That statement was a lie. In the run-up to the invasion, one year to the day after the September 11 attacks, Trump appeared as a guest on Howard Stern’s radio show. In a conversation about terrorism, Stern asked Trump, “Are you for invading Iraq?”
“Yeah, I guess so,” Trump replied. “I wish the first time it was done correctly.”
