“The difference between Iraq and this is that (the US) didn’t keep the oil. We’re going to keep the oil,” Trump told MS NOW. “In 2016, I said we should have kept the oil. It caused a lot of controversy. Well, we should have kept the oil. And we’re going to rebuild their broken-down oil facilities, and this time we’re going to keep the oil.”

He is literally arguing that the comparison is unfair because his venture in Venezuela is significantly less justified than even the absurdly illegal invasion of Iraq.

That's his only saving trait: how absurdly dumb he is and how transparently he exposes the corruption.
And the "drain the swamp" crowd love it.

Yes. The problem with Iraq was that during the invasion and occupation there wasn't enough looting. Obviously, stealing from the country will bring the citizens over to the American side and stabilize the country to avoid a drawn out, unwinnable war.
