Trump 'fine' with waterboarding In an another interview, Trump also said he would be "fine" with waterboarding Salah Abdeslam, one of the leaders of the Paris attacks several months ago who was just captured in Brussels, in order to get more information on potential future attacks.
"Well I'm not looking to break any news on your show, but frankly the waterboarding, if it was up to me, and if we changed the laws or have the laws, waterboarding would be fine," the Republican front-runner said on NBC's "Today" show. "I would say they should be able to do whatever they have to do."
"You know, we work within laws. They don't work within laws -- they have no laws. We work within laws. The waterboarding would be fine, and if they could expand the laws, I would do a lot more than waterboarding," he said.
Trump has vacillated in his campaign about whether or not he would pursue using waterboarding -- which is considered torture and thus illegal. After getting criticized by former national security officials, Trump said he would instead seek to expand the laws, presumably to make such tactics legal.

If Trump really wants to make the News, he should announce that After he is Sworn Hillary will be Arrested and Waterboarded LIVE ON TV! over the Emails and Benghazi.
I don’t disagree but evidence of such things should never reach the eyes and ears of anyone not directly involved and culpable.
Chris Plante had an excellent caller on his show. Former Iraqi amd loves the USA. He said they just laugh at the waterboarding controversy. He said.....”Do you have any idea how they torture in the M.E.?”
Dunno if you still have it on, they are still having a fit about it, playing clips and getting “experts” on the phone to tut tut about it. Hilarious what these moops believe. No wonder Wolf threw up a zero on celebrity Jeopardy. What a dope.
Placed in a cell with a starving 20 Foot Salty, anyone will talk like a auctioneer!
They’re still talking about it.
“So who does Trump want to waterboard? Has he given any examples of who he would use it on and under what circumstances?”
I’m sure he would let you know and get your approval beforehand.
Is he talking about people over here? People off shore? Take that terrorist attack in California. Say the police captured the wife alive. Is Trump talking about waterboarding her to get information? Or that neighbor that bought the guns for them. Is he a candidate for enhanced interrogation? Like so many things Trump just tosses it out there and leaves people wondering.
Well I don't want to disappoint Trump or anything but we don't have him so we can't waterboard him.
I doubt that.
Oh, OK. The Salad Dressing THEY just caught. Trump was led into the how far should we go game. Sorry I didn’t have the details correct, I was trying to comment on the CNN baiting game.
Anyone who has the information to save American lives...
Well, it’s pretty clear their families were hoarding them, as well, so he was spot on with going after families.
Islam needs a reformation, and until they do, NOBODY should be allowing any of them anywhere within their borders.
He’d waterboard you if he thought you knew anything useful.
I guess you’re safe...
Tail wagging the dog.
Until it doesn’t.
Wolfie calling out Kasich on NATO not helping with terrorism, and the clown blamed Obama and if he were President, blah blah blah.
He’s a pox on Ohio.
Heck I would go far beyond waterboarding, what is waterboarding after all, throwing some water on these terrorist scum, yeah that’s cruel and unusual, start chopping off their fingers one by one til they spill the beans, that is what I would do but hey Im not running for President
Actually I'd be safer if Trump said he was going to waterboard me specifically. Once he threatens then you know it'll never happen.
You handle them exactly like the mafia handles people.
Tie to chair. Shoot right foot. Give them a chance to talk.
If not, left foot. etc.
Work your way up.
The question most thinking Americans have been asking for a while.
What’s to wonder? I see nothing wrong with water boarding these savages. Why are you confused.
