Trump: ‘We’ve Largely Eradicated ISIS; We Have to Bring Our Troops Back Home’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Well, I don’t think too much. Except that I said — I never said I’m going to rush out. We’re going to get out. We’re getting out of Syria. We’re bringing our young, great troops home after so many years. We were supposed to be in Syria for three to four months. That was four or five year ago. It is time. We have to bring them home. We’re going to do it in a very good way. Frankly, you know this better than anybody, Pete, ISIS was all over the place when I took over. It was a total mess in Syria. We’ve almost eradicated all of them. We think all of them will be gone by the time we get out. We’re heading back, and we’re also fighting. You can do two things at once. Plus as you know we have other bases in the general area. In particular we have one in Iraq. Nobody said anything about that. We’re fighting these endless wars. I campaigned on getting out of the endless wars. And frankly, I’ve done more than I said. Not only am I able to get out, but I’ve also won. You look at what I’ve done. We’ve really largely eradicated ISIS. That doesn’t mean we don’t totally finish the job. That’s going to be a short period of time. We have to bring our troops back home. It is time."
