Foreign Policy
Trump says Putin will never invade the Ukraine, evidently unaware of Crimea
Trump says Crimea may actually belong to Russia, therefore the invasion was OK
Edit 1. I put this list together and share it to remind people just how many times Trump has said something horrifically stupid, insensitive, racist, misogynistic, and so forth. These examples go back months, and of course none of this REALLY touches upon party platform or policy...that is a whole separate embarrassment. What this list shows is CHARACTER, or lack thereof. He brags about being rich, but money will never buy him empathy, integrity, or humility.
Edit 2. Thanks for the gold! Also..this list is by no means exhaustive! As many have pointed out..other examples of Trump oddities include: Threatening to pull out of the World Trade Organization, pledging to defend a nonexistent article of the US constitution, suggesting that the US should possibly do more racial profiling, saying the US should ban muslims from entering the country, etc etc. The shocking thing is much of this list has been compiled from stuff done in recent months, and there are still 3 more months to go!
Edit 3. Regarding the Iraq war, some of the responses are slamming Clinton and praising Trump. First things first: Trump never opposed the war (see one of my links above), so this is bullshit. Second, yes, Clinton voted for the Iraq war resolution, but so did many other democrats like Joe Biden, John Kerry, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, John Edwards, Joseph Lieberman, and Diane Feinstein. And these aren't exactly "send the-troops-to-die-in-needless-wars type politicians. These were senators who made a decision at a time when public support in 2003 for War in Iraq was at 72% and they were being systematically lied to by the Bush Administration. So this wasn't a black/white issue, or as clear cut as it is today. Just a thought.
