Donald Trump's Ignorance About Iraq And Afghanistan Voted Most Outrageous Quote Of The Week

Donald Trump's claim that we should have invaded Afghanistan before we invaded Iraq - when that's exactly what happened - was not just outrageous but voted the most Outrageous Fox Quote of the Week last week.

In case you missed it, here's what Trump said, during a discussion with Bill O'Reilly:

"I’d stay in Afghanistan. It’s probably the one place we should have gone in the Middle East because it’s adjacent and right next to Pakistan, which has nuclear weapons. So I think you have to stay and do the best you can. Not that it’s ever gonna be great but I don’t think we have much of a choice. That’s one place, frankly, instead of going to Iraq, we should have probably gone there first."

Trump won last week's poll with 37 of the 169 votes. Just like the GOP primaries, it was a crowded field and Trump could not get a majority. View the full poll and its results here.

I hope to have a new Outrageous Quote poll up Monday.

This will play well with the significant portion of voters that are proud of their ignorance. Donald’s one of them!

This history faux pas should haunt the Donald in the general election. Yeah, facts, history, math, science and knowledge in general don’t count for much on Faux News, but the rest of the real world likes those things.

It should rightfully bite him in the ass, right where he carries his pocket Constitution.

Since when is Afghanistan considered to be part of the Middle East?

Trumps knowledge of foreign affairs is breath taking. If we are talking about his latest trophy wife that is.
