Donald Trump Supported the Iraq War

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


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.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
