The “Trump lie” that he was always against the Iraq war angers them the most, because, Trump appeals to the same voters they do. But, they were against the war, before they for the war, before they were against the war, before they lost the war.
It is not a lie about Trump and the war.
The invasion began in March of 2003.
Trump was asked way BEFORE on September 11, 2002 if he supported invading Iraq. He could only must an “I guess so.”
If I ask my wife, “Do you want me to paint the kitchen dark green?” and she answers “I guess so.”, then I know that she’s still in thinking mode and I’d be stupid to go buy dark green paint.
Trump had 6 MONTHS to solidify his position on Iraq, and he came down against an invasion. Shortly after the invasion, he clearly was opposed.
But, you ask just about anyone on the FIRST ANNIVERSARY of 9/11, what they think about an invasion of Iraq, and they’d have given a resounding yes. Not a “guess so”.
