Donald Trump: 'Barack Obama Will Start A War With Iran' To Get Elected In 2012

Donald Trump predicted on his Twitter feed that President Barack Obama would start a war in order to win the 2012 election.

After calling Iran's threats to Israel "unacceptable" Tuesday afternoon, Trump tweeted, "In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran."

Trump has questioned Obama in the past, once asking how the president was admitted to two Ivy League schools -- Columbia University and Harvard Law School. He also famously questioned whether Obama's presidency was valid, arguing that Obama had never produced documentation to prove he was born in the United States.

Obama gave Trump a taste of his own medicine at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner, which took place the same week the state of Hawaii released the president's official birth certificate. The president took a dig at Trump's lack of political background, saying "we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience."

Obama should be the last person to talk about a persons experience. What the hell did Obama ever accomplish? A left wing liberal Community Organizer? What the heck does a Community Organizer do?, but cause trouble, and race bait.

Obama worked as a community organizer before he got he even got his law degree from Harvard. Other that that, he was a partner in a Chicago law firm, taught constitution law as a professor at the University of Chicago, and was a state senator for three terms...spouting the community organizer line is just more birther babble....

What does a community Organizer do? If he is brilliant, intellectually rounded, He runs for president of the greatness nation on the planet then gets elected, keep it's citizenry safe, halt a fatal financial free fall, tirelessly try the move forward America’s agenda even though many Quasi Americans will stop at nothing to see America fail, becomes the consoler in chief for a nation torn by war...Some people cannot see the forest for the trees. Then there are some that have the IQ of a tree.

Would be nice to see Mr Trump run for President again. He's the only one taking provocative positions aiming at high profile issues of the day and bringing them to light. He should stay in the limelight and guide our candidates to take some of his positions. Maybe a cabinent position would be in his future or as an ambassador to China.

Or maybe he could just disappear into the desert never to be seen again......

That would be a much better outcome for the American people as a whole.

I think Mr Trump may be on to something. Notice how the Iranians are helping Obama to do it by claiming to have shot down US spy plane.

The USA media is doing the claiming on this, just as they erroneously claimed that the Iranians) said that I srael needed exterminated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad_and_Israel

We need a POTUS that wants to rebuild the USA instead of looking for reasons to wage war that is none of us business. 99% of Americans will lose if we go to war with Iran. The 1% will win as usual.

Having seen LBJ fabricate the Gulf of Tonkin incident to win in 1964 I would agree that if push comes to shove in the polls Trump may for once be right.

.....The Donald is cleverly insane! And to help him out, Prez Obama should strap The Donald to the front of an unmanned drone bomb aimed at Iran just to show him he's right!!!

Donald Trump is no different than Paris Hilton. He inherited great wealth and has spent much of his life earning his living by being "famous for being famous". Personally, I think Paris a bit smarter than Donald, but your mileage may vary.

Why do journalists even lower themselves by reporting the nonsensical blather that falls out this clowns' mouth? He's proven himself a buffoon time and time again, so please, for the love of all that is good, STOP ENCOURAGING HIM!

It's so good to see that someone out there has my opinion about this clown. I don't understand why anyone would listen to this man, he will say or do anything to get his mug on camera.

[Blastrocat]

"Mug" is right. I'm not a Ron Paul fan, but I must admit I respect him for boycotting Trump as mediator.

If you're talking about Barack Obama, you're absolutely correct.

Blastocrat... You are falling off the resentful champions´ scale. The Donald has more to show in achievement that the poor excuse of an achiever that´s the Nobel Peace Holder BHO. He´s shamed the Nobel guys.

The entire world knows its Republicans that start war and its Democrats that stops wars that Republicans even lie to start. Trump needs to know lying to people for war the second time is not as easy as the first.

The entire world now knows that leftist Democrats are idiots:

Word War I, Wilson (Democrat)
World War II Roosevelt (Democrat)
Korean War, Truman (Democrat)

Libya, Obama (Democrat)

By Trump making a declarative statement about President Obama, starting a war with Iran is not only preposterous but also dangerous. Only for the fact that Iranians probably do not take Donald Trump serious Trump's statement could endanger international diplomatic activities directed towards eliminating Iran’s drive towards nuclear weapons.

I am always amazed how Trump manages to stay in the public eye. What does this guy do....really? He does ANYTHING that will put himself in the limelight.DO anything, say anything......

Oh and didn't more than one tp/GOP prez candidate say they would bomb Iran if elected?
