LOST in the brouhaha over his idiotic dogwhistle slander is the fact that he is attacking someone for a position that he originally virulently supported.
///quote But lost in Trump’s immediate comments is that, for years, he pushed passionately and forcefully for the same immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq. In interview after interview in the later 2000s, Trump said American forces should be removed from Iraq.
“First, I’d get out of Iraq right now,” Trump said to British GQ in a 2008 interview. “And by the way, I am the greatest hawk who ever lived, a far greater hawk even than Bush. I am the most militant military human being who ever lived. I’d rebuild our military arsenal, and make sure we had the finest weapons in the world. Because countries such as Russia have no respect for us, they laugh at us. Look at what happened in Georgia, a place we were supposed to be protecting.”
Later, Trump said he wished Arizona Sen. John McCain, whom he was backing in the election, had supported pulling troops out of Iraq faster.
“I wish he would promise to get us out of Iraq faster,” said Trump. “I am not in love with that aspect of what he represents.” Those comments echoed similar remarks in March 2007 when he said forces should be immediately withdrawn from Iraq. “You know how they get out? They get out,” Trump said to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “That’s how they get out. Declare victory and leave, because I’ll tell you, this country is just going to get further bogged down. They’re in a civil war over there, Wolf. There’s nothing that we’re going to be able to do with a civil war. They are in a major civil war.”

THIS SON OF A BI- gets away with saying the biggest lies because all he has to do is make it too obnoxious, violent, threatening, or insane for anybody to address his faulty logic or outright LIES in his statements. It's Bullying 101. Say something illogical to support your own Ego- line it with a more outrageous threat or lie, and the person is so busy responding to the outrageous that they forget to contradict your basic lie.
Dear Press, Stick to the FACTS with this Media Bully!!!! Call him out on CONTENT not tone, not false deflection but MESSAGE

TBAG is on record as wanting the withdrawl and not giving a fuck about the aftermath.
