I’m trying to be neutral in the post. I dont have any malice for DT or the Admin. and wish them well but not on foreign policy.
I think it’s a giant mistake what they’re doing and to have it to continue to the mid-term elections a disaster.
You get a front row seat on that as George Carlin used to say
I think the US put off dealing with a critical problem for almost fifty years and that problem was about to metastasize into a fatal issue. Like having a baby, there’s never a good time. You can plan all you like, but it happens when it happens whether you want it to or not. Everything else, including midterms, has to be set aside while the critical issue at hand is dealt with. We’re lucky we had someone in the controller’s chair who was willing to deal with the issue rather than kick it down the road for later. We’ve already proven, there is no “later.”
They have no choice now once they made the Go decision, have to keep going. Sad.
I’m sure they’d be happy to take an L but it’s not being offered.
I’m split. I have no ill will towards Trump, but I feel like he’s lost the plot.
The middle east has turned into yet another quagmire. There’s something about hubris with every consequential Republican president of the last 40 years thinking they can ride in, rope the calf that is Islam, and declare victory. We continue to repeat the mistakes of the past all in the name of supporting “our greatest ally” Israel.
I would like to see unabashed isolationist traditional conservative values return to DC, but I just don’t see it happening.
Isolationist insomuch as we don’t meddle in foreign affairs that don’t impact us. Focus on our hemisphere and work to strengthen bonds with our global neighbors.
Traditional conservative insomuch as NOT neo-conservative. I want our politicians to follow the letter and the spirit of our founding documents.
Both of these together would see us into a boom unlike we’ve seen since Calvin Coolidge. Instead we have a split economy where corporations are thriving on the market while the American people are struggling to make ends meet.
Trump campaigned on improving America first. This second term he’s focused heavily on affairs overseas, and the optics are bad. I’m blessed to be gainfully employed, and I give a lot to my parish and community; but I’ve been to the food banks and the local shelters. Americans are hurting. And for what?
“...continue to the mid-term elections a disaster.”
The mid-terms are always a disaster, people have voted for the uniparty for decades now and this is the result, a ‘free’ cookie and all that. Notice that politicians of any stripe rarely mention the $40 trillion debt we have that might bring us down before World War III does.

You sound so normal and American, like a concerned American as you post these threads and work the forum.
I wonder if people here know that you are a foreign activist who has never even been to America? You have never even set foot here, have never voted in our elections, a pure foreign agent working the internet.
Your gross ignorance can be cured by enlightenment.
To be enlightened, you must crawl from under your rock into the light of reality
That’s a load of crap.
He’s doing great - especially foreign policy..
You just don’t understand yet what he’s doing and why it needs to be done.
