Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Sunday that he thought the Middle East would be more stable if Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gadhafi were still in power.
“It’s not even a contest,” he said.
Trump continued to say, “It’s not even a contest. Iraq is a disaster. And ISIS — Don’t forget. ISIS came out of Iraq.”
NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd interrupted Trump and asked him outright if he thought the Middle East would be better off with the two leaders in power.
“Of course it would be,” Trump said. “You wouldn’t have had your Benghazi situation which is one thing which was just a terrible situation. But, of course, it would. Libya is — is not even — nobody even knows what’s going on over there. It’s not even a country anymore.”
He’s right; ISIS was formed by upper echelon Iraqi military personnel who were stupidly fired from their jobs by Cheney and Bush.
Blame your own party jackass, it’s YOUR people who caused this fucking clusterfuck.
Every now and then, he stumbles onto some truth.
These statements will not endear him to the G.O.P. establishment, of course.
No, but the ignert asswipes who are his base will cheer him on because stupid.
And Europe would of course be have been a much more stable place if Napolean had remained in power.
Well, they’re right. If Trump had been President in 2003 instead of Obama, we never would have made those terrible mistakes in Iraq. And if Trump had been President in 2001 instead of Obama, 9/11 wouldn’t have happened.
What’s that you say?
