MODERATOR: Mr.Trump, you assert the claim that President Bush's actions in Iraq earlier this year, despite achieving the goal of liberating Kuwait from Iraqi aggression, was disastrous for the United States. Do you care to explain what you mean by that?
TRUMP: I believe you're misconstruing my words, sir. It was a great achievement for our country, and I'm glad that Kuwait can still be free. The problem is that the President has been focused on foreign adventures like these, and he completely ignores what the American people need. He breaks promises too, like, remember what he said during the convention in '88? "Read my lips:no new taxes", I believe he said. What do we get after that? New taxes! He broke his promise there, so what other promises will be break next? I'm running for President because I believe we need someone in the White House that won't break their promises, like President Bush did here.
