I would be very surprised if the FBI and CIA and NSA just "accepted" a terrorist attack without careful investigation. Trump seems to be exceedingly isolated without any allies. Quite a few of the major leaders in the Republican party are either attacking him outright or calling for a fair, independent investigation that "goes where it goes".

He has abysmally low popularity ratings.

The only ally he had, Paul Ryan, he is now throwing under the bus.

The conservatives have rejected him.

Who has Trump not alienated?

He has acted like someone completely incompetent. This is very different from Hitler who was underestimated. By comparison Trump is overestimated. We have a crucial superpower being led by a complete incompetent at a time when both Russia and China are unnervingly scary and making very aggressive moves. Trump is our chump, he is our Neville Chamberlain. Will North Korea, or Pakistan or ISIS be the trigger that sets off the crisis? Take your pick, the world is soon going to realize we have a power vacuum in the US and they will fill that vacuum.
