Disaster Politics–Trump Says He Doesn’t Need To Know World Leaders–He’ll Learn On The Job [Picture, Video]
Donald Trump continues to battle his principle opponent in this Republican nomination process: the “gotcha question.” Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola (Think Tank), Jimmy Dore, (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), and Brian Unger (All Things Considered), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“After signing the RNC’s loyalty pledge on Thursday afternoon, Donald Trump called into the radio show of conservative host Hugh Hewitt, who will serve as one of the moderators at this month’s GOP debate on CNN.
Asked if he thinks General Soleimani’s behavior will change with the Iran nuclear deal, Trump went off on tangent about how “incompetent” the deal is without answering the question at hand.
Soon, Hewitt was asking Trump to weigh in on Hassan Nasrallah, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Abu Mohammad al-Julani and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. “Do you know the players without a scorecard, yet, Donald Trump?” he asked.
On this point, Trump admitted that he did not, but only because “by the time we get to office, they’ll all be changed, they’ll be all gone.”
“As far as the individual players, of course I don’t know them,” Trump added. “I’ve never met them. I haven’t been, you know, in a position to meet them.” (Neither has anyone else in the U.S. government, but that’s apparently irrelevant.) “If, if they’re still there, which is unlikely in many cases, but if they’re still there, I will know them better than I know you.””*SOURCE
