Donald Trump: Waterboard Boston bombing suspect

Donald Trump tweeted Sunday that water boarding hospitalized Boston marathon suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, might force him to talk to authorities.

Trump tweeted:

What do you think of water boarding the Boston killer sometime prior to allowing our doctors to make him well? I suspect he may talk!

...dude's ego is as big as the building he sells his name for (he doesn't own most of them)...and knows there'll be a camera or microphone ready for his latest bullshit. He isn't the problem, it's the morons who invite him on or actually throw money at him...

I'm not a doctor but I doubt Trump's idea would have the intended effect, given that the guy has a throat injury.

A) He's on a ventilator - you could choke him with an off switch.
B) Torture is an ineffective means of intelligence gathering - mostly useful for inducing false confessions.
C) Trump needs to stop listening to the small animal living on his head.

In a sane country this man's opinion would have zero influence.

In a sane country this man would not have a very successful TV show.

In a sane country everything this man says would be taken with a grain of salt.

In a sane country this man would never run for president.

In a sane country this man would not be looked up to as a model for business. (He has declared bankruptcy 4 times)

In a sane country this man would not be looked upon as a man with family values. (He has been married 3 times)

In a sane country the media would report facts and not brain wash the masses.

very day that the bi-partisan, blue ribbon, Constitution Project has concluded that the Bush administration committed crimes when it used water-boarding and other forms of torture on Middle-Eastern prisoners of war.
An ass with bad hair.

I would confess to just about anything for relief. Water boarding would be a huge disappointment for me especially if it did not result in death and release from the immediate presence of this ass. He would be a great candidate for Satan could you imagine eternity in the presence of Donald Trump?

“Waterboarding is torture. It’s contrary to America’s traditions, it’s contrary to our ideals, it’s not who we are, it’s not how we operate,” Obama told reporters at a press conference of the interrogation technique.


So Donald I suggest you hop a boat.
