Trump supported the war with Iraq when it began:

In a 2002 interview with Howard Stern, Trump was directly asked if he would support the invasion of Iraq, which didn't begin until March 2003. "Yeah, I guess so," Trump responded. "I wish the first time it was done correctly."

That doesn't make Trump special. The Iraq war was authorized by Congress and supported by leaders of both parties. The Iraq war authorization is still in effect and there's currently no movement to change that.


Furthermore, Trump has bristled at the idea of Iraq ordering US Troops to leave the country, vowing to put heavier sanctions on Iraq than he has on Iran.

Mr. Trump, after the strike, told associates he was under pressure to deal with Gen. Soleimani from GOP senators he views as important supporters in his coming impeachment trial in the Senate, associates said.


That;s from the WSJ.


So it appears he ordered Iraq's biggest civilian airport attacked to avoid negotiating with Soleimani.

Trumpsters of Polish descent despise their kinfolk for starting WWII and hope Putin occupies the country to keep the warlike Poles in check.

Trumpsters of Korean descent (there may be only one) share his admiration of KIm Jong Un for making Koreans grovel before him.

Trumpsters admire Trump's babyish pouting over not getting a Nobel Peace Prize. They think he should get a Nobel Peace Prize immediately after he bombed a civilian airport. In fact, they believe he should get a Nobel prize every year. After all Obama got one so Trump needs to get more than that.
