Donald Trump has informed CIA that he may start another Iraq War just to take the oil

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump spent his entire campaign insisting that he opposed the Iraq War from day one, even though an interview from the early days of that war revealed that he was originally in favor of it. Now it turns out Trump is thinking about creating another Iraq War, and he’s not even pretending it’s for any other reason than taking Iraq’s oil. We know this because Trump informed the CIA of this today during a speech which was nationally televised.

Trump gave the speech today at the CIA headquarters in Langley, and he made his views on Iraq abundantly clear. He started off by repeating his campaign lie that “I wasn’t a fan of Iraq. I didn’t want to go into Iraq.” He then went on to offer the bizarre rationale for wanting to steal anotaher nation’s resources by claiming that “If we kept the oil, we wouldn’t have had ISIS in the first place.” Then he admitted it had nothing to do with ISIS: “The old expression, to the victor belong the spoils.” Finally, he dropped the bombshell: “We should’ve kept the oil. But, okay, maybe we’ll have another chance.”

In other words, Donald Trump informed the CIA today that he may start another Iraq War just to take the oil, and he did it in exact words, and he did it front to television cameras.
