He is a "moderate" on foreign policy (not a Cheney/Bush war hawk)
Which is hogwash, because at the time Trump went along with the Iraq war just like everybody else, of course:
In the interview, which took place on Sept. 11, 2002, Stern asked Trump directly if he was for invading Iraq.
"Yeah, I guess so," Trump responded. "I wish the first time it was done correctly."

So actually, um yeah, he was a "Cheney/Bush war hawk" just like the rest of them.
- mauvia 2y agoThat really doesn't make your point. "I guess so" is the absolute opposite of what a hawk would say. "I guess so" is what the comment you're replying to is still implying he'd say. I have no idea if they edited this in later or you removed it but just pointing this out: > not a 60's style pacifist

- aguaviva 2y agoThe part you need to focus on is where he says: "I wish the first time it was done correctly."
