I think it's real. Anyone who's interested in doing the work can get a copy of the referenced book and look up the quote to confirm. No one constructs a lie that easily debunked.
I think what we have is an instance of, "If you can't cover it up, turn it up." I will explain....
Trump is a smart guy moving widely in the highest circles, while also seeming quite down-to-earth. By all accounts he's engaging and personable in private. Thus, he's the kind of guy people end up confiding in.
The 911 attacks were surely "in the air" in the late 90's for anyone paying attention (which almost no one was). Intelligence operations always leak to some extent, and a big one like this certainly would.
No one but Trump himself could say how much he picked up on. Bill Cooper picked up on a lot from far outside the sphere where it was taking place. So Trump, being a patriot, expresses either as much as he knows, or as much as he thinks people can handle.
As an instructive parallel, one should examine John O'Neill. He may have been the last honest FBI agent, and his story was covered by PBS in what may have been their last honest reporting:
These disclosures directly relate to John O’Neill’s story. He came tantalizingly close to possibly uncovering the 9/11 plot. But his investigations into the USS Cole terrorist attack and into Al Qaeda’s presence in the United States were both undermined by the CIA and FBI’s failure to share information with each other.
So O'Neill also knew it was "in the air", but you see how they spin it there at the end.
I will spoil the ending to John story: he is driven from the FBI and becomes (get this) security director for the WTC. Shortly thereafter he's killed in the 911 attacks. That wraps up the story of what happens to honest people who try to prevent "terrorism" and find the perpetrators of "terrorist acts".
And finally, back to Mika and Joe: they can't have normies knowing even the little I just wrote, so to avoid all that they "turn up the volume" and are attempting to sell it as, "wAs tRuMp WaS iN oN iT?! (yEs)" As I've said many times, "They" are desperate and nothing is off the table.
