Ron Paul Supports Iran Deal; Calls Trump ‘Dangerous’
Former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul was on radio with me Wednesday night praising the Iran deal, but not doing the same for Donald Trump, He has a new book, Swords Into Plowshares.
COLMES: What’s your reaction to the deal?
DR. PAUL: I’ve been very supportive of what the President is trying to do. So I would be in support of the agreement. Even though from my viewpoint there’s a lot of shortcomings because I like to think there was a time in our history where we dealt with this in a different manner. That one country with another country worked out its affairs, the Executive branch worked it out into a treaty and then the Senate approved it. This is very international and it requires a lot and it’s not going to be, it’s not a treaty, therefore the Congress rightfully should have something to say about it. But it was done in a manner that I wasn’t very enthusiastic about…
COLMES: Is Donald Trump good or bad for the Republican Party?
DR. PAUL: Well, I don’t even care whether he’s good or bad for the Republican Party, I don’t have much interest in that per se, but I think he’s is a dangerous person. And a lot of people find him sort of funny, and love him, even Libertarian types.
COLMES: Why is he dangerous?
DR. PAUL: They like him because he’s so disruptive to the party system, and I enjoy that too. But I think he’s a man that if conditions deteriorate, which they can, see I work on the assumption that the world is no more stable than Greece, and if those conditions come, people want to be told what to do. “And I know what the answer is, and I’ll do this, and I am the man to this.” And he comes across this very well, and people listen to him, and I believe he may be raising white horses someplace and he’s going to ride in. Because he is almost the opposite of a Libertarian, because it’s not like “I want to give you your freedom and your liberty to run your life as you choose. Your civil liberties are absolutely yours, you can’t hurt anybody, it’s your own money you can spend it any way you want.” But he sounds like the person, “I know the answers and I’m going to do this and I’ve done this, I’ve done this, this and this.”

Ron Paul has a huge target on his back now, and the right will do everything to hit that target and take it out!

They should focus on his racist son Ayn Rand Paul.

Ron Paul says something I agree with. Geraldo Rivera says something I agree with. I think I have gone from the inner mind to the Outer Limits!
