Trump: Teaparties have a point, OPEC destroyed econmy, Nothing's done to S. Arabia after 9/11

KING: We're back with Donald Trump. His book, "Think Like a Champion,"

...

TRUP: When the economy starts getting better, you will have an OPEC problem. They'll just start raising the price of oil again and destroy the economy... I also happen to think that $150 oil destroyed the world economically.

And as soon as the world comes back, OPEC will raise its ugly head and destroy it again. So somebody better sit -- and I hope it's our president -- somebody better sit down with OPEC right now and say, "Listen, we're going to straighten this mess out, but you're not going to destroy it for us again."

KING: But you're not going to march with the tea party?

TRUMP: I don't march with the tea party. But I'll tell you what, they have a good point, because when you see the kind of money that this country is -- to use a horrible expression, Larry, I know you've never heard this -- but that this country is pissing away, I can understand where they're coming from.

[...] Saddam Hussein did not knock down the World Trade Center. I could tell you another country that had a lot more to do with it that we don't do anything about.

KING: Which is?

TRUMP: You know who I'm talking about.

KING: Say it.

TRUMP: You know who I'm talking about?

Well, it seemed that all of the folks went back to Saudi Arabia... They put their wives on the planes. They all went back to Saudi Arabia.

KING: They got out fast.

All right, we...

TRUMP: And we -- we attack Iraq.

Well, WE should have kept the ownership of the Iraqi Oil fields too. But yeah, we should go and take over the Saudi Fields, because far too much of that oil money is fueling hatred worldwide.
