'Single Worst Decision': Trump Goes After Bush On Iraq War
- 6 years ago
President Trump reportedly slammed George W. Bush over the Iraq war.
President Trump has reportedly called former President George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq "the single worst decision ever made."
According to CNN, Trump made the comment during a speech he gave at a private fundraising event at Mar-a-Lago Saturday.
The news outlet, which says it obtained a recording of his remarks, goes on to reveal that the current president launched into the attack by saying, "Here we are, like the dummies of the world, because we had bad politicians running our country for a long time."
And, after blasting the decision to invade Iraq and comparing it to "throwing a big fat brick into a hornet's nest," Trump reportedly said, "That was Bush. Another real genius. That was Bush. That turned out to be wonderful intelligence. You know? Great intelligence agency there."
His comments echo those his administration has made before, calling the invasion "one of the greatest foreign policy mistakes in American history."
The statement was issued last November in response to Bush's criticisms of Trump in his book "The Last Republicans."
Nevertheless, some have pointed out that Trump had previously expressed his support of the move into Iraq before eventually changing his position.
