Trump Just Announced His Plan for ISIS – and It Includes Something Highly Controversial
Continuing his trademark style of delivering bold and controversial answers to pesky problems, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump recently revealed a central component of his plan for battling Islamic extremism in the Middle East.
He described terrorist group ISIS as a well-funded organization reliant on oil for its revenue. It is on this front, he said during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, that he would attack the organization.
“Every place where they have oil,” he said, “I would knock the hell out of them.”
His plan would call for the deployment of ground troops in the region, he acknowledged.
“I would knock out the source of their wealth, which is oil,” he said. “And in order to do that, you would have to put boots on the ground. I would knock the hell out of them, but I’d put a ring around it and I’d take the oil for our country.”
Reaction to his proposal was mixed, with some citing a previous campaign promise for which Trump received pointed criticism. (Read more from “Trump Just Announced His Plan for ISIS – and It Includes Something Highly Controversial” HERE)
