KA-BOOM! What Trump Really Thinks About Iraq and Hillary

What follows is from Daily Kos.


In 2007, Wolf Blitzer interviewed Da Trump.  Da Trump was asked what he thought about the war in Iraq.  Da Trump said this:

The war is a total disaster. It's a catastrophe, nothing less. It is such a shame that this took place. In fact, I gained a lot of respect for our current president's father by the fact that he had the sense not to go into Iraq. He won the war and then said, Let's not go the rest of the way. And he turned out to be right. And Saddam Hussein, whether they liked him or didn't like him, he hated terrorists. He'd shoot and kill terrorists. When terrorists came into his country, which he did control and he did dominate, he would kill terrorists. Now it's a breeding ground for terrorists. So, look, the war is a total catastrophe.

BLITZER: Who do you blame?

TRUMP: And they have a civil war going over there.

BLITZER: Who do you blame?

TRUMP: Well, there's only one person you can blame, and that's our current president. I mean, obviously Rumsfeld was a disaster, and other people that are giving him advice have been a disaster. And Condoleezza Rice, who's a lovely woman but she never makes a deal -- she doesn't make deals, she waves. She gets off the plane, she waves, she sits down with some dictator -- 45 degree angle, they do the camera shot. She waves again, she gets back on the plane, she waves -- no deal ever happens. So, I mean — 

Then, Blitzer said, "Thank you very much.  Let's talk politics.  All right?  A lot of people thinking about politics right now.  I'm going to mention some names:  give me your thoughts right away. 

Hillary Clinton.

Da Trump said:

Very talented, very smart. She's a friend of mine, so I'm a little bit prejudiced. She's a very, very capable person and I think she'll probably be the nominee. We'll see, but I think she'll probably be the nominee.

BLITZER: Is she ready to be commander-in-chief?

TRUMP: I think she is. I think she's a very, very brilliant person, and as a senator in New York, she has done a great job. Everybody loves her. She just won an election with a tremendous majority and she really -- she's become very, very popular in New York. And it wasn't easy.

AND KA-BOOM!!!!

One Sentence by the Crazy Donald Trump

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist  and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, 

OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart 

—you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, 

like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the 

smartest people anywhere in the world—it's true!—but when you're a 

conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that's 

why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went 

there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my 

like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged—but 

you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would 

have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are (nuclear 

is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the 

power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of 

what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), 

but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it 

used to be three, now it's four—but when it was three and even now, I 

would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, 

you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter 

right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about 

another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians  are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.
