Donald Trump, Truth-Teller

Click here for an article by Jonathan Chait in New York magazine entitled "Crazy Nut Donald Trump Thinks George W. Bush Was President on 9/11."

Trump claimed in the South Carolina campaign that Bush failed to take action which might have prevented 9/11 -- refuting the previously unanimous Republican position that George W. Bush "Kept Us Safe." He also claimed that the Bush administration knew there were no WMDs in Iraq but lied about it to bolster support for the invasion they wanted to make. (Chait doesn't go that far; he says rather that they relied on faulty intelligence, but repeatedly cherry-picked and manipulated ambiguous information to justify invasion.)
