Donald Trump has no use for Guantanamo Prison for terrorists.

That's because like his role model, Saddam Hussein, he'd have them shot without a trial.

If there's one thing America could learn from one of the world's most ruthless despots, it's how to run our justice system, according to Donald Trump. As he tells conservative website Human Events:

Whether you like Saddam Hussein or not, and I don’t—he was a bad guy—but he used to shoot the terrorists; he used to kill them. He didn’t give them a trial like this country, where the trial lasts for 21 years. He used to shoot the terrorists and kill them. There were no terrorists, very little terrorists in Iraq.

Leaving aside the fact that, in reality, Hussein harbored, trained, and financed various terrorist organizations and operations throughout his reign, it's a little shocking to hear a potential presidential candidate suggesting, if we're understanding him correctly, that it would be better if America executed accused terrorists without first, you know, determining whether they deserve to be executed. Is that what it says in the Fifth Amendment? "We don't need no stinkin' trials"?


He really wants to be embraced by the republicans, huh?

I mean, were they midgets or something?

Trump is an idiot.

2. And I have no use for Donald Trump.
His candidacy will be just a bit of ego-fluffing for him rather than a serious run, but he should fit in fine with the other assorted loons, plutocrats, bigots and fascists that now comprise the Republican Party.

3. Well, there ... that'll solve that problem. He'll also tell China off which will solve all of our
problems with them.

All Hail Trump. He'll solve all our problems. :eyes:

4. The mere fact that he is even being considered as a viable candidate ...
shows that when people ask "Sarah Palin? Can America get any more dumber?", the answer is a resounding "Yes".

5. I'm sure Saddam also labeled many political enemies "terrorist" too
Which a genius like Trump (and I know he is a genius because he's rich =p) must realize could be made easier without proper trials.
