He did look like a fool when he announced the weapons of mass destruction line at the UN. Still, compared to the neo-cons like Rumsfeld and Cheney (or Kissinger for that matter), he really doesn't look all that bad.

Anyway, when you wish bad things for people you disagree with, well, it doesn't make for a peaceful world when the other side does the same thing to you.

I will, however, make an exception if something not so nice happens to Trump.
You didn't realize he was hated? Do you remember the Iraq war my friend?

He got brownie points from some liberals afterwards when he endorsed Obama but endorsing Obama as a black man is way less of a stand out moment then the whole WMD thing...
