Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt found something Donald Trump doesnt win at on Thursday knowing his terrorists.
Im looking for the next commander-in-chief, to know who Hassan Nasrallah is, and Zawahiri, and al-Julani, and al-Baghdadi. Do you know the players without a scorecard, yet, Donald Trump? Hewitt asked the 2016 Republican candidate, referring to the respective leaders of Hezbollah, al Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra, and the Islamic State.
No," Trump said.
"You know, Ill tell you honestly, I think by the time we get to office, theyll all be changed. Theyll be all gone, he said. I knew you were going to ask me things like this, and theres no reason, because number one, Ill find, I will hopefully find General Douglas MacArthur in the pack.
Trump said asking him who the key players were was a type of gotcha question.
I will be so good at the military, your head will spin. But obviously, Im not meeting these people. Im not seeing these people, Trump said.
"Now as far as what youre talking about now, I will know every detail, and I will have the right plan, not a plan like this where were probably going backwards based on everything that Im hearing, but were probably going backwards, zero respect. We have, we are not a respected country, and certainly as it relates to ISIS and whats going on, and Iran."

I generally like Hugh, but he’s tipping his hand about how fair he can be as a moderator.
Has he asked any of the other candidates similar questions?
Totally fair and expected question from Hewitt. Anyone who has listed to Hewitt interview people should know he would ask questions like this. Trump’s staffers are a total B-Team—they completely failed to prepare him. As for Trump, he sure as Hell should have known who Zawahiri and al-Baghdadi are.
I don’t know who those guys are either, but they sound guilty.

I'd rather have a President Trump who would have aides brief him on terrorist leaders than a President Jeb who would send the terrorists soothing notes in Spanish, or a President Hillary who would try to extort donations from them.
But Donald has to memorize everything?
I believe I noticed a bug in Obama's ear at one of the last question sessions. You could tell by his pause and face that he was being fed the answers. Clever!!
“You know, Ill tell you honestly, I think by the time we get to office, theyll all be changed. Theyll be all gone,
Concise snppy rejoinder from Trump.
True enough, things are in flux
The current POTUS was lauded because he could pronounce Pakistan correctly and look where we are now.
Not impressed, Hugh. You're another Bimbo!
Bet he can't spell their names either.
I love that Trump didn't give the terrorists any importance.
I thought that was a good answer. But Trump would do well to bone up on this sort of thing.
Gotcha question. Reminds me of when Bush was asked to name the president of Pakistan before 9/11 happened.
What the heck good is going to do if Trump knows or doesn’t know at this point? Hugh is a donkey’s behind.
You made me smile. The right man for the right job. The best of the best...Petreaus....got set up and that damn b***** got away with it.
yeah thats real coherent.. concise...and meaningless
Why do you think Hewitt is the “gotcha media”?
He asked serious questions and got serious answers.
No, but he appointed people who did.
Stupid media tactic designed to make the interviewee look lame.
Wrong, all he needed to say is they will be dead shortly after he takes office.
Hughy is a RNC Jebbie- Walker hack.
and the problem.
Who the hell cares about the terror celebrity of the week.
But its nice to see Hughy team up with s fellow trump
hater at Leftico
