And yet...

Wrote Trump:

Consider Iraq. After each pounding from U.S . warplanes, Iraq has dusted itself off and gone right back to work developing a nuclear arsenal. Six years of tough talk and U.S. fireworks in Baghdad have done little to slow Iraq’s crash program to become a nuclear power. They’ve got missiles capable of flying nine hundred kilometers—more than enough to reach Tel Aviv. They’ve got enriched uranium. All they need is the material for nuclear fission to complete the job, and, according to the Rumsfeld report, we don’t even know for sure if they’ve laid their hands on that yet. That’s what our last aerial assault on Iraq in 1999 was about. Saddam Hussein wouldn’t let UN weapons inspectors examine certain sites where that material might be stored. The result when our bombing was over? We still don’t know what Iraq is up to or whether it has the material to build nuclear weapons. I’m no warmonger. 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.

Yes, that’s it! He wrote that in 2000, before there was a Bush administration. Hell, Bush hadn’t even been elected yet. He would then praise Pelosi in 2007, but lament the fact that she hadn’t impeached Bush for “lying about wmds.” That’s when I knew all I needed to know about Donald Trump. He’s a pathological lying, Democrat conman. The more he lies, the more his cult loves him. Meanwhile, they attack and smear actual conservatives like DeSantis. Btw: Trump also said Bush knew about 9/11 and allowed it to happen. He’s no better than an orange Michael Moore.
