I remember the Iranians launching missiles into Iraq at American Troops and Trump not responding. They didn’t seem too afraid of him.

I remember Russia being in Syria and they didn’t seem to afraid of him as they did all sorts of nastiness.

The Trump doctrine was America first and thus, Russia should have gone into Ukraine as Trump’s own doctrine was we would not get involved.

I still think what set all of this Ukrainian stuff off was the RUs thinking they had finally built their forces up to such strength that they could take on Ukraine and what happened in Afghanistan under Biden. Interestingly, Trump was going to remove the Troops in February 2020. So if Trump was president, then the exact same thing would have happened in Afghanistan just earlier.

When I look at the Trump years there seemed to be two foreign policies going on simultaneously. One was Trump’s words-videos and then the other was the other folks in the Whitehouse who were working behind the scenes doing other things. And all the firings of his cabinet secretaries and others didn’t help either.

Trump got us out of what was a bad deal with Iran - negotiated by career politicians. Biden’s ‘team’ is trying to cut an even worse ‘deal’ than the first.

Irrespective of what one may or may not feel about Trump, it’s a losing hand to argue for the job that’s been done by the political establishment - on either side of the ‘aisle’ (more like a giant ideological gulf these days).

There should be no career politicians. None. Having them is antithetical to the spirit of the Constitution, and ensures corruption.

True, and sadly, he wasn’t very good at choosing people. I liked the man, and voted for him twice, but he picked some real fungus to run his administration. I’m surprised there was room in his back for all those knives.

How many Americans were killed? ZERO. Did you want us to bomb Tehran over that?

Now I get it. It took 20 seconds of reviewing your history to understand you’re a never Trump hack.
