Donald Trump On Iraq Oil: America Should Take It, ‘To The Victor Belongs The Spoils’

Video
» 33 comments

In the brand new “Mondays with Trump” segment of Fox & Friends, potential Republican candidate for President and consistent headline seeker Donald Trump called in and shared his thoughts on the latest topics in the news. Proving that anything goes in the segment, Trump discussed everything from promoting Celebrity Apprentice in one moment, to his plans for Iraqi oil in the next.

Trump spoke highly about Republicans Paul Ryan and John Boehner and their efforts to get the federal budget under control. Yet on a lighter and more entertaining note, Trump commented on reports that Oprah Winfrey desires having him as a guest for a makeover on one of her last shows. Trump joked, “I’m worried about a sinister plot. The plot is that Oprah supported Obama, maybe she wants to give me a makeover so that I would not have even a minor chance against Obama.”

Also Trump really enjoyed appearing with Bill O’Reilly last week, saying he received “an amazing response from the O’Reilly show, it’s probably the biggest show he’s ever done in the sense of three fairly full nights of me, and he was very happy, as he will tell you his ratings were phenonmenal.” Gretchen Carlson couldn’t help but let out a chuckle at Trump’s unabashed promotion. Finally Trump didn’t back down from earlier statements on Iraq, suggesting American soldiers will have died in vain if we leave Iraq and let Iran go and take the oil fields, instead of us as the victors getting the spoils.

    so i guess the whole “we’re not going to have presidential candidates on our payroll” thing kinda went out the window huh? Oh well, let’s see if trump can bankrupt news corp this time like all of his other investments.

  • THE REAL ROYAL KING

    But, the Donald. We were merely part of a broad international coalition. We would have to divide the oil with all of these other countries? You didn’t know that? You don’t watch FOX “News”?

    If anyone could do it …!

    I think think of so many reasons why this would be a good precedent to set for all other nations.

  • fallenchicken

    Jesus Christ. It’s like Donald Trump is running to make Newt Gingrich look good.

    It’s almost working…

  • THE REAL ROYAL KING

    That’s a great still of the Stooges. It looks like they have all been on the Adkins Diet for a couple of weeks and the constipation has set in.

    Keep bringing on “the crazy”, Donald. I admire the way you’re tarnishing the GOP brand. (Not, it’s in good shape, anyway.)

  • writer

    Trump just says whatever he thinks without going through a staff of writers or checking all the polls first. The media is right. That’s very un-presidential.

    Amazing. “To the victor belongs the spoils?” He should start showing up to all his interviews dressed like a Roman general riding in a horse-drawn gold plated chariot. He can say “You’re fired” before he cuts people’s heads off. I think the only one that can save us from this is Vince McMahon.

  • Cory Rodriguez

    Bootom Line…the only reason Donald Trump has money is due to the fact that his many companies have been allowed to file for bankruptcy over and over again. This man had the nerve to brag that he cheated Gadafi out of money… shame on him, he should have never done business with him in the first place.
    Trump will pimp out the USA to the highest bidder without thinking twice about it.

    He would look terrible in those short shorts the legionaires wore. It would be Bristol Palin and DWTS all over again.

    Do you think there is some risk that at some point people might say, “He/She/It is too crazy. We can’t hold the Republican Party responsible for he/she/it.”? Not just the Donald …. The Drop Out Governor, Batty Bachmann, the Newt, &c, &c.

  • Doeidgrl

    Donald Trump is a greedy birther..He’s also a sell out and should change his name to Donald Chump. He belongs with the other idiotic liars on Fox “news”.

    To be fair ” The Donald” said it should be shared with the Brits, before the rest is ls left for Iran to take.

    In response to a previous post, I pointed out that Palin and Huckabee seem to be publicly distancing themselves from a potential run and that what sets them apart from Gingrich and Santorum.

    In that same comment, I theorized that Trump had probably told Ailes that he wasn’t serious and that was why he was hired, but unless he stops saying he’s a potential candidate and referencing his “chance”, FNC will be left with little choice.

    Donald Trump/ Michael Weiner 2014

    S: But, Donald, if you were the chief executive of the United States of America, would you do some of the more controversial things that I’ve called for such as, let’s go to Iraq. Many men lost lives, lost limbs, lost eyes, we lost our national honor in many ways for what? They’re sitting on a sea of oil, they’ve never given us a free barrel of oil. George Bush said they would pay us back though oil. We never got one free barrel. Don’t you think for example, Iraq owes us a few hundred million barrels of oil in exchange for how many billions we spent there?

    T: Iraq has 15 trillion dollars of oil sitting under its land, people don’t realize. After Saudi Arabia, they’re the second nation for oil. Now, we’ve spent a trillion and a half, OK?

    S: Yeah.

