Trump: Bush impeachment would be ‘wonderful thing’
RAW STORY
(AFP) – Property mogul and diehard Republican Donald Trump told CNN on Wednesday that President George W. Bush misled the US into the Iraq War and should have been impeached when the Democrats took control of Congress in 2006.
“I was surprised that she didn’t do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush,” Trump said in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, referring to Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“It … just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which personally I think would have been a wonderful thing.”
Trump, 62, said Bush misled the United States into waging war on Iraq, a much worse offense than a dalliance with a White House intern his predecessor Bill Clinton was impeached for in 1999.
“He lied. He got us into the war with lies,” Trump said about Bush. “And I mean — look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant. And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense.
“And yet Bush got us into this horrible war with lies, by lying, by saying they had weapons of mass destruction, by saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true,” he added.
On the race for the White House, Trump said he was rooting for John McCain to win the November 4 election, and felt sure he could overtake his Democrat rival Barack Obama, whom he trails in opinion polls, in the next three weeks.
“He’s a very smart guy, he’s a tough guy,” he said. “I think he’d be a great president. But, he has to be John McCain and he could still probably pull it out.
“But, it’s going to be tough.”
McCain and Obama face off in their third and final televised debate late Wednesday in New York state.
Trump inherited a real estate empire and added an airline, casino, resorts, hotels, skyscrapers in New York, around the world and named them after himself, turning his name into a sort of brand.
He also owns a television show, “The Apprentice,” in which he appears, as well as the Miss Universe contest.

“But 81% Genius”Which makes a 100% genius whole.Bill Clinton was also in Washpa at
Washington & Jefferson college which the turn was small.
Bill Clinton and his daughter were in several places in
Washpa but no Hillary was here.
impeach!
You are right Mikael. I am an idiot.
“Me? I’m just a dumb 19%er.”
Chubby finally has come to accept the truth.
Poor Vincent.
It’s sad to see he’s still bitter after his 1972 defeat for the DA’s office to a Republican!
After all, didn’t he sucessfully try Charlie Manson for murder and won, even though Charlie never pulled a trigger or used a knife in the Tate/LaBianca murders?
Nice try Mr. Summa Cum Laude. Why not “Magna Cum Laude”? Nobody will notice or care, but if it makes you feel important, by all means, please do.
I just love slippery slope logic…
Why wasn’t Roosevelt, Truman, or Wilson tried for murder? What about LBJ?
“Hey hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?”
Let’s give LBJ a pass, after all he gave us the “Great Society” welfare state that Obama “Hopes” to expand. Never mind that 58,000 dead Americans statistic for Vietnam, thirteen times greater than Iraq.
Ohh…Bush tortures! He “waterboards”!
Hmmm…Roosevelt took enemy combatants captured out of uniform on our soil and had them shot and the Germans caught in American uniforms after the Buldge….well, he had them shot too, and the executions were broadcast live on Radio Luxemburg. I guess a firing squad would be better than Gitmo and more humane, right? I’m sure Che Guevara would agree, he was famous for that kind of justice.
100,000 Iraqis killed? That was two days work over Dresden. Billy Pilgrim, please call Trafalmadore.
One more thing. Truman dropped The Bomb, not once, twice.
Those sick, twisted American soldiers who were preparing to invade the Japanese homeland thought it was a good thing. How dare they?
Some went on to have families and produce children, isn’t that right Mikael? How selfish was that after all the lives that were snuffed out in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Yes, yes, Bush is evil, Saddam was a nice guy, and Ahmadinejad is misunderstood, just like Hitler was in the 1930s.
Let us not forget that McCain can’t use a PC (because of being tortured) and Bugliosi can’t either because…well because…umm…he’s afraid to use one. He has a phobia with modern technology.
Welcome to the world of the 96th genius percentile Andrew. With you Summa Cum Laude, you’ll fit right in.
Me? I’m just a dumb 19%er.
Good evening,obama been to Washpa at W&J and didn’t do well.
Mccain been 1 mile away at the baseballfield and he did do alot
better.Ha-Ha,I do like the Nader/Gonzalez he oes what he says,I feel he would do the people the right justice.

cover-up and excuses.The Trump has the wonderful impeachment honored,and to all this countries people.

lISTEN to Bush’s story?can he decide when he saw the crash? impeach!
And why should we should care what Donald Trump says?
Because it just goes to prove even die hard Republican billionaires can get it just as stupid & wrong as this site.
My question is why does Obama “have to be John McCain”? Can’t he just be himself and spread the wealth?
It’s so nice to hear those words come right from the jackass’s mouth. Why, the last time that phrase was popular was with Huey Long, America’s first fascist governor, who was to the left of FDR, and a little to the right of Stalin and all three were wrong.
Nader/Gonzalez?
Isn’t Nader older than McCain?….Oh, I get it. Age brings wisdom.
You better straighten out Dennis real quick Mikael or Obama might lose Pennsylvania.
A vote for Nader takes away a vote for Obama. Just might as well vote for McCain.
And why should we should care what Donald Trump says?

Impeachment absolutely,delightful twirl and I feel his
new building should have paid for by The Bush/Cheney
free of charge,and more compensation should have been given to the victims, “Free-Don-Building.True Freedom.
The 911 investigation was a Bush/Cheney scam than justice to the victims families.
I have lost all trust and support for Nancy Pelosi she’s terrible and she appears as bad as
Bush/Cheney,I feel nobody should vote ever for her and
she herself should never hold the job position.She’s made excuses and delayed the biggest issue in this country, impeachment.Trump on the Bush waste of money is agreed upon here,Bush is the worst.The Choice of impeachment is a quick pick dismount.
I feel Nader/Gonzalez would produce however a better resolution
simply would immediatly cut the ties of Bush/Cheney corruption.
impeach!
