Lewandowski Claims Captain Khan Would Still Be Alive If Trump Had Been President

Monday morning, former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski claimed on CNN that Captain Humayun Khan would still be alive if Donald Trump been president a dozen years ago.

“We’ve had 7,000 soldiers who have died, $6 trillion wasted overseas that if Donald Trump was president, we would never have had, and Captain Khan would be alive today,” Lewandowski, who is now a paid CNN contributor, said.

“If Donald Trump was the president, Captain Khan would be alive today, because he would’ve never engaged in a war that didn’t directly benefit this country,” Lewandowski said. “Captain Khan would be alive today, as would 7,000 other U.S. soldiers.”

But Trump didn’t actually oppose the Iraq War from the beginning. BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski has documented that prior to the March 2003 invasion, Trump said he supported it. In September 2002, Howard Stern asked him “Are you for invading Iraq?” “Yeah, I guess so,” Trump replied. There’s no evidence of Trump opposing the Iraq war prior to it beginning.

Hypothetically .. if Trump had been President so many years ago.. Russian would most likely be our language taught in schools.. and I am not kidding about that.. he is a Russian tool..not driven by philosophical points of view..but by money..

7. From the Star of David tweet to Melania's speech to this

They just keep getting a bigger shovel. Manaforte is supposed to be done PR genius but it sure doesn't look like it to me.

9. His candidate cannot be controlled.

I'm sure he'd be doing fine with, say, Mike Pence, as evil and boring as he is. But Trump cannot stop digging, and his surrogates have no choice but to defend his insanity.

10. Manaforte.. another one selling out the country to the Russians

for money..

6. Yeah, trump is long past the point where anyone is going to

8. When Trump goes on a personal vendetta, he can't stop until he has won.

He will stop at nothing to take these people down.

And some think he would be a good president?

11. That's sorta-kinda true

Trump wouldn't have started a ground war, but gone straight for the nukes.

12. They sure fail PR 101

A freshman communications major could do better.
