Trump unleashes criticism of US foreign policy in N.H.

Source: Boston Globe

ATKINSON, NH – Businessman Donald Trump told a packed room the United States should not challenge countries that require women to wear burkas as he unleashed a full-throttle criticism of America’s current foreign policy.

“Why are we fighting that?” the presidential candidate asked to cheers in the crowd, and added the United States should “let them” wear what they want.

Trump, waving a hand across his face, also said women might prefer wearing burkas because it obviates the need for make-up.

Women's rights in Iraq went to shit after the invasion and the USA's best buddies are the Saudis.

Trump is off his fucking rocker.

If he means Niqabs, Middle Eastern women still wear makeup even with only their eyes visible. Anyone who doubts that should go stroll around Dubai.

He really looped out on this one. The guy needs a filter somewhere between his brain and his mouth.
