Trump called Iraq War a "catastrophe", troops need to come home "now"
Edited on Wed Oct-11-06 09:27 AM by npincus
Last night Donny Deutsch (CNBC) interveiwed Trump and asked him, from the viewpoint of a businessman, how he would critique the "CEO of the largest corporation in America, George B*sh".

Trump immediately said the Iraq war was a catastrophe and the troops needed to come home. He said things were just horrible and would only get worse if we stay, we need to leave and let tham have their civil war and hash it out. He also said (twice) that the next dictator who takes over "and there will be one" will "make Sadaam Hussein look like a baby". In other words, their fate is pretty much sealed. The next leader will be even worse than Sadaam.

Deusch asked him what he would do if he were president, trump immediately said "bring the troops home". He also said that B*sh had surrounded himself with terrible people.

i know Trump said more about Chimp (not flattering) but it escapes me now. Will add to post if I remember.

Anyway, say what you will about Trump, a lot of Americans listen to what he says, his books are bestsellers, and respect his opinion.

2. I think that thinking people on both sides of the fence have had enough.

4. MORE: (just remembered..)
Trump also spoke passionately about how everybody around the world had good feelings, wanted to help the US after 9-11, and it was "squandered". That America was "hated everywhere"... "wherever you go, America is hated. It was never that way". He said something like "that poor guy in Britain (Blair) is out becaue he supported him". He said a lot of Americans have relatives in Britain and "they hate us now".

Trump has contempt for B*sh and/or his policies, that was obvious, without saying so directiy.
