Trump slams Iraq invasion, after first supporting it

“Yeah, I guess so”, Trump told Stern when asked directly.

Audio from the interview was unearthed by Buzzfeed News and posted online Thursday hours before Trump took the stage for a CNN town hall.

“I don’t like fighting with the Pope”, Trump said at a GOP town hall in SC hosted by CNN.

“You know, I wish the first time it was done correctly”, he added in the interview.

Throughout his campaign the business mogul has touted his early opposition to the war, saying that he predicted that it would bring chaos.

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump proclaims in almost every stump speech that he had the “vision” to oppose the US’ invasion of Iraq in 2003. Or anyone else Trump has attacked on the campaign trail.

TRUMP: You could see I was not exactly strongly in favor. And I was in the private sector. So I’m not a politician. “I was like ‘I don’t know, maybe, maybe.’ You know it was very tepid”, he said.

In another Friday-morning interview, Trump was also pressed about the BuzzFeed report. I was, as they say, world-class businessperson.

The pontiff said recently that a candidate who wants to deport undocumented immigrants and build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border was ” not Christian”, referring to Trump’s proposals on his way back to the Vatican from Mexico. “I think he heard one side of the story, which was probably by the Mexican government”, he said.

“Yeah, I guess so”, he hedged.

He expressed frustration with the frenetic pace of presidential politics and noted how important it is to “slow down” and listen to people in need.

But moments like the one he’d shared with the young man at his town hall have helped Kasich break through even without the star power of a Donald Trump.

Kasich’s parents were killed by a drunk driver.

“It’s all been decided, apparently”, Bush said in frustration. “Yeah, I speak Spanish”, he said, and briefly demonstrated.

His most memorable line of the night was about his brother George W. Bush’s painting hobby, which he pronounced “weird”.

The experience of falling for Columba – “the most attractive girl I had ever met in my life” – Bush said, was like being hit with a “lightning bolt”.
