Donald Trump Supported the Iraq War

Free of charge, I have a question for the next big-time journalist who interviews Donald Trump. Here it is:

Mr. Trump, you clearly supported the Iraq War. We have audio tape of it! In 2002 Howard Stern asked you if you were in favor of invading Iraq, and you said, “Yeah, I guess so.” And yet for the past year you’ve repeatedly lied about this. Why?

You’re welcome.

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
