Rumsfeld said:
So then you look at the two choicesand as I look at Mrs. Clinton, I find her unacceptable as a presidential prospect. She is clearly corrupt. She is clearly on the wrong side of every major threat we face. She would represent another four years of the Obama administration. Can you imagine President Obama went to the Coast Guard Academy and said that the major threat facing the young graduates at the Coast Guard Academy was global warming? Thats breathtaking. I think of that and Ive spoken to the Academies over the years and what an unfortunate thing to tell those people. Its a different kind of a problem. In any event, I dont think we can afford another four or eight years of what weve been doing.
On Trump, however, Rumsfeld noted he does disagree with the billionaire real estate developer on some thingsparticularly Trumps viewpoints on the war in Iraqbut that their agreements far outweigh their disagreements. He said he clearly supports Trump for president and hopes that he wins the election in November

For those who don’t know and may think he just acts like he might have been in the Military, he WAS in the Military and was a fighter pilot.
As Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld stood watching as tens of millions or foreigners entered this country illegally, during war time yet. While at the same time stood by and watched his boss import more Muslims after 911 than entered in the previous two decades. No more 10 year long compassionate multi-trillion dollar wars, where American only win the job and expense of rebuilding their countries, while they fell into decline. We’re broke and can no longer continue follow these stupid punitive reckless policies as Rumsfeld did for his boss.
Those days are coming to an end.

Yes.
There was too much precious American blood spilled over there. We can make more money, we can get more going, but we cannot get those lives back.
Post #18 ~ Great points by Rumsfeld. ~ He has my respect, as well...
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. ~ George Orwell
Good post. Thank you.
LOL - "breathtaking' to say the least... I miss Rumsfeld ...
I greatly respect Donald Rumsfeld’s service to the USA.
Rumsfeld did an interview with Dana Perrino on Faux where he made those comments....couple of weeks ago.
By the way your title is incorrect so Rumsfeld endorses the Donald
All hot wars the US has gotten into have been reconstruction wars, except when the politics or logistics did not permit a victory to happen.
Iraq needed a democracy like a fish needed a bicycle. The model that the Shah of Iran had provided was the optimal one for that kind of country. Get a friendly ruler in there and then prop him up by all means, but don’t try to get the Islamic mind to understand democracy.
There’s a limit to how much America can hope to “police the freedom of the world.”
Donald Rumsfeld was always an America firster so good for him. He just made some mistakes along the way. Guys his age grew up patriotic and he is remembering this.
I am sure Rumsfeld is against Obama/Hillary’s open borders policies. He knows by now that free trade has been a disaster for America that has made China into a military and economic threat. That self-enriching, Inside_The_Beltway, traitors negotiated these sell out trade deals such as GATT and NAFTA and TPP.
Getting Islamic countries involved in war was a bigger danger than we were ready for. Most other enemies were pretty frank about what they wanted. They hated honestly and they surrendered honestly.
Islamic people at war with us have been weasels. It’s in their holy writings.
But we cant fight any old fight anywhere. We no longer have the substance to be able to do it.
>> He is a known known.
A brilliant man, and I love the quote you obliquely referenced.
Rummy’s no dummy....
Ive been re-reading Rumsfelds book Known and Unknown. Its an extraordinary recording of an amazing career of service during difficult times. God bless this man.
What's "holy" about schizophrenic exhortations to mass murder?
I miss Secretary Rumsfeld. I miss the days when we had adults in the administration.
