Poängen är att Trump ljuger hela tiden, i stort som smått. I debatten hävdade han att han var emot kriget i Irak trots att det finns inspelningar från Howard Stern där han på en direkt fråga säger att han stöder invasionen av Irak. Jag bryr mig inte om Trump var för eller emot, det intressanta är att han ljuger. Trump är en notorisk lögnare.
Vilket datum var den intervjun ifrån?
I Demokraternas egna interna research om Trump (finns i Podesta mailen) sammanfattar man hans syn på Irakkriget så här:

Trump Stated That He Wanted To Fire The Bush Administration For Its Decision To Invade Iraq And That “All Of The Reasons For The War Were Blatantly Wrong.” “Billionaire Donald Trump, America's toughest employer, would like to fire the Bush Administration for its decision to invade Iraq, according to an interview in the August edition ‘Esquire,’ due to be released on Friday. ‘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?,’ said the host of NBC's ‘The Apprentice,’ whose hallmark line is ‘You're fired.’ ‘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, making the real estate mogul a well-known entity to TV viewing audiences. ‘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.” [Reuters, 7/14/04]
