Donald Trump acknowledged Thursday that he "could have" signaled support for invading Iraq during a 2002 interview with Howard Stern.

When asked whether he would support an invasion, Trump responded: "Yeah...you know, I wish the first time it was done correctly."

Trump has repeatedly claimed that he opposed the Iraq invasion from the start, but yet another piece of evidence directly contradicts that assertion.

One day after the U.S.invaded Iraq in 2003, Trump appeared on Fox News with Neil Cavuto, saying it was “a tremendous success.”

The reality TV star also predicted the Iraq War would provide a long-term boost to Wall Street: "This is really nothing compared to what you’re gonna see after the war is over,” he said. “I think Wall Street’s just gonna go up like a rocket, even beyond, and it’s gonna continue."

During the conversation, Trump never mentioned any opposition to the war.

Is he referring to desert storm when he said that?

Is he referring to desert storm when he said that?

Apparently, since he stated "I wish the first time it was done correctly."

He clearly voiced support for the second invasion and occupation of Iraq after 9/11.
