Some of you might know that Donald Trump protested the war in Iraq in 2003, well trump is now singing a different tune in 2015. In an interview with CNN, Trump said he wants to send troops to Iraq and Syria in order to take oil from ISIS controlled areas in Iraq and Syria. There's just one problem, oil is not one of ISIS's highest earning sources of income. In fact, according to The New York Times ISIS's main sources of income are taxation, extortion, and theft. But taxation and extortion are the same thing as theft, so we'll just call it theft.
It was also found by CNN that it would be counterproductive to destroy the oil industry in areas that are recovering after being held captive by ISIS.
Trump also said in the interview that Iran is funding ISIS, while I still wait for another politician, besides Rand Paul, to admit the U.S. is supporting ISIS.
