Fact Check: Yes, Trump did support the Iraq War
“I did not support the war in Iraq.”
–Donald Trump
THE FACT CHECKER | This is just totally false.
We have found no evidence of his early opposition to the invasion. Trump expressed lukewarm support the first time he was asked about it on Sept. 11, 2002, and was not clearly against it until he was quoted in the August 2004 Esquire cover story titled “Donald Trump: How I’d Run the Country (Better).”
But by the middle of 2004, many Americans had turned against the war, making Trump’s position not particularly unique. In light of Trump’s repeated false claim, Esquire has added an editor’s note to its August 2004 story, saying, “The Iraq War began in March 2003, more than a year before this story ran, thus nullifying Trump’s timeline.”
We have awarded this claim Four Pinocchios, compiled a timeline of all of Trump’s comments prior to the invasion in March 2003, and even a video documenting how this is a bogus claim.

KarloradoFL: I demand to see your birth certificate!
"..and when you do deliver your Birth certificate I will staple my tax returns to it!"
Trump <-
" I suspect, as some tax mavens do, that Trump pays little or no U.S. income tax because of Section 469 of the tax code.
That section carves out a special tax break for people who spend at least half their working time developing or managing real estate, allowing them to use tax losses generated by real estate to offset other income. Something regular people aren’t allowed to do."
If Trump were truly smart — and wanted to lead by example, which is the very best way to lead — he would disclose his tax returns, warts and all, and propose to close the Section 469 loophole and any others that he or his family might be using. That would make him credible, and a leader."

I agree that the US must stay out of other countries affairs...wars are profitable but only to a certain few...which creates anger and eventually terror attacks...but the US is not the only country that is invading or helping shape the foreign political landscape and reaping the benefits from it...jmo...

But Cavuto himself picked up the thread post-debate on Fox Business Network, unearthing the clip Trump referenced, from January 28, 2003 – Nearly two months before the Iraq War began on March 20. In the video, Cavuto asks Trump how much time President Bush should spend on the economy vs. on Iraq.
“Well, I’m starting to think that people are much more focused now on the economy,” Trump said. “They’re getting a little bit tired of hearing ‘We’re going in, we’re not going in.’ Whatever happened to the days of Douglas MacArthur? Either do it or don’t do it.”
Trump continued: “Perhaps he shouldn’t be doing it yet. And perhaps we should be waiting for the United Nations.”
After the invasion of Iraq, and the subsequent fallout, Trump became a much stronger and far more vocal critic of the war.
“Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we’re in,” he said in an August 2004 issue of Esquire. “I would never have handled it that way…Two minutes after we leave, there’s going to be a revolution, and the meanest, toughest, smartest, most vicious guy will take over. And he’ll have weapons of mass destruction, which Saddam didn’t have.”
If I can understand he did not think US should have gone in so should others , two months before the invasion this was said , Clinton is a bare faced liar

Trump learned from the right wing preachers === when you prophesy you have proof of both sides so no matter what, crackpots can back you up.
