You can say whatever you like about Trump - but I can't recall hearing THAT kind of honesty from a US President in a long, long time...

[timppatimo]

The first American president who is not a TOTAL hypocrite? Unbelievable things are happening.

[Xisuo]

when a journalist/host is making a judgement, the interview is no longer meaningful

“What you think our country is so innocent?” Lol #GotEm!

I am a US airforce pilot veteran and have served in Vietnam and although I am proud of my work the thing I regret most is that I have prevented the communists from fishing off people that would then breed the neocon warhawks. We are not the land of the free if we refuse to acknowledge the crimes we have committed against innocents.

[darkflamemaster]

Now I understand why almost all rich media outlets and oligarchs hate him, he call all of them out

[glong]

Damn that was blunt honesty the likes of which we don't usually get from a politician let alone a sitting President.

[bigd]

You can't say that truth this loud and expect people to not be upset

[krazmf]

I dislike trump to some extent on a lot of his policy's. I was surprised to hear him say that we are not innocent. It was actaullay a great statement with alot of truth behind

[Stazzo]

"you think our country's is so innocent"

This is true for Usa but even for all western countries.

Bravo to Trump! The so-called History Teacher and Author O'Reilly seems to have selective amnesia. What about US Government complicity in the overthrow of Diem in Vietnam in 1963 or those CIA assassination attempts on Castro?

Why doesn't Bill write a book "Killing Diem"?

[Gudo-kvot]

He isn't a hypocrite. I like this about him very much. I don't understand Americans and their media hating on him for no reason. They are worried about petty things and don't see the big picture

[ammar.elbasha.maro_roma]

What an honest statement very brave answer

[ronniedefelice]

That's why I like trump, you may not like what he says sometimes but he's right in this case and he's not afraid to speak his mind

[larryville]

Shoot out to Trump on this one🌺 straight on the point 💯

[Mindbender]

Can you imagine if Obama said this? Omg

[davidgrandlion]

I MUST shake hands with the greatest president of the US for the last 50 years - Donald J Trump

[xierotron]

I still find it weird Bill Maher criticising Trump for saying this when it sounds like something Maher would say

[melanieoki]

We love you President Trump from japan

[Wonderingcrowbird]

bravo. standing up to everyone and not faking like everyone else
