Thank you for being honest. The ones here defending Bush are delusional.If his supporters thought that Trump stood with them on every issue, they had a surprise coming when Trump was reminded of his previous stance during the latest GOP debate. He reiterated what the left has been saying and the right-wing has been denying for years. Bush lied....and there were no WMDs.
How do Trump staunch supporters respond to this? Do they agree with Trump or do they dismiss it since he caters to most of their other hate-filled beliefs and ideas?
Who will they defend now? G W Bush or Trump?
Moderator John Dickerson asked Trump point blank if he stood by his 2008 comments that Bush deserved to be impeached for allegedly misleading the public about the reasons for going into Iraq, a reminder that Trump has spent much of his life as a left-leaning critic of the GOP.
Trump didn’t restate his call for impeachment. But he didn’t disavow it, either. “You do whatever you want,” he said, seeming to provide Dickerson with the option of impeaching Bush himself. “You call it whatever you want."
Then Trump went on to say something even more unusual in a Republican primary. He suggested that the former GOP president, George W. Bush, directly lied to the American public in order to overthrow Saddam Hussein.
“I will tell you. They lied. And they said there were weapons of mass destruction and there were none. And they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction,” Trump said.
Donald Trump: Bush Lied, People Died
I've always been critical of the way Bush handled Iraq. I don't agree about the WMD stuff, they thought it was there. I don't like how he handled things after the invasion. He should not have used US troops to patrol Iraqi cities, and he should not have given back the oil fields to "the Iraqis". All they did was turn around and sell it to the Russians, Chinese, French and other assholes that were against the war. Those were the stupid mistakes made by Bush. We were justified in taking Saddam out, not because of WMD, but all the other factors.
Trump has stated that if we go to war in the ME, we should hit the oil fields, or take them. With that I 100% agree.
Trump talks as if everything is going to be so easy for him.....that in itself makes him questionable.
