Hollywood Partyers, Soldiering On (Trump in March 2003 at Beginning of War, Opposing War)
Washington Post ^ | 25 Mar 2003 | William Booth, Sharon Waxman

Posted on 02/16/2016 11:18:28 AM PST by xzins

Donald Trump, with Amazonian beauty Melania Knauss at his side, pronounces on the war and the stock market: "If they keep fighting it the way they did today, they're going to have a real problem."

Looking as pensive as a "Nightline" talking head, the Donald concludes, "The war's a mess," before sweeping off into the crowd.

Amazons were warriors

Or online sales merchants

Neither in 2003, but Trump certainly shows opposition to the war in this quote

How dare you!

True conservatives must support every war started by a Republican president!

Did you see the video of Colin Powell saying Bush’s Intell Group duped him about the evidence of WMDs by sending him info that had already been discredited but they did not send the notification of having been discredited?

???

Has nothing to do with whether or not Trump opposed the war in 2003.

Leftist then. Leftist now.

In March 2003 only hardcore leftists were saying this as the war was no way a mess at that time.

Except anyone who had been to Kuwait and Iraq the first time, and personal Malloy saw how things worked there.

I did.

How about you, neocon?

Pat Buchanen was saying much harder than this in 2003.

The title is Hollywood Partyers, not partners.

Trump was simply parroting the Hollywood liberal line about the war at that time.

He was indeed a Hollywood partyer type and still is a Hollywood type today.

Trump has told of how Melania brought the Paris Hilton sex tape and they watched it together. Trump was a friend of her father and had known her since she was 12.

Hollywood Manhattan wealthy sleaze. Through and through.

Actually, this story tells me a LOT more than any "war" comment Trump made. These are the people he "hangs with" because they have similar philosophies....or similar piles of money/power.

Makes me think about the other similarities he shares with our present "cool guy" Obama and the Washington cartel..........

Yes. Buchanan went nuts well before 911.

He went over to the left when he and some other ostensible libertarians (who took over FR to some degree like the Strumpettes today but were banned) made common cause with The Nation and their coteries of leftists.

My take is that he was a libertarian at the time.

But, he was a billionaire builder in New York. Of course he associated with the cultural, business, and political leaders.

Buchanan has been consistently “declared war only” for a long, long time.

It is a libertarian meme as well, so if you’d like I could look up Ron Paul and see if he opposed the war on Iraq or not. What do you think?

Is Ron Paul a leftist?
