Trump talks ISIS and Oil in 2015: Bomb them, encircle, send in Mobil

Some really profound strategy Trump was belching up. Some Wall bragging too. I guess he’s still looking for his “Patton or MacArthur”, LOL.

From the article:

“Newly declared GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump finally revealed more details of his plan to defeat ISIS today during his sit-down with Bill O’Reilly for tonight’s The O’Reilly Factor.

“I say that you can defeat ISIS by taking their wealth,” Trump told the Fox News Channel star. “Take back the oil. Once you go over and take back that oil, they have nothing. You bomb the hell out of them, and then you encircle it, and then you go in. And you let Mobil go in, and you let our great oil companies go in. Once you take that oil, they have nothing left.”

He continued: “I would hit them so hard. I would find you a proper general, I would find the Patton or MacArthur. I would hit them so hard your head would spin.”
