After talking about the condition of American airports, Trump said, “We spent 6 trillion dollars in the Middle East. We’ve got nothing. We never even kept even a little tiny oil well. I said, ‘Keep the oil.’”
Trump suggested that the oil proceeds could fund a major government infrastructure project. “We’ve spent 6 trillion dollars in the Middle East. We have nothing, and we have an obsolete plane system, obsolete airports, obsolete trains, we have bad roads. We’re going to change all of that folks. You’re going to be so happy with Trump. I think you already are.”
Trump claims to have been against the Iraq War from the beginning, but argues that once the U.S. went in, the military should’ve pillaged Iraq’s oil.
During Trump’s first speech to CIA agents last month, he said, “We should’ve kept the oil… maybe you’ll have another chance.”

This isn't the first the time, he said it repeatedly. Exxon mobil CEO becoming the secretary of state is only fitting. But hey, at least he acknowledges that the USA isn't so innnocent, a factual statement that apparently enrages the same media who won't discuss Trump's plans to steal other countries' natural resources.
