I agree. He went full Code Pink. And he is trying to have it both ways, like his pal Hillary. It’s really disgusting. And it wasn’t a necessary fight or argument to have. But he wanted it. He doubled down on it. And now that there is proof that he favored the war, his own words, he says it doesn’t matter because he wasn’t a politician then. Well, that’s still not the point. If you say you never favored something, then an accurate recording is produced that says you did, the best you can say is you didn’t remember it that way. But he’d rather undermine the former Republican president and use Code Pink/Michael Moore propaganda. Why? Because at heart he knows the left wing talking points. But he hasn’t taken the time to know the truth.
Please get me the link to Trump saying he was for the second Iraq war.
No I don’t support lying which is why I ask for the link. Lying is wrong regardless of who does it and a partial truth such as representing a 17 year old fact as being current if it is not is still a lie. Way too much “almost true” have been posted. It hurts the one posting it as well as those who read it as true.

In a word
Oui
January 28, 2003 he did say on Cavuto that perhaps he (Bush) shouldn't be doing it that our economy was a bigger problem. That was the only anti war pre war comment publicly available that I have found.
I was against the Iraq war and only my family and friends can verify every time I said it. I supported Desert Storm and Afghanistan again only family and friends know what I said. I am a private citizen as was he then.
It would appear that Trump is going to win SC and it will be yuge. :-)
Yes, you and I are private citizens, and we’re not prominent citizens, like Trump. Here is the thing. I’m less troubled that he appears to have supported than that he’s using the war to cudgel George W. Bush for no apparent reason. Moreover, he says Bush knew there were no WMD present. How did Bush know that when his own CIA director assured him they were? I know first hand that the US Army believed the chemical weapons were there, and I know that we did find over 200 chemical weapons. The topic need not be one for Trump to bring up, to bring up with venom and malice, and to smear another man. So I don’t give Trump a pass. He’s mean-spirited and obnoxious.
And you frequently voice that opinion and until the libs kill the 1st Amendment you are free to do so. I have the same freedom.
I wish all the negativity would end but then only Bernie is promising us unicorns and perfect happiness. /s
