me,” Trump said at the time.

CNN's fact-check revealed Trump's book referred to Bin Laden once, but did not did not "call for bin Laden to be killed or warn that he would perpetrate a major attack if he were not killed."
