In 2011, Trump said that George W. Bush should have been impeached-—that Bush was “so incompetent, so bad, so evil” and was the worst president in the history of the country.
In the same 2011 interview, he said Obama could go down as a great president, and that he had done an amazing job.
Is this the interview (CNN)?
Pressed why he feels Bush deserved the punishment faced by only two other commanders-in-chief, Trump said the president misled the country in the run-up to the Iraq war, and that his actions were considerably more objectionable than those which led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton.
“He lied. He got us into the war with lies,” Trump said. And I mean - look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant. And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense. And yet Bush got us into this horrible war with lies, by lying, by saying they had weapons of mass destruction, by saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true.”
He also said in another interview that George Bush gave us the disaster that is Obama. I agree. Part of that is because no matter what was said about him, he never opened his mouth to refute it. Silence can be assent. By the way, Jeb! is also distancing himself from his brother. Even lost his surname.
“he “Obama” had done an amazing job.”
My You tube installer is down so I couldn’t watch it. Comment section said he was referring to Obama getting himself elected. I googled the topic, and could only find the where he expressed the opposite sentiment of Obama doing an amazing job.
