Guest web_norah Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Billionaire Donald Trump, famous for telling contestants "You're Fired" on his hit show "The Apprentice,"' is not happy with the Bush Administration's handling of the Iraq war.In an interview for the August edition of Esquire Magazine to be published on Friday, the magazine says he makes it clear the administration would never keep a job with him."Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we're in. I would never have handled it that way. Does anybody really believe that Iraq is going to be a wonderful democracy where people are going to run down to the voting box and gently put in their ballot and the winner is happily going to step up to lead the country?," Trump said."C'mon. Two minutes after we leave, there's going to be a revolution, and the meanest, toughest, smartest, most vicious guy will take over. And he'll have weapons of mass destruction, which Saddam didn't have," Trump said in excerpts of the interview released in advance to Reuters."The Apprentice" was one of NBC's biggest hits last season."What was the purpose of the whole thing? Hundreds and hundreds of young people killed. And what about the people coming back with no arms and no legs? Not to mention the other side. All those Iraqi kids who've been blown to pieces. And it turns out that all of the reasons for the war were blatantly wrong. All this for nothing!," Trump said.Trump also proclaims he would be "tougher" on terrorism."Bin Laden would have been caught long ago. Tell me, how is it possible that we can't find a guy who's six-foot-six and supposedly needs a dialysis machine? Can you explain that one to me? We have all our energies focused on one place, where they shouldn't be focused," he said.http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=638&ncid=762&e=5&u=/nm/20040714/en_nm/media_trump_dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest joeygk Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 Donald is such a publicity slut, but for some reason I really like him. He has this "likeable arrogance" about himself --- it's weird, but I think he's right on the money w/ his assesment of the war in Iraq....dead on actually!

Guest JMT Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 The Donald is a like a living cartoon character. i agree with joeygk, "likeable arrogance". he would crack me up with his descriptions of things on the show. everything was always "the greatest and most spectacular ___ in the world."at times he might seem like a prick, but ive heard he is a spiritual guy and is very dedicated to his kids.