    T: They should pay us back. They should pay us back. Now I don’t know if that’s necessarily the greatest example, only because it’s not lie Iraq is, I don’t know, a lot of people would say, did we really do them a favor. If you go over there, it’s a total mess. Which, by the way, Iran will take over as soon as we leave. What we’ve done in Iraq is unbelievable.

    You see people , Republican party is all about evil deeds. USA went to invade iraq to Liberate Kurds who are their allies , not to rule Iraq ,President Bush once thought he’d be a President forever that he floated alot of money inside banks and on battlegrounds in Iraq.Hanging Saddam Hussein was not the plan it was a cowardly and criminal act of President Bush .Donald Trump you have no good history of your riches you earned in nineties.You earned it all by Frauding Americans and stealing the poor labour force , later stealing mortgage clients ,now its enough you can’t steal a nation .If you’re a crap it would be good for your own nation that has given life to you since you were born not Iraq , Iraq is a nation of Arabs and it has always been a battleground and the war has not yet ended , so the question about spoils is going to be settled once Libyan war ends.America , when will be poor and almost 40% of its Permanent Nationals commit suicides . Trump the days of your Triump of frauds are gone swimming on the sea.

    So Ailes is complicit in Trump’s silly money-making scheme? Hell of a news man ya got there!

  • Barack Must Go

    I don’t think we’ve got a Christian’s chance in Kabul of getting anything, especially oil from the Iranians, oops Iraqis, although the Donald is on the right track.

    When Trump becomes president in 2012 he could initiate a business concept to the country wherby we export the might and democracy around the world the same as we did before, you know who blew into town. Only now we employ outside ( the government ) accounting firms to handle the due diligence needed to ensure We the People not only do not lose money, lives and standing in the world, we work on a 25% profit margin minimum. You need protection, we’re your country.

    All countries requesting an estimate must be fully vetted by a group of ” real ” Americans before negotiations even begin.

    We, not the president, will decide who is and who is not worthy of our services.

    Oh yeah, and we go back to shoot first, ask questions later. If you ( so called collateral damage ) are in the wrong place, at the wrong time you really aren’t collateral damage after all. American lives will not be sacrificed for someones stupidity ever again.

    Once we get this program off the ground we’ll start going through America state by state ( starting with California ), town by town and even house by house if need be to ensure the safety and well being of ALL ” real ” Americans, so this country can return to simply being the United State of America…..not he united color of Benetton ( sharia, radical islam, etc ), as has been forced upon us in recent years.

    I’m sure Ailes is in it for the headlines and ratings.
    He may be political, but he’s also running a business.

    And since I’m back in here, on the subject of Iraqi oil…

    Bill O’Reilly has pointed out that an attempt to seize their oil would be a diplomatic nightmare and as I mentioned in a comment, it’d also be a violation of international law.

    That crap doesn’t fly anymore among ” real ” Americans, but nice try.The left wing bomb throwing America haters are on the wrong side of history and God ( or would you prefer allah ) this time around.

    When supposedly everyman, ordinary muslims chop off heads of innocent folks, simply because they’re pissed off about something changes everything. By the way, I hear France is lovely this time of year…….bon voyage.

    What a remarkably ignorant thing to say. In Texas, Toll Booth Perry spends the state into a US $27B – US $34B deficit and teachers are being fired, classrooms sizes are soaring, mental health institutions are throwing people out, parental planning services are disappearing, the elderly are facing huge assistance cuts, and he’s on the right side of history and of God?

    Paul Ryan proposes a budget which effectively terminates Medicare, jeopardizing quality of life and length of life, and he’s on the right side of history and of God?

    And, all this time I remember the Gospel According to St. Matthew, Chapter 25 , and the Gospel According to St. Mark, Chapter 7, were part of the charge to the faithful. And what of the Gospel According to St. John the Divine, Chapter 21? Has the Church misled us all this time? Ought it have been teaching us from St. Rick the Sanctimonious and St. Paul the Parsimonious? Is the correct teaching “Give unto those who have so they shall have more?” Is this your God?

    Still going with the “brand new” meme… even though it’s not true?

    Surprised, I am not.

    You’re kidding right? Manifest destiny is what got you in to the war in Iraq and now you want to declare war on even MORE countries. USA is already involved in 3 wars and you want your own country to lose more soldiers for nothing? I take it you’re against Obama due to your name and views that you share. Don’t you know that he’s trying to impose democracy on Libya right now? That’s something you want. But hey, he’s a lefty and he’s black so you probably think that he’s a bad guy anyway.

    And you know that declaring war on countries to get more democracy in the world gets you more hated right? More terrorists and more intolerance… More intolerance leads to muslims finding it harder to get jobs in the states, and therefore they’re seen as “less worthy” because they can’t get jobs, and it keeps going down in an evil spiral…

    Are there really so many dipshits that agree with you or are you using multiaccounts to look more “liked”?
