Trump Stumbles All Over Himself When Asked a Single Foreign Policy Question by O’Reilly

AKA Why we need a president who knows SOMETHING about whats going on outside the borders of the United States.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-stumbles-all-over-himself-when-asked-a-single-foreign-policy-question-by-oreilly/

It’s not that the following question from O’Reilly Factor host Bill O’Reilly on Monday night is all that difficult to understand: “If you’re elected President, are you going to take military action against Iran?”

It just seems so damn hard to answer for Donald Trump, who bobbed, weaved, and danced his way through an assortment of stumbling responses, ultimately settling on nothing.

“Well I would want to help Saudi Arabia,” is how the real estate mogul began. But instead of responding whether or not he would in fact use military force against a nation that is currently outraged over the recent execution of a Shiite cleric, Trump veered off course towards economics instead.

He continued, “But Saudi Arabia is going to have to help us economically. They were making — before the oil went down — now they’re making half (sic). But they were making a billion dollars a day…”

O’Reilly cut Trump off, accusing him of dodging the question. After more back-and-forth that yielded sheer nonsense from the man leading the race to earn the Republican nomination, O’Reilly pressed on, saying, “Look, the election is this year. If you’re elected President, and you don’t like the [Iranian nuclear] deal, are you gonna bomb their nuclear facilities? Are you gonna do that?”

toddlers, and children, pregnant women, family pets, et al.

Also, T-rump's words to resonate across the universe as the killing machine to stomp out anyone or anything that don't worship him, the gawd of everything knowing. This a-hole is dangerous.

In other words, a typical GOP.

who showed the world on live TV that he didn't have a fucking clue as to what the 'nuclear triad' was. But the mouth breathers who hang on his every one-syllable (or less) word don't care - he's their guy. He 'tells it like it is'. Pathetic doesn't begin to describe it.

That is his default position on pretty much every subject.
