Trump's Middle East Policy on Point - 6andcounting - 10-04-2015
Earlier today in an NBC interview with Chuck Shumur, Trump favored not getting involved with anything against Syria and blamed US foreign policy (and by extension, but not specifically by name he blamed Bush and Obama) for ISIS taking over destabilized Iraq and Libya. I guess Ron Paul and Trump have something in common. It's scary though because he is appealing to a lot more people than just those whose jobs got stolen by a lazy, criminal, illiterate Mexican border jumper. And his poll numbers show it.
Here's an NBC article with a little more detail on his interview and policies.

Trump is in favor of strong U.S.intervention in the middle east. He says we need to send in troops.

Well we could always just sell them more chemical weapons, but only if the countries that want them donate to the right foundations.

FWIW, I think we should be very selective about how much and who we help/don't help. Harbor terrorists and we cut all funding.

We should only sell weapons to terrorists in exchange for hostages at the discretion of the President.

All of that was happening before Clinton was Sec of State, and it has continued after she quit the job. And many of the donations were made before Clinton was even appointed as Sec of State.
Correlation without any proof of causation.
