Trump made 'lots of money' catering to Libyan dictator

Donald Trump has been all over the map when it comes to Libya and their strongman dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, who seized power in a coup and ruled the country ruthlessly for 34 years. In the past, Trump had called for Gaddafi’s ouster, but now that Libya has become a failed state, Donald has said several times that the world would be better off if Gaddafi was still around.


One hundred percent,' Trump said when asked if the world would be better off with Saddam and Gaddafi still at the helm in Iraq and Libya.

As it turns out, Trump has millions of reasons to mourn the dethroning of his buddy Gaddafi.


Donald Trump says he made "a lot of money" in a deal years ago with Moammar Gadhafi, despite suggesting at the time he had no idea the former Libyan dictator was involved in renting his suburban New York estate. …

The presumptive Republican nominee was talking about a bizarre incident in 2009, when Gadhafi was in desperate search of a place to pitch his Bedouin-style tent during a visit to New York for a meeting of the U.N. General Assembly.
