Video footage from an interview in 2008 between President Donald Trump and CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. In the segment, Trump says he “[likes] Nancy Pelosi a lot,” that she should have impeached President George W. Bush for lying to the public over the Iraq war with Weapons of Mass Destruction.
The transcript of this section from the Blitzer-Trump interview reads as follows:
Blitzer: …Nancy Pelosi?
Trump: Well, you know, when she first got in and was named speaker, I met her, and I’m very impressed by her. I think she’s a very impressive person. I like her a lot! But, I was surprised that she didn’t do more in terms of Bush, and going after Bush. It was almost… It just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which personally I think would have been a wonderful thing.
Blitzer: Impeaching him?
Trump: [Absolutely]. For the war. For the war.
Blitzer: Because of the conduct there?
Trump: Well, he lied! He got us into the war with lies. And, I mean, look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant, and they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense. And yet Bush got us into this horrible war with lies — by lying — by saying they had weapons of mass destruction — by saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true.
