Donald Trump believes the moment an Iraqi reporter thew a shoe at George W. Bush and Bush didnt blink may have been his best moment if you want to know the truth, that is very sad to say.
Trump appearing on the Hugh Hewitt Show Wednesday stated that if Jorge Ramos, who interrupted Trump Tuesday had a microphone, he would have blasted everyone out of the room since he was shouting so loud.
Hugh Hewitt: Yeah what he did, it was not professional. Ive been doing this for 25 years. It wasnt professional, but it wasnt professional for him and it was also very successful for you because of the way you handled it. And I was actually reminded, do you remember when the Iraqi threw the shoe at George W. Bush and he didnt blink and he just carried on?
Donald Trump: Yes.
Hewitt: Thats what it reminded me of and you see why?
Trump: Well that may have been his best moment if you want to know the truth, that is very sad to say. But the truth is, I didnt think in terms of television. I just said you know, Who is this guy that is screaming. I dont think I think when youre doing a lot of live television, you dont necessarily think that you are on live television, but that was live all over the place. And I just thought it was inappropriate. The first thing I thought was it was really unfair because there was so many people, with good, sitting with their hands up, wanting to ask questions and this man was standing up and really shouting quite loud. Now you didnt hear the extent of it because he didt have a microphone. Had he had a microphone on and yet you still heard him because he was shouting so loud.
Hewitt: Yeah.
Trump: But if he had a microphone, he would have blasted everyone out of the room. So, it worked out fine. And it probably was good for him. And actually at the end, by the time we finished, I mean I didt think he was such a bad guy. Im glad I invited him back because I think maybe I would have been criticized if I didnt invite him back because you know some people, you know the concept of getting him out, which people didnt mind but I think they wanted him back. So it was an interesting evening, that I can tell you.

Sounds like he doesn’t like the Bushes very much.
Or, the only strategy that makes sense for him is bashing G.W. and tying Jeb to him.
It was really a horrible breach of security and the Iraqi should have been shot. If it was ZEro, he would have been.
Dude has some good ducking skills.
Yessir, As does Trump LOL
I thought Bush did a good job playing dodge.
I liked GWB as a person, didn’t agree with all of his policies, however.
I still like W he was so quick on his feet that day it was like a big f u to the shoe tosser
I agree. W is a seemingly likable guy. Doesn’t change the fact that he screwed us over majorly whilst in office.
If someone through a shoe, or some other object like a dil8o, at obama i wouldn’t feel so bad.
I wouldn’t feel like they are disrespecting the office. obama has disgraced the office.
Can someone please throw a 8ildo at obama’s head. :)
With the looping animated gif, it looks like the guy brought the whole shoe store with him to lob at Bush. :-)
Regardless, the military and/or SS should never have allowed that to happen, PR imaging aside. It could have been a grenade. And we had that sumbitch war won when Zero came in and unraveled everything. Read Michael Yon’s war memos.
