Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump has condemned the killing of Saddam Hussein of Iraq and Moamer Ghadafi of Libya, saying that the world would be a better place if dictators they were still in power, top Republican US presidential hopeful Donald Trump said in comments aired Sunday.
Speaking during a rally at the Expo Hall of the Richmond International Raceway, the billionaire real estate tycoon said: “People are getting their heads chopped off. They’re being drowned. Right now it’s far worse than ever under Saddam Hussein or Gaddafi. I mean, look what happened. Libya is a catastrophe. Libya is a disaster. Iraq is a disaster. Syria is a disaster. The whole Middle East. It all blew up around Hillary Clinton and around Obama. It blew up.”
Calling Iraq the “Harvard of terrorism,” Trump said the country had turned into a “training ground for terrorists,” adding: “If you look at Iraq from years ago, I’m not saying he (Saddam) was a nice guy. He was a horrible guy but it’s better than it is now.”
Trump said his foreign policy strategy would be centered around beefing up the US military.
“All I know is this: we’re living in Medieval times … We’re living in an unbelievably dangerous and horrible world,” Trump said.
“The Trump doctrine is simple. It’s strength. It’s strength. Nobody is going to mess with us. Our military will be made stronger.” [myad]
