He’s not saying they ARE advising him. They’re on a list...
It is NO news. Trump never said the three he ‘respected’ were his advisers.
Wow...NO ONE in history has had his words twisted and taken out of context like Trump.
Frankly, that’s probably a good thing. I can’t think of very many “Republicans” from whom I’d actually take advice.
By and large, that party is a party of appeasement, cowardice and capitulation. It’s leaders are go-along get-along simps whose primary interests are furthering their own second-tier power and figuring what lies to tell their constituents every 2,4, or 6 years.
I’d say they need a pair of balls, but that would necessitate some framework - a SPINE! - from which to hang them.
Haass twitted that he briefed Trump.
This article is just a lame hit piece.
...as compared to mooslim communist faggots advising soetoro?
Trump being vague, indefinite, and unclear????
Say it isn't so!!!
The RAND Corp faxed the list to Megyn, but she ignored it.

“Haass himself tweeted during the GOP debate to distance himself from Trump and clarify his involvement — or lack thereof — in the front-runner’s foreign policy.”
This is GOOD NEWS! Alex Jones was worried that Donald Trump had gone over the the dark side! ;-) Ted Cruz is not the only candidate endorsed by a CFR member. As a natural born Canadian, Ted Cruz is perfect to be the first President of the North American Union!
What it is is a lie of a title made to hurt Trump.
He has not claimed they are his advisors and this is made to make Trump look like he lied.
But go ahead a squeeze as much hate with stupid crap like this article if it makes ya feel good.
Until Donald is the obvious winner, I suspect most people will not be publicly associated with him. Assuming we reach that point, he will have to reject many.
It is long overdue for advisers from somewhere get him up to speed on foreign policy. I appreciate his big picture view, but the needs to start seriously talking about foreign policy as if he actually has some understanding of it.
Putin is not our friend. He is using the mass migration crisis to weaken Europe and NATO.
Just a decade ago, could anyone imagine that Muslims would be in a position to collapse Sweden?
Trump will be the nominee. Prepare to fight Hillary.
So, the answer to this is: even if Trump has no advisors now, that is better than having Sidney Blumenthal.
Trump never said these people were advising him he said he would look to people like that for advice if elected.
This article contains a major lie about Trump. Here it is:
“Bolton, known to be very hawkish, strongly supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq, WHILE TRUMP STRONGLY OPPOSED THE WAR and repeatedly criticized Jeb Bush during the campaign over the topic.”
That is a lie. Trump never opposed the Iraq war until the war had already started. Look at what he said then vs now:
Then: Are you for invading Iraq? “Yeah, I guess so, uh, you know, I wish it was, uh, I WISH THE FIRST TIME IT WAS DONE CORRECTLY.”
Further, in his book in 2000, he said this:
“After each pounding from U.S. warplanes, Iraq has dusted itself off and gone right back to work developing a nuclear arsenal…Six years of tough talk and U.S. fireworks in Baghdad have done little to slow Iraq’s crash program to become a nuclear power. They’ve got missiles capable of flying nine hundred kilometers—more than enough to reach Tel Aviv. They’ve got enriched uranium. All they need is the material for nuclear fission to complete the job…”
He continued, “That’s what our last aerial assault on Iraq in 1999 was about. Saddam Hussein wouldn’t let UN weapons inspectors examine certain sites where that material might be stored. The result when our bombing was over? We still don’t know what Iraq is up to or whether it has the material to build nuclear weapons. I’m no warmonger. But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, IT IS MADNESS NOT TO CARRY THE MISSION TO ITS CONCLUSION.”
So, clearly, in 2000 and 2002, Trump thought that the invasion of Iraq was okay, and had advocated a stronger response than what Bush’s father had done in the first invasion – “carrying the mission to its conclusion.”
Now, in the Anderson Cooper town hall, Trump said: “I will say this — Bush felt very — and Saddam Hussein overplayed his hand, because he was — you know, he — SENIOR BUSH DID THE RIGHT THING. He knocked the heck out of him, AND THEN HE PULLED BACK, OK? He didn’t get into the quagmire. And that was OK to do.”
So which is it? Does he think that George H. W. Bush was right to pull out of Iraq quickly, as he said in the debate a few weeks ago, or does he think that was a mistake, as he said in his book which was written at the time?
As to the quote of Trump from March 25, 2003, where he expressed dismay at how the war was being waged, he was simply responding to a downturn in public opinion about the war that occurred almost immediately after it started, as this article below makes clear. As you’ll see, support for the invasion on Friday, March 21, 2003 was 78%, and 71% thought that it was going well. By Monday, March 24th, 74% still thought that military force was the right decision, but only 38 percent still thought it was going well – a crazy drop of 33% support in 3 days as people began to hear about casualties and POWs.
THAT’s what Trump was responding to when he was asked about the war on March 25, just one day later, on the day that the article below came out. It was obvious that the war was quickly becoming unpopular as people faced reality, and Trump was just pointing out that it wasn’t going well – it was “a mess” in his opinion. He was riding the wave of public sentiment.
He has NEVER shown a single shred of evidence (despite promising that there were 25 articles) to show that he was actually against the Iraq war prior to the commencement of hostilities.
