I hate to be on the same side as Code Oink on any issue. I supported going to war in Iraq on the basis of Saddam Hussein flagrantly breaking a long series of UN resolutions as well as cheating on the sanctions for many years while enriching himself. Having said that, I can’t disagree with Trump that many lives were lost, billions of dollars were spent (borrowed money, not budgeted), and the US has nothing to show for it, except for more ongoing problems in the ME and lots more debt.
” billions of dollars were spent (borrowed money, not budgeted)”
TRILLIONS, an estimated 3 to 5 TRILLION so far and still going, they can’t even estimate the cost to within 2 TRILLION dollars!!!!!

Saying that the Iraq war didnt work out well is very different than saying Bush LIED to start it and implying that Bush was responsible for 911.
