During last Saturday night’s GOP debate, Donald Trump joined the likes of radical leftists Code Pink, Rosie O’Donnell, Michael Moore, Nancy Pelosi , Harry Reid and Charles Schumer in accusing Republican president George W. Bush administration of knowingly lying about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction (WMD’s), and sending America to war anyway.
“I want to tell you. They lied,” Trump said Saturday night. “They said there were weapons of mass destruction, there were none. And they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction,” he shouted.
Setting aside the inconvenient truth that there is irrefutable evidence that Saddam Hussein used WMD’s on his own people, and that WMD’s were actually found in Iraq and that even the very liberal New York Times admits it, Trump then appeared Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press with Chuck Todd, and amazingly said that he never called anyone a liar.
“I didn’t call anyone a liar,” Trump lied to Chuck Todd.
Assuming words still have meaning, and assuming that saying someone told that big of a lie means you are calling the person who told repeated lies a liar, then Trump is lying.
Moreover, Trump has repeatedly said that George W. Bush should have been impeached over his supposed “lie,” so he can’t walk it back. If it was simply a mistake by Bush, that wouldn’t be an impeachable offense. But no, Trump said Bush lied.
But Trump wasn’t done.
Having realized his gargantuan flip-flop, going from saying Bush lied to saying he didn’t call anyone a liar, Trump now says that he “doesn’t know” if George W. Bush lied.
Appearing by phone on ABC’s Good Morning America on Tuesday, Trump told George Stephanopoulos his position had changed again.
“I don’t know if he lied or not. I just know that there are no weapons of mass destruction,” Trump said.
So in less than 72 hours, Trump has gone from calling former President of the United States George W. Bush, a fellow Republican no less, a liar, to saying that he didn’t call anyone a liar, to now claiming that he doesn’t know if anyone lied.
Instead of self-funding a presidential run to fuel his oversized ego, perhaps a better investment for Trump would be to invest in a well-qualified psychiatrist.
Either there is a major personality disorder going on here or what you’re looking at is an extremely dishonest person.
It seems to me that Washington, D.C., has no shortage of narcissistic sociopaths and liars. We don’t need another one, especially one of these YUGE proportions.
Like all con men, Donald Trump comes across as authentic and a straight-talker, that he may even believe what he’s saying. But someone who can rapid-fire lies like this in such a short period of time — at the same he’s calling everyone else under the sun liars — is not only extremely disturbing, but is completely unacceptable to anyone coming anywhere near the White House.
Bin Laden already had tried to blow up the 911 towers before, no excuse.
He should have banned Muslim immigration and started deporting non Muslim citizens out like trump wants.
Bush knew the dangers of muslims, Why did he not ban muslims from entering the united states like trump wants to do? Why did he not deport muslims like trump wants to ?
That was the blind shake, whom was convicted of it.
aside from the law ?
djt acts as if he will reign as king.. of course he has used that word to describe other Presidential terms as well so maybe he believes it.
You’re calling Trump a child molester?
<><><><><>>
No, I’m sure that ifinnegan was just suggesting that the poster had a pathological condition, and provided one example of a pathological condition.
You know, the same type of example Trump used on Ben Carson a few month’s back.
We put Japanese and German into interment camps, like i said no excuse. He could have stopped it if he had not been political correct
They ALL sound like idiots.
of his daughter he stated
“Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father”
not saying he is a child molester.. but ewww.
Go Trump!
you missed the point...of my comment, and of the entire kerfuffle. You are having a debate with your self...makes you the master debater....
You are not a history buff are you ?
NO German Camps in the USA unless you count POW camps
as my grandfather was of German decent and name .. I doubt they would have allowed him to lead his squad of K company 143 reg. 36th Div in Italy.
Oh yeah sorry , but there were for germans in ww1
Like i said bush could have done to muslims what was done to the japanese in ww2.
No excuse
No, but that’s the point. A lot of people say and I think correctly that “they” lied - the government, the Bush administration. That is different than saying the “President lied.” You can call that semantics but it’s really not. So when people accuse Trump of saying Bush lied, unless they can produce where he actually said that, then that is a misrepresentation IMO. And if we dug down, we’d find that these reports of WMD’s as the rationale for the invasion came from some source connected with the government.
I see you like the Obama post constitutional world.
And you do know that the WW1 camps for for Germans that had decided not to go out to sea, and the US confiscated the ships and used then as well as foreign nationals They were not US Citizens.
“Around the same time, 2,000 captured sailors and 1,600 immigrants were deported to the countries of their citizenship”
then this quote might help you out on the He / They thing
“He lied. He got us into the war with lies. 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.”
Donald Trump, Oct 15, 2008
We are at war with muslims, this is the third Islamic crusade against the west.
The first one ended in battle of tours, the second in the siege of vienna. This one must be the final, this time islam must be wiped out.
Trump is the one who is the closest to that vision.
Agreed
Well there you go. I know you don’t see it this way, but I distinguish between Trump the businessman and Trump eight years later as the candidate. I think now he would be more careful, even though I think by strong inference, Bush did lie - he just didn’t expressly lie.
Very similar to supporters of this Pope and hildabeast.
