Donald Trump: I 'Screwed' Gaddafi (VIDEO)

Billionaire potential Republican presidential aspirant Donald Trump claimed on Monday that he once took part in a subversive plan to undermine Muammar Gaddafi's power in Libya, an effort that has since become an international mission.

"I think I probably have more experience of anybody -- whether I sell them real estate for tremendous amounts of money. I mean, I've dealt with everybody," the billionaire real-estate mogul told Fox News Monday morning, touting his supposed foreign policy credentials. "And by the way, I can tell you something else. I dealt with Gaddafi. I rented him a piece of land. He paid me more for one night than the land was worth for two years, and then I didn't let him use the land."

"That's what we should be doing. I don't want to use the word 'screwed', but I screwed him," Trump continued. "That's what we should be doing."

In 2009, Trump came under scrutiny for renting property to Gaddafi so that he could pitch a Bedouin-style tent in an upscale New York suburb. Trump claimed ignorance in the matter, saying that he was unaware that his land had been rented to the dictator. After a day of controversy, Trump reportedly forced Gaddafi off the property.

I guess once you commit a fraud it becomes easier to be a birther.

Besides contributing to a horrible image of Realtors, landlords and developers, somewhere around used cars salesmen and congressmen "screwing people", did he admit to committing a felony?

If kadafy is delinquent any person that not complaint him is accomplice. More precise, Donald trump is receiving bribes from Kadafi. http://huff.to/g1gIOE

Gaddafi seems mentally ill, they say possibly from syphilis, lets hope Trump didn't use a condom and gets it too. Would explain some of his recent statements.

In what twisted version of reality does Trump think this speaks well of his character and integrity? Then again, what else should we expect from the son of a slumlord?

There is nothing about Donald that is not phony, including his so-called fortune. He is the best evidence that the secret to success (or perceived success in his case ) is to be the brashest most brazen BSer around.

Is he bragging or complaining? He ought to be embarassed and ashamed. Is this the type of BUSINESS man that should be running for the Highest Office in the Land? Regardless of what Gaddaffi is or did, if he entered into a business venture, shouldn't he have conducted it with integrity and honesty? Where are the morals and principals and ethics here? What will the Christian Right say about this theft of services? The Bible says Donald --- "Thou shall not steal"...he rented land from you that he never used? Did the contract you had with him say if he doesn't use it, then you get to keep the full amount of money that was rendered? If not...YOU ARE A LYING CHEATING THEIF!!! Characteristics that are NOT becoming of a US President!!! Not even a Business man!!!

"The Donald" has screwed a lot of people. Some figuratively and some literally. But I doubt that Gaddafi was one of them.
