Donald Trump criticizes President George W. Bush on foreign policy

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump defends his critique of President George W. Bush’s foreign policy stating that, “the World Trade Center came down during his reign.” Trump claims Bush started “the chain of events” that led to the turmoil in the Middle East.

[@roccoz2231]

I'm NOT a fan of Trump, at ALL. But the man brilliantly and flawlessly summarized George W Bush's tragic and stomach-turning political legacy in 3 minutes.

look I'm a hard core liberal but I have to admit that was good honest and very thoughtful

[@unknownstar9522]

He seems to be saying what he really thinks independently from all other politicians and media in unison as far as foreign policies go. He was “thoughtful” because he said contemporary Bush MAY have or may have NOT lied instead of saying he definitely lied, which gives living Bush a little escaping hole. But by average reasoning, Bush lied. Because if he said there was no WMD, it is possible he could say true by really not finding it even though they were in hiding. But if he said there was WMD when there was none, it is not possible he could say true unless he was lying. What did he find when there was none? He lied and the consequences were two trillion (! I didn’t know it was that much) and over four thousand lives of American soldiers (twice of 9-11 victims) and many suicides. Fallen soldiers returned in coffin covered with the flag and saluted. Many Americans must have believed the just cause since Bush was re-elected for the second term but two trillions were distributed to somewhere else. Now applying the insurance companies’ reasonable fraud investigation on the recipients as supspects (fire cause/husband for wife’s death/manipulated accident), the recipients of two trillions need to be investigated? But what do I know? I’m just saying the train of logic. I have to be thoughtful to say that history may or may not find the truth. Tulsi Gabbard (a Democratic runner from Hawaii) also criticizes the Iraq war. Btw, Trump was saying the twin towers were collapsed like that by the bombs implemented in the basement not by airplanes in a KZbin video which may be removed by now.

a republican putting down another republican you have to respect him for that. I personally feel that bush was the worst president we have ever had. i'm curious to know what he means about the economic collapse gave us barack Obama? can someone please explain what he meant?

[@George-jv2ed]

freedom fighter95 the collapse was so bad that people blamed republicans, which gave us obama.

[@rezoannur2333]

People were so sick of a Republican president that they wanted something new so Obama was a result. Everything is a reaction to something before.

[@johnfoster8643]

Yes it’s often forgotten that McCain was polling pretty close to Obama up until the collapse. Obama was still ahead and was still likely to win, but it wasn’t hopeless for McCain, after the economic collapse it was hopeless.

If the iraq war and the collapse didn't happen, McCain would have defeated obama in 2008, but probably lose the popular vote by a small bit and then he would have lost reelection to Hillary in 2012 who would also win reelection against jeb bush in 2016, and because of covid19 trump would be elected over vice president tim kaine in 2020, this timeline would have been the best case scenario honestly

Sorry Trump if anything, Barrack Obama had a mess to clean up after Bush , dont you dare say he didnt

[@jiayangshao4736]

obama agrees with bush on the war in middle east , remember obama respects bush, he started libya war in 2011 to repeat another killing of saddam hussein in a different country. And obama is personally responsible for syrian war 2014 . There are certain bombings and attack during 2011 to 2016 on ISIS has something to do with previous iraq war. But he initiates a lot more conflicts around iraq than Bush did. Libya has seen more conflicts after that war, and it still causes terrorism and migration crisis. Some of the terrorism in libya are linked to ISIS moment in syria and iraq. If obama didn't do anything, i don't think there is any mess to clean up. The bottom line is as much as obama wants to withdrawal troops, by 2015, US has committed overwhelming ground troops back to iraq to fight ISIS. The reason ground troops are committed is because drone bombing failed for years. And things gets worse in 2016.
