Dave Molesworth: Trump points out Republican foreign policy blunders

The Manchurian candidate has done it again, making an argument in support of Democrats views.

While speaking at the last Republican debate, Don Trump rips the Bush-Cheney administration and characterizes them as a monumental disaster who left the world in chaos. He goes on to say the $4 trillion in taxpayer dollars should have been invested in our infrastructure. Instead, those funds went to the industrial military complex; publicly traded American companies who design and manufacture weapons of war then sell them to the Defense Department.

Dick Cheney’s company, Halliburton, made over $38 billion in profits from the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Trump also mentions the loss of innocent life due to poor Republican leadership. Arguably, it was the worst American foreign policy of our time. Now we’ve been bombing Muslims for 20 years with no end in sight and we wonder why it’s so easy for ISIS to recruit.

The importance of Trump calling out his own party is and that his opinion is based on facts that rarely get into the closed information loop that most Republican voters are in; they have a difficult time agreeing on established facts and admitting when they are wrong.
