Do you believe this article is accurate and based in truth?

Do you believe that this is another 3D chess move by Trump?

The never President Trump trolls outted themselves and left a while back.

People who disagree with or debate what is going on in the Trump Admin. are not trolls. They are watching. They have their brains engaged.

Others are like cheerleaders with pom poms and cheer no matter what happens. That’s what makes them happy.

[Organic Panic]

Indeed. One must never question Trump and at all times show blind faith in Trump’s actions.

[laplata]

You’re full of it.

[laplata]

You’re right. That kind of thinking is stupid and dangerous. I support the president but if he does something I disagree with, I’ll speak out.

Neocon cockroaches come out of the woodwork.

Believe this ninth degree Dan black belt, third dimensional, world class chess master, Marvel super hero blather at the peril of common sense.

The thesis of the article is that Donald Trump advanced his position by knowingly permitting himself to be betrayed for months as a Putin puppet so he could dramatically prove otherwise. Believe that he brilliantly calculated he could win by losing at the peril of common sense. It runs contrary to Trump's history.

There is nothing in his history that supports this approach but there is much in his history to demonstrate that he believes in attacking his adversary and then making nice. Consider his post election treatment of his Republican adversaries in the primaries. Consider his opening gambit concerning China by taking the call from Taiwan. Considering his initial threats to NATO followed by soothing words from his Secretary of State.

The alternative understanding from his biography might sail but the one floated in this article fails the ludicrous test even among many Trump supporters who are beginning to recover their powers of discernment.

Any action that does exactly what the globalists want is bad.

[MarvinStinson]

I call those who cheer Trump’s acting as the air force for ISIS by their earned title: retards.

“This article reads like something written for one of the Kims”

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that! As I was reading I was imagining replacing names with others such as Mao, dear leader, der fuhrer... terribly written.

“The never President Trump trolls outted themselves and left a while back.”

Sadly many of them are back spreading FUD.

“People who disagree with or debate what is going on in the Trump Admin. are not trolls. They are watching. They have their brains engaged.”

The folks who have honest disagreement with President Trump this don’t push false narratives fed to them by the media & repeat the same talking points for 2-3 straight days. They don’t call people who disagree with them Soros supporters or Alinksyites as a rule either.

That said, I think President Trump’s surgical strike into Syria was a brilliant move on multiple levels. Letting Russia, Assad, China & the Norks know the era of weakness is over is a good thing IMO.

I would argue that the Russian effort is not so great.

I cite the Russian presence in the UN as the message.

In response to a severe tongue lashing by US Ambassador Niki Haley, Russia presented the deputy Ambassador to respond. A severe response that mattered would have been delivered by the main man.

The howling in the UN was limited to the second string howlers

Notice in that photo that every person in the room is looking at the monitor except Kushner. He is either glaring at someone, likely Bannon.

A lot of people agree with you.

[Crucial]

Trump made a smart move.

First, he cemented his position as Commander-in-Chief.

Second, he showed the world that he has compassion and a moral compass.

Third, he proved he was no puppet of Putin.

He has completely disproved multiple media narratives.

[guido911]

Is that what Trump and Mathis are doing? Helping ISIS? Because we all know that General Mathis is all about helping terrorists. If only we had more people with your freaking insight into foreign policy. Dumbass.

[MarvinStinson]

Dumbass guido says ISIS are not terrorists.

[guido911]

Yes. That’s what I was saying.

After looking again, it appears Kushner is engaging in a conversation with T-Rex as both are looking at each other.
