Trump on Libya: "I was never for strong intervention"

Donald Trump says he supported the "surgical" removal of Gaddafi, but never backed "strong intervention" in Libya. The presumptive GOP nominee notes he made a "fortune" off of Libyan leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi when he needed a place to stay in the U.S.

[@hirakjyotidas5950]

All these years I was so wrong about Trump. Maybe because media portrayed him that way. This man talks more sense is far better than his fellow mates.

[@tamasvarga9862]

what exactly do you like he said here? first he obviously tried to deny that he even said anything like he supported the intervention, then he got confronted with his own words he tries to weasel it out like he's against the current situation. do you think anyone 12 years ago knew it would pan out like this? this is just Monday morning quarterbacking and absolutely nothing else. no interesting insight, no analysis, just stating 'I would have done it better'. And of course that his political opponent should go to jail because of the email and servers, when he's been using a private iphone and his daughter and son in law have been using private servers his entire presidency. This is "talking so much sense" to you? it's what he's been doing his whole life, hypocrisy, diversion accusations, attacks without substance. he's basically doing a rally speech in the video, no facts just PR for republicans. I'd bet a thousand bucks that he'd be unable to go point by point through the fundamental facts of either matter if his life depended on it.

As a Non American who used to Hate him during his presidency of course because i have been brainwash by Biased Media @ Propaganda Machine , i would agree with you 10000% . The World need him as the US President because he only put his country and his people first as his priority . He is not like his predecessor who always use American Taxpayer money to INVADE other sovereign state , instead of using that money to fix the country . I also think that he is The Most PEACEFUL US President ever in my life . He is the first US President to set foot to North Korea soil and shaking hand with Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un , meaning he ready to cooperate with anybody as long as can help and benefit both side . I don't know why US always elected IMPERIALIST minded people to lead them as president . I really² hope American people would stop from thinking that ways . Instead of invading and fighting with each other , we need to work together to make peace for our future .

Did he confess to scamming Gaddafi. He said he paid him for a place to stay, he took his money and didn't allow him to stay there. If he was a Nigerian they'll call him a scammer.

[@ChrisMacri376]

didn't allow?
