This is from 2015. the Media Never Called him out on his Shit. just allowed him to spew and when he refuses to answer they move on to the next thing.<Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump told TIME that he does not know whether he would have supported or opposed the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
I would have had to be there at the time to tell you, to give you a proper answer, he said during a recent interview in his office in New York City. I certainly hate the concept of it. But I would have had to be there at the time to give you a proper answer.
Trump added that he believes wartime sometimes requires difficult choices. Its a tough thing. Its tough, he said. But you know war is tough. And winning is tough. We dont win anymore. We dont win wars anymore. We dont win wars anymore. Were not a strong country anymore. Were just so off.
Pressed numerous times during an appearance Monday morning on MSNBC to say whether or not the internment violated American values, Trump refused to respond.>

(33,643 posts)Of course he had to ramble on and prove for the 102,344 time what a stupid dick he is.
But at least, for a moment, however brief ... he appeared to actually 'contemplate' ... for once.
FDR interred these people, lets not forget. This, for me, is one of those 'easy to call in hindsight' things, but it's not that difficult for me to understand why a bad call was made at the time. Shameful as the episode was, we can take some solace as US Citizens in the fact that 'the conditions' on our side of the Atlantic ... were reasonably humane, even if the imprisonment itself couldn't be justified in hindsight.
I fully support restitution, btw.
I'll leave it at that.

(44,130 posts)Just lazy negative words. The same string of words over and over and over used in the same negative manner. He's not a deep thinker.
Listen Dotard, you're the one who is just so off. And btw which is it, we're a great country when YOU'RE bashing NFL players for taking a knee, otherwise we're not a great country. How convenient for you.
So sick of his shit.

(1,443 posts)no doubt he would have supported and sold out to Hitler, just as he sold out to Putin today.
The real traitor is Trump, not the Japanese-Americans. The entire GOP are guilty of aiding and abetting treason, for doing nothing to stop him.

(11,885 posts)He also supported Sudam, Ghadaffi, and other corrupt criminal despots all over the world. And now who's he supporting , Putin, Deterte, Kim, Erdogan, and the worst of the world leaders. He knows they're bad men, and that's who he buddies with, look at Flynn, Manafort, Cohen, all criminals. They're already looking into ways to deport minorities with claiming they don't really have citizenship, but it won't stop there. They'll either criminalize them with the DOTJ, or make up phony excuses they can force some out of the country. This is the tip of the ice burg what dictators do,, and he'll get a lot worse, and a lot more brutal to people.
