I know Navy Seals, I have worked with Navy Divers. People close to me became Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians.
These guys do not tend to make mistakes, but so ordered, (By the President) they do their best. Even unto death. Trump’s bad calls cost lives.
Take responsibility, Donald. But you can’t.
Do not smear POWs, while you are at it.
Early on Trump said his generals are “the greatest in history.”
That was okay, Until they disagree with his pull out of Syria “with no notice or advice from those same generals”, and then he claims that he fired them (when really they resigned.)
EDIT: NOW WE SEE THAT SYRIA WITHDRAWAL CAUSED ISIS TO THRIVE.
Thanks for making ISIS great again, was that the plan, Sir?
He says he's better than the generals that he fires or that quit.
*How did that happen, exactly?*
Like what strategy or tactics training did Trump ever get?
He obviously has no concept of tactics, strategy, operational theater strategy, or geo-political Power Balance or negotiation or the basics… I mean the Very Basics of international statecraft.
He wants to break up NATO, which was for many decades the only thing keeping Russia at bay.
During the Cold War the world was preserved by the solidarity of saying Western Europe is safe… because America will stand with them in case Russia decides to take over the continent as a leader of the Warsaw Pact.
But these days the Commander-in-Chief, Trump has pissed off the leaders of many of our past allies.
With this shutdown that he claims is for border security he has defunded the Coast Guard… such that the commandant of the Coast Guard is asking people outside the Coast Guard to donate to family relief organizations to help Coast Guard Junior enlisted service members to get by… and TSA agents are airports working with no pay.
Almost a million federal workers’ families face being homeless.
And this guy says “thank you for working without pay for me…I appreciate it. PS, if you need to pay your rent, you should hold a garage sale because this could go on for years.”
And then when asked what are people going to do make it through the shutdown, he would say “Americans are strong and resilient they will figure a way out - they always do.”
Except he's the one who's not paying them!
This is the guy who was born into millions of dollars that was just Handed To Him… like a kid’s dollar for lunch money.
He has no concept of what the life is like for someone who works minimum wage and doesn't have a gold toilet in their bathroom.
This is not conspiracy theory bullshit.
This is his Twitter postings. Recorded for all history.
He knows that the poorly educated can often be swayed by a charismatic demagogue combined with mass media.
You can open up Hitler's Playbook and replace Jews with immigrants, and his blaming the system labeling his opponents as the system that is broken and needs fixed and that he is the man to fix it…
People who are Americans who were born in America…piss him off… he says “send them back to their shithole country.”
That country, Sir, is America!
Combined with the underclass of mostly rural White America seeing that their numbers are dwindling as they age out so that soon they will be a minority…
Combined with Russia hacking social media and targeting swing voters with hate campaigns directed specifically toward each person's individual weakness as profiled by their social media profile…
“Moscow” Mitch McConnell stopping laws to secure our 2020 election?
Our intelligence agencies, doing their job, report the election hacking will continue, and is ongoing.
Why would that be? Why does McConnell not want election security?
