Why does Ben Meiselas say Trump is haunted by his own war‑time statements?
As Donald Trump is bloodthirsty for war in the Middle East to prove that he's a tough guy while the entire world realizes how weak
and
utterly pathetic he is, there's always a social media post or tweet from the past or video showing what a complete and utter fraud he is. But that shouldn't shock you. He is a complete and utter phony and fraud. Let's go back to the debates from the Republican presidential debates back in 2015, 2016. Remember when Donald Trump said the following to Jeb Bush as the Tennessee holler says, oh, maybe someone should show him these clips. Here, play this clip. They lied. They said there
were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake. All right. Now, you can take it any way you want. And it took it took Jeb Bush. If you remember at the beginning of his announcement, when he announced the president took him five days, he went back. It was a mistake. It wasn't a mistake. Took him five days before his people told him what to say. And he ultimately said it was a mistake. The war in Iraq, we spent $2 trillion, thousands of lives. We don't even have it. Iran is taking over Iraq with the second largest oil reserves in the world. Obviously, it was a mistake. So George Bush made a mistake.
We can make mistakes. But that one was a beauty. We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized Iraq. The Middle East.
What past debate clips reveal Trump’s claims about weapons of mass destruction?
So you still think he should be impeached? I think it's my turn. You do whatever you want. You call it whatever you want. I want to tell you, they lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Okay, all right, go.
Our team at the Midas Touch Network compiled this montage of clips showing that Donald Trump campaigned in 2024 and before as well on stopping endless wars. He would slam the Middle East conflicts and he would boast that he's the one who would stop World War III. Play this clip.
These globalists want to squander all of America's strength, blood, and treasure, chasing monsters and phantoms overseas. In addition, there must also be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire globalist neocon establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad. We should have never gone into the Middle East. We should have never gone into the Middle East. Under my leadership, we will turn the page forever on those foolish, stupid days of never-ending wars.
We're rebuilding our military stronger than ever before, and we are not going to deplete it again on stupid, senseless, endless wars.
World War III has never been closer than it is right now. We need to clean house of all of the warmongers and America last globalist in the deep state. I am the president who delivers peace. I was the first president in decades who didn't start a war. And the worst, most incompetent, most corrupt president in history is going to drag us into World War III. And this horrible, horrible president is dragging us toward World War III. We're going to be in World War III soon. Because I think we would have been good with Iran. I don't want to do anything bad to Iran. Large sections of the Middle East. I mean, look at the death and destruction that's taken place. And none of this would have happened if I were president.
Our opponents joined with warmongers and neocons to wage endless wars, these wars that never end. Together we're fighting to secure our borders, end the endless foreign wars, and defend the working people of America. But the Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan and across the country want a stop to the endless wars and a return to peace in the Middle East. That's all they want. Speaking of World War III, I'll keep you out of World War III. What would happen if we had a war? We won't. with me, but you will have World War III, I believe, without me, but we won't have. I will be sure that World War III will not happen.
