Claim #3: The Stern interview is irrelevant to the question of my pre-war stance because it was . . . before the war
Quote: “Those other statements were before the war even started.”
Claim #4: I didn’t really tell Stern I supported the war
Quote: “It was the first time anybody ever asked me about Iraq. He said, and I said, ‘Ah, I don’t know.’ You know, it was very, very (sic).”
Reality: This explanation is nearly indecipherable, but it is not true that Trump told Stern, “I don’t know.” When Stern asked if he supported the war, Trump said, “Yeah, I guess so. You know, I wish the first time it was done correctly.”
Claim #5: I was unimportant at the time of the Stern interview
Quote: “Frankly nobody really cared too much about what I said. I — doing business. I don’t even know why I was asked the question. I guess because I was asked the question. That’s — who knows.”
