I 'member when told Greta V he had a secret plan to defeat islamic radicals, and he wasn't going to tell anyone it:


"And I’m not gonna tell you what it is tonight."

Host Greta Van Susteren immediately asked, "Why won’t you tell? We need all the help we can get."

"I don’t want the enemy to know what I’m doing," Trump replied. "Unfortunately, I’ll probably have to tell at some point, but there is a method of defeating them quickly and effectively and having total victory."

Trump criticized President Barack Obama for going "on television to explain exactly when we're going to attack a certain city, what we're going to do, what hour we're going to be using for the attack, how many are going."

He said Gens. Douglas MacArthur and George Patton are "spinning in their grave" over how the United States gives all the details of its military operations upfront.

I don't want the enemy to know what I'm going to do," Trump said.


But now he's telling the radicals in Syria and Afghanistan he's pulling our people out.
