Whether he likes it or not, KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross has something in common with Donald Trump.

Some of Trump’s old radio commentaries recently surfaced. The Republican presidential candidate hosted a syndicated commentary called “Trumped!” between 2004-2008.

Like Dave, Trump commented on a variety of topics, including current events and politics. Unlike Dave, who ran for Congress in 2004, Trump’s commentaries are coming back to bite him.

Medved: Terrible day for Clinton despite FBI’s recommendations

Not all of Trump’s radio commentaries are terribly controversial, but there are a few shining examples already being shared over the internet. For example, Trump once recommended husbands do more housework because it would be beneficial in the bedroom.

He touted his enthusiasm for Sharia law, based on the fact that a husband was allowed to divorce his wife without involving the court.

“Men in Saudi Arabia have the authority to divorce their wives without going to the courts … The fact is, no courts, no judges, Saudia Arabia sounds like a very good place to get a divorce,” Trump said.

Maybe one of the most relevant comments he made had to do with Hillary Clinton becoming president.

“Hillary Clinton said she’d consider naming Barrack Obama as her vice president when she gets the nomination … Well I know her and she would make a good president or vice president,” Trump said.

Of course, that comment was made before Benghazi and before Clinton became her own IT person, using her personal email server to handle classified information as secretary of state.
