Trump: ‘Waterboarding Doesn’t Sound Very Severe’

Posted by | August 2, 2015 19:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Torture expert Donald Trump wouldn’t have any problem torturing people as president.

Here’s what Trump said in a telephone interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl.

JON KARL: Would President Trump authorize waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques, even torture?

DONALD TRUMP: I would be inclined to be very strong. When people are chopping off other people’s heads and then we’re worried about waterboarding and we can’t because … I have no doubt that that works. I have absolutely no doubt.

JON KARL: So you’d bring back water-boarding?

DONALD TRUMP: You mentioned waterboarding, which was such a big subject. I haven’t heard that term in a year now, because when you see the other side chopping off heads, waterboarding doesn’t sound very severe.

    In other words, Trump believes that the barbaric practices of ISIS should be the “standard of comparison” for the ethical treatment of prisoners.
    Got it.

      Penicillin will take care of it.

    Give it a try Mr. Blusterbutt and let us know how it goes.

    • The Original Just Me August 2nd, 2015 at 23:55

      I think you have the wrong end involved.

    I don’t know. I’m still waiting for Insannity to do it like he said he would.

      I think it would be okay to take a rest room break. I don’t think he is going to do it anytime soon.

    Would he allow me to try it on him just so I can see?

    • The Original Just Me August 2nd, 2015 at 23:54

      I see you used an s instead of a P. Good thinking. No censorship that way.

    I suppose there are worse tortures.

      You were doing great until # 6. Now you have set my sex life back 20 years.

      That graphic is from A Clockwork Orange, isn’t it?

      #5 ….which way to the vomitorium???

        Waterboarding is small potatoes. We got nuthin’. Now if we would’ve had Khaled Sheikh Mohammed subjected to Ashcroft’s rendition of “Let the Eagle Soar”, not only would he have revealed additional attacks on the U.S., we would’ve also had him confessing to the JFK murder and Jimmy Hoffa’s whereabouts.

    Way to spread American exceptionalism to the world, Mr.Trump

    Hey Donny…why don’t you join your good buddy sean hannity and give it a whirl?

    I never do pay per view, but i’d pay big duckies to see that!

    • The Original Just Me August 2nd, 2015 at 23:51

      That would be a sell out. I wonder if some one asked him to try it and donate the money to charity ? Yea Right !

    • Dwendt44 August 3rd, 2015 at 00:35

      Hannity would never do it as he is a coward. I’m inclined to think Trump is as well.

  8. Mike August 2nd, 2015 at 22:21

    It’s true…poverty is not like being poor and having an illness is not like being sick…
    That’s what I like about the Dump, he’s a straight talker…

  9. allison1050 August 3rd, 2015 at 10:42

    Why oh why are there so many stories about The Dump?

  10. rg9rts August 3rd, 2015 at 11:24

    I’ll bet he was short sheeted and wedgied at CMA

  11. Stan Ubeki August 3rd, 2015 at 18:01

    Man would I like to see him get waterboarded and take a bet to give Bernie Sanders $20mil if he goes less than 30 seconds.

  12. Carolina Gonzalez August 3rd, 2015 at 18:36

    I wonder if the Trumpnado has seen this movie before

    Waterboarded is not enough torture for the Trumpnado; ask to the hundreds of debtors and people schemed by the Trumpnado, l I’m sure they have better ideas
