‘Let Russia fight Islamic State’: Donald Trump accuses Republican rivals of ‘wanting to start World War III’ in Syria
Republican front runner refuses to reveal details of foreign policy, insisting he 'wants people to be guessing'.
Donald Trump accused his Republican presidential rivals on Friday night of wanting to “start World War III over Syria,” and suggested that the United States should instead let Russia deal with the problem.
Trump has recently faced criticism for not providing details on what sort of foreign policy positions he would take as president. That lack of specifics is purposeful and strategic, Trump said during a 50-minute speech at the Great State Fair of Oklahoma on Friday night. He said Republicans who publicly share their strategic foreign policy plans are “crazy”.
“You know, I have a good chance of winning,” Trump said to a cheering crowd of several thousand. “I don’t want to say: ‘Well, if I were president, I would do this, I would do that, I would go here, I would attack here, I wouldn’t go here.’ No, I don’t want to do that. I really don’t. I don’t want them to know what I’m thinking. Does that make sense?
"I want people to be guessing… I don’t want people to figure it out. I don’t want people to know what my plan is. I have plans. I have plans! But I don’t want to do it.”
