Amazing Donald Trump Interview on Iraq; 10 Years Old

[superpunch]

This was back in 2007. Brutal. He absolutely nails it and destroys Bush II.

It blows my mind that in 2016 that the Republicans have this guy at their helm and the Democrats are electing a pro-war candidate. What happened to the Democrats caring about being anti-war????

Hillary's support in particular really bothers me. She was alive during the Gulf of Tonkin incident and she was Bill's wife during his presidency when he had to deal with intelligence agencies. So, she'd seen the WMD-lies play out 40 years before. She was also very familiar with the bullshit intelligence agencies tell everyone. She KNEW the WMDs were lies.

And she still voted for the Iraq War. Why? Obvious to anyone who's old enough to remember 2003's political climate: it was political suicide not to vote for it. So, she had no problem sacrificing the lives of American troops and Iraqis just to get re-elected.

Another point: With the amount of $$$ that we spent in Iraq, we could have gone to mars 40 times instead. Instead, we have dead people and ISIS. Yay.

And people still think Trump is a loose cannon and the World is safer in Hillarys hands lol.

Hillary also supports removing Assad, Trump doesn't so it looks like she has learned nothing.

 

[Clippy]

Even when Trump has valid points, his public image is crap and he has too many flaws to make up for.

Bill Cosby also has a lot of great ideas, but nobody gives a shit now cause of his scandals.

 

[Bloodworth]

Can anyone post the video of hillary saying we came , he saw, he died and she laughs i beleive.

On record she is saying we came. so what was her role in the lynching of Gaddafi and was it legal.

What was her role and the government's role in the government take down in libya. Because never was any intervention in libya every mentioned in the media. Was it legal.

And what was Clintons role in the Egyptian governments take down and the hand over to the Muslim brotherhood. Who had to be banned from Egypt after Clinton usherd them in?

Is that the position he finally settled on after flip flopping multiple times?

A Guide To Donald Trump’s Shifting Position On The Iraq War

2000: He didn't declare a pro-war stance in this book.

2002: He wasn't a politician at the time and hadn't really thought about his position, and it was during a Howard Stern interview. So he gave an off-the-cuff, half-thought out answer. “Yeah, I guess so."

The invasion hadn't even took place and he was a businessman. It would be like Howard Stern asking a politician if he liked the Apprentice.. “Yeah, I guess so."

From 2003 onwards, when the invasion took place, he was firmly against it.

"I wasn't a politician at the time" is my favorite Trump defense. I heard it this morning on CNN when they asked his advisor about him defending Bill Clinton as the victim in the 90's against these "loser" and "ugly women." The advisor said well he wasn't running for president then.

Why didn't you oppose Iraq? I wasn't a politician.
Why were you pro-life? I wasn't a politician then.
Why did you donate to democrats? I wasn't a politician then.
Why was Hilary the greatest Secretary of State in your opinion? I wasn't a politician when I said that.

I've watched the Howard Stern interview. He sounds like he'd just smoked a blunt right before giving his answer. It wasn't a serious answer at all.

He was a businessman answering a question about politics on the nation's biggest Shock Jock show.. come on man!

You really expected him to think about and give a well-thought out answer to the first time anyone had ever asked him that question, on this show?

 

[Fawlty]

He sounded just as stupid back then.

These 3 --

He doesn't give a fuck about social policies or religion. You just gotta pretend you do to get votes. Everyone does this. At 140+ IQs, 90% of the population is atheist or agnostic. At mentally handicapped IQs, this is exactly reversed. Yet, in our Congress, you won't find anyone atheist or agnostic..

As for the last 2 -- yeah, when you're in business, you play both sides for favors. Or you don't make any $$$.

I personally have some influential family that didn't run for local or state political office because they happened to be the wrong religion (Jewish) to get elected. And if you ever talk to wealthy people about how government contracts and favors are awarded... well Department of State contracts aren't going to anyone who said you were a bad Secretary of State. And you're probably going to get fucked by zoning laws if you didn't "donate".

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

Yup, he was spot on then and he is now...

Finally a Republican with a modicum of intelligence and common sense

 

[djacobox372]

The fact is that Trump supported the war when it started and would have voted for it.

When we didn't find WMD's right away, he quickly changed his tune.

 

[M3t4tr0n]

How many positions does he have on it? It's hard to tell where he stands on anything as much as he flipflops.

 

[Madmick]

OMFG, you Trump nincompoops manage to do this on every fucking issue.

That was 2007? You mean when being jaded with the war was popular and that fucking snake oil salesman was cozying up to that message? Think that might have had something to do with his brand? Remind me...what was he saying in 2001? In 2003?
In Fact | Donald Trump Opposed Iraq War — but After It Started

Donald J. Trump took a moment to separate himself from his rivals by declaring that he had gone on the record with his opposition of the Iraq war some 11 years ago — in July 2004.

The claim, however, left out the reality that his opposition came well after the war was already underway. The war began in March 2003.

It was that next year that Mr. Trump spoke against the war, in interviews with Esquire and Larry King.

“I do not believe that we made the right decision going into Iraq, but, you know, hopefully, we’ll be getting out,” Trump said on “Larry King Live” in November 2004.

Still, the antiwar sentiment did not stop Mr. Trump from supporting George W. Bush during his 2004 re-election. He spoke of that support, in light of the Iraq war, during an interview with Bill O’Reilly.

And it's just hilarious because here, YET AGAIN, Trump is being lauded by his zombified supporters for mutually exclusive positions. You all were cheering him when he was talking about glassing ISIS and the desert, but now you're trying to position him as the anti-war candidate?


STOP BEING FUCKING RETARDS. IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER: HAWK OR DOVE. NOBODY CAN BE BOTH. PICK ONE, ZOMBIES.

 

[liljoe]

Trump was all for it before he was against it. Just like Libya. Biggest FLIP FLOPPER since Kerry.

 

[IDL]

It's basically calling a turd a turd, which is as it should be.

 

[TheStruggle]

Clinton supporters are panicking now

Amazing fact;

Sept. 11, 2002: Howard Stern asks Trump if he supports invading Iraq.

“Yeah, I guess so. You know, I wish it was, I wish the first time it was done correctly.”

This will be conveniently ignored.
