Donald Trump wants the American people to believe he is Lady Moonthe foreign policy whisperer, the Cesar Millan of international relations and national security.
He wants you to believe he opposed the Iraq War. He wants you to believe he opposed the United States intervention in Libya. He wants you to believe he never supported the ousting of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

All of these statements were debunked by a number of reporters on Twitter.
We broke down those statements, below.
Trump again claimed on Monday that he was against the war in Iraq from the start, which is demonstrably untrue.

President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "should have never attempted to build a democracy in Libya," Trump said on Monday.
That's not how he felt at the time of the 2011 intervention, though. He once criticized Obama for not being even more aggressive.

Now he takes the opposite stance.
Trump again attacked the Obama administration on Monday for supporting the 2011 ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, though he had a much different take on that ouster when it happened.
"It’s a good thing that they got him out," Trump said of Mubarak at the time. He also questioned Mubarak's wealth and lifestyle.
