Trump slams Bush on Iraq

President Bush, you should be fired. The Donald has turned thumbs down on the President's war in Iraq, calling it a "mess."

"What was the purpose of the whole thing?" Donald Trump asks in an Esquire interview. "Hundreds of young people killed. And what about the people coming back with no arms and no legs?"

"The Apprentice" star said it's folly to think Iraq can be turned into a "wonderful democracy."

The real estate baron said if he were President, Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden "would have been caught long ago."

"Tell me, how is it possible that we can't find a guy who's 6-foot-6 and supposedly needs a dialysis machine?" Trump said. "Can you explain that one to me? We have all our energies focused on one place - where they shouldn't be focused."

Trump, a Republican, has flirted with the idea of running for President.

If he bothered to follow the news instead of spending so much time frizzin his 38 hairs he'd know that story about the dialysis was dismissed long ago.

Trump, of all people, should know better than to swallow the media misrepresentation of everything hook, line, and sinker... but, apparantly, he has.

Let's see. A mass murdering tyrant who gassed entire towns of thousand of Iraqis and was filling mass graves at the rate of 16,000 a year. He tortured millions, had hands and heads chopped off, tongues cut out, people fed through plastic shredders and dipped in vats of acid.

But Trump can't see the "purpose". Trump need help.

LOL! I don't know how old you are, but back in the 50's there was this hazey gold and silver crap they used to sell to drape all over your Christmas tree, if you really wished to make your tree look tacky. I think it was called angel hair. Trump's head looks like a pile of that nasty stuff. Trump is a fraud. The man is constantly in debt. He's an American fake. Most Americans look at him as a huge joke.

Stay out of the wind, Donald.
