Donald Trump "I'd Bomb The S---
Out Of Them"
Video
November 14, 2015 "Information
Clearing House" - U.S. Republican
candidate's incendiary 90-minute ramble.
Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump delivered an angry, freewheeling speech Thursday night
in which he used a four-letter epithet, sarcastically assailed rival
Ben Carson and called voters "stupid" for believing accounts in
Carson's compelling biography.
On his plans for dealing
with Islamic State militants:
"I know more about
ISIS than the generals do. Believe me," he said. He went on to
describe his plans for attacking Islamic State-controlled oilfields
to choke off revenue.
"I'd bomb the s--- out of
them," he said. "I would just bomb those suckers. That's right. I'd
blow up the pipes; I'd blow up the refineries. I'd blow up every
single inch. There would be nothing left."

On Ben Carson, the retired
neurosurgeon who is challenging his lead in opinion polls:
"Carson's an enigma to me,"
said Trump, zeroing in on Carson's description of his own temper as
a teenager.
"I don't want a person
who's got pathological disease," Trump said. "Now if you're
pathological, there's no cure for that. ... And I did one of the
shows today and I don't want to say what I said, but I'll tell you
anyway. I said that if you're a child molester, a sick puppy, you're
a child molester, there's no cure for that. There's only one cure
and we don't want to talk about that cure."

Recounting Carson's story
about attempting to stab a friend with a knife, also when he was
young:
"He took a knife and he
went after a friend, and he lunged — he lunged that knife — into the
stomach of his friend, but, lo and behold, it hit the belt!" Trump
said, dramatically recounting the scene from Carson's book.
"Give me a break. Give me a
break," he said, before stepping away from the lectern to give a
demonstration of his belt buckle moving up and down.
"Anybody have a knife, you
want to try it on me?" he asked.
"How stupid are the people
of Iowa? How stupid are the people of the country to believe this
crap?"

Questioning Carson's
religious conversion:
"He goes into the bathroom
for a couple of hours and he comes out and now he's religious. And
the people of Iowa believe him. Give me a break," Trump summarized
inaccurately. "Give me a break. It doesn't happen that way."
"Some people might not like
it, 'Oh that's not really nice what you said.' Don't be fools. Don't
be fools, OK?"
———
On not caring what people
think (and the press):
"I may leave here and you
may say, 'Oh that was not nice what he said.' Who cares? Then you
know, I go back to my life, I don't have to do interviews, which I
don't like doing, to be honest with you. I can leave this scum back
here, the press alone. I don't need 'em anymore, they're garbage.
No, they're scum."

On Iowa:
"I love Iowa. I've been
here so many times now, I think I'm going to buy a farm and maybe
just move here."
———
On Florida Sen.
Marco Rubio:
"Weak on illegal
immigration. Weak like a baby, like a baby. Not a good poker player
because every time he's under pressure he starts to just profusely
sweat. If he was playing poker with me, I'd say, 'Oh, I know what.'
The water would start pouring off his body. I'd say, 'Ahh!' Oh boy
he'd have a hard time."

On Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton:
"She's going to run, she's
going to be the candidate, and she's going to lose. She's going to
lose, I tell you. Because people are sick and tired of watching
what's going on, they're sick and tired with her, with her "ohhh,"
with her whole big attitude. And she's playing the woman card up.
That's all she has. Honestly outside of the woman's card, she's got
nothing going. Believe me."

On his theory that former
Iraqi leader
Saddam Hussein lied about having weapons of mass destruction to
scare Iran:
"This is the Trump theory
on war. But I'm good at war. I've had a lot of wars of my own. I'm
really good at war," he said. "I love war in a certain way. But only
when we win."

On illegal immigration:
"If you cross the North
Korean border, and if you do it illegally, you get 12 years hard
labor, 12 years. I think you get more than that. Actually, I think
they kill you. ... If you cross the Afghanistan border illegally,
you get shot. ... In Iran, you get eight years. ... There's a $5,000
fine for Americans crossing the Canadian border," he said.
"If you cross the United
States border illegally, you get a job, you get a driver's license
... you get food stamps, you get a place to live, you get health
care, housing, child benefits and in many cases education. You
wonder why we're a debtor nation. You wonder why our country's going
to hell."
