    Trump is now claiming that he never said he would kill the families of terrorists.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-terrorists_us_56e0d7cde4b065e2e3d4d82d

    He says his words were "go after," when in fact his words were "take them out." And let's not forget that he specifically made these comments in response to a question about collateral damage. And later, when asked specifically asked about killing family members, he responded: "Frankly, that will make people think, because they may not care much about their lives, but they do care, believe it or not, about their familiesÂ’ lives."

    http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2015/12/15/3732671/trump-isis-kill-family-members/

    And when Trump was told the ex-director of the CIA said that the military would refuse illegal orders to kill civilians, Trump responded by saying "They'll do what I tell them to do."

    But now he's not only back-peddling, but actually pretending that one of his most heinous positions was something he never really held.

    At this point, I'm having more and more problems being against the guy, because I have no idea what he's for. And it looks like he doesn't either.

    I told my wife, the night of the debate, that this would be the next thing he walks back. If this is how he gets great deals done, we are screwed. Say something totally stupid to get folks riled up and then walk it back the next day.

    ... While denying he said what he said. He's not just saying "What I meant was..." He's denying the actual words.

    You're finally beginning to figure that out?????????

    With all due respect, as someone who has followed this man's career since the mid 1980's, I have a lot of trouble understanding why people don't see what's so blatantly obvious.

    Good to see your copy/paste skills haven't worn out. And good to see that Trump's fans still can't defend the man on his own merit, just throw out distractions and try desperately to change the subject.

    Except Obama takes out terrorist families in drone strikes in numerous countries. Crickets from the media.

    Like when he said that our wages are too high, then denied it, then reversed it. It's a worrisome pattern.

    I love how every criticism of Trump is greeted (always within the first page of replies) with a distraction and an attempt to shift the spotlight onto Obama or Clinton.

    Ford no longer has Mercury, Chrysler dropped Plymouth and GM dropped many brands. Obviously it is a lie for anyone to even talk about Ford, Chryler and GM anymore since obviously they don't exist? Dropping a product line does not represent a failed business.

    There is absolutely NO lie that won't be told against Trump. The media and most people not only are idiots when it comes to capitalism and free enterprise, they openly despise successful capitalists.

    Want to see businesses that are failing and losing money like crazy? Check out the New York Times and L. A. Times. THERE are examples of incompetent businesses.

    But it is NOT a diversion. It is pointing out that Democrats and media outrage over what Trump said is totally fake outrage and absolute hypocrisy.

    Wore it out? The only thing you ever say in these threads is "Hil LIAR ry" over and over again, and I have yet to see you actually address anything mentioned in an OP. The OP is there if you want to discuss it. Since you are just here to play "Hil LIAR ry" on repeat, the ignore button seems like the only rational thing to do.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I'm not a Democrat, or a liberal or the media. And there really hasn't been much media outrage over this flip-flop at all. So far I've only seen a couple of blogs cover it. "But Obama" is as tired of a diversion now as "But Bush" was a few years ago.

    So that infomercial of a speech on Tuesday was about him promoting failed brands? Or about him trying to give the impression that these brands are still thriving?

    You're outdoing yourself with pathetic rationalizations.

    Trump Steaks don't exist. It was a failure. Period.

    But Trump put a plate full of steaks in front of a TV camera so he could fool folks like you, after the failure of Trump steaks was highlighted by his opponants. This is a vivid demonstration of how thin skinned and dishonest the man is.

    The unlabelled steaks you saw on TV are not a product Trump sells. IT was all fake, like much of everything else about the man.

    At this point, when you offer feeble rationalizations like this, one has to conclude that you've deliberately chosen to know nothing.

    What people do not understand about Donald trump
    But he is a real estate developer
    And the number one thing to remember and real estate sales is that if you do not have it in writing you've got nothing
    This was very true in New York real estate sales
    and verbal contract does not mean anything in New York real estate transaction
    But if you do some research you'll find Donald trump and a habit or say one thing verbally and another in writing
    So he would tell you anything to get the nomination

    It is strange isn't it? Considering that the Evangelicals are hot on his tail, it might behoove them to look up the characteristics of the anti-Christ. They are, after all, the ones that live and breath the end times.

    You are correct that he did say that we should go after the families of terrorists. As I recall he made that statement more than once, or at least a virtually the same statement more than one.

    That's true of real estate developers in general, particularly the sort of smoke and mirrors guys like Trump.

    I spent twenty years in the construction industry, and I've seen my share of Donald Trump guys.

    The guys who show up on the jobsite in a shiny new Mercedes, sporting the diamond encrusted Rolex and the trophy wife. The guys who spin elaborate yarns about their next big deal or next big project.

    Meanwhile you're thinking about the uge spot they have in your long overdue accounts recievable.

    That's who Trump is.

    Ferguson Missouri residents had better be careful as well. Seems Trump admires the "strong" way China puts down "riots".
