15. In 2002, Donald Trump Said He Supported Invading Iraq
Sun Jul 31, 2016, 02:50 PM
Jul 2016

In the interview, which took place on Sept. 11, 2002, Stern asked Trump directly if he was for invading Iraq.
“Yeah, I guess so,” Trump responded. “I wish the first time it was done correctly.”

-snip-

Trump’s comments on Stern are more in line with what he wrote in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve, where he advocated for a “principled and tough” policy toward “outlaw” states like Iraq.

“We still don’t know what Iraq is up to or whether it has the material to build nuclear weapons. I’m no warmonger,” Trump wrote. “But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, it is madness not to carry the mission to its conclusion. When we don’t, we have the worst of all worlds: Iraq remains a threat, and now has more incentive than ever to attack us.”

As long as people or organizations are "fair" to him, he won't try to destroy them, but even that isn't a guarantee if destroying them might benefit him.

No way he will give it up. This is one of his main ways of campaigning...the lazy man's way to run for office. Just sit on your throne (porcelain or not) and send out your tantrums to millions of followers. Then wait for the media outlets to do more work for you by talking about your tweets ad nauseum. He's got this thing figured out and he is not going to stop easily. Perhaps if he sees a precipitous drop in his poll numbers he might get the drift that his strategy is not working...but somehow I don't think he will make the connection.

The best thing he could have done is call their son a hero, say I'm sorry for your loss and then shut up. Attacking the Kahns is idiotic, but he can't help himself because he is a narcissist who is incapable of understanding empathy.

While the Arizona senator "responded with grace and forgiveness — as only a man who was held in captivity for years can," Caroline McCain wrote, "I’ve been nursing a grudge ever since."

"He insulted my grandfather and attacked the very qualities  —  loyalty, bravery and selflessness  —  that he and countless other POWs embody," she added.

McCain wrote that Trump never won her over during his candidacy, calling him a "misogynist," "racist" and "demagogue," citing his remarks on women and minorities throughout his campaign.

Porcine animals serve a very useful purpose. Aside from their role in some food-chains, they consume waste materials, and provide some entertainment. To wit, Warner Bros' Porky Pig, Green Acres' Arnold, and -- of course -- Pearls Before Swine's much beloved character, known simply as "Pig."

Whereas, Drumpf is a waste of oxygen, water and other natural resources. The sooner he leaves our very fragile environment, the better.
