Trump speech from 2016 (Video)
Fox news video reposted on twitter ^ | 2016 | Donald Trump

Posted on 04/03/2026 6:17:14 PM PDT by Mount Athos

"The people opposing us are the same people who've wasted $6 trillion on wars in the Middle East. We could have rebuilt our country twice that have produced only more terrorism, more death, more suffering. Imagine if that money had been spent right here in our home. We've totally destabilized the Middle East. And if you think about it, $6 trillion and it was far better 15 years ago.". (Click link for video)

47 is bringing recompense for 444 days of humiliation 47 years ago.

Go Trump!

Were Iraq or Afghanistan ever a major threat to the region and the world?

Lindsey Graham booed at Trump rally

This jackass standing up there repeatedly telling the crowd "Thank you!" as they're booing him mercilessly.

Please explain how we’re doing anything like that to our kids & grandchildren. Were you just as outraged about the $250 billion we sent to Ukraine for a war that didn’t affect us in any way otherwise?

Fortunately, only the key useful idiots have decided to expose themselves in this thread. Anyone who is unable to differentiate between this action and the boondoggles started by GW, Biden, and others is an idiot to begin with...

Iran: 2 questions, neither of which you nor any of the TDS Freepers will answer.

— If not now, then when?

— If not this way, then how?

The TDS Freepers never seem to be able to logically or credibly offer rational alternatives

The useful idiots and TDS Freepers ( yes, a redundancy, I know) can never rationally answer 2 simple Iran questions:

— If not now, then when?

— If not this way, then how?

Increasing debt that will almost certainly destroy the economy and lower their standards of living

And I have been and continue to be absolutely opposed to sending any money to Ukraine or anywhere else-it’s time to take care of ourselves and maybe focus any thing that has to be done on our close neighbors

Your two questions make no sense. What are you actually asking about?

And if you have the audacity to call me a “TDS Freeper,” then you obviously don’t know me. I have 25+ years and more than 115,000 posts here to my name, so you can take the time to go back through them and see how silly you sound.

Here’s a clue for you: In 2016, Donald Trump became the first political candidate at ANY level of government who I supported financially.

Look at you trying to obfuscate and deflect!

As for the past, shrug. Because, check it out! It’s today, not 2016. It’s this thread and not one 115,000 posts sgo.

Also spoiler alert! Did you know Judas was a disciple once upon a time? But people can and do change! Hint: Not always for the better...

As for your political contributions of yesteryear, methinks the Albertan doth protest too much

As for the questions, fun fact: Iran is a much-discussed topic these days!

So if you now understand the context about the attacks against Iran, again, the questions you’ll never rationally answer:

1. If not now, then when?

2. If not this way, then how?

1. If not now, then when?
How about not for the foreseeable future (i.e., consider "NEVER" to be a viable answer).

2. If not this way, then how?
See answer to Question #1.

I don’t take this personally because I consider it bizarre that some clown who signed up here in 2021 has the audacity to call me a “TDS Freeper.” LOL.

Excellent!

You’re on record to just kick the Iran can down the road. All the way to the hiding well.

All the way to mushroom clouds over Tel Aviv and Manhattan.

See? It wasn’t that hard to be honest! Kudos!

The last time I saw that kind of infantile hysteria on this website was almost exactly six years ago — when I was being scolded by Branch Covidian Freepers for refusing to shut down my business and hide under my bed during the early weeks of the COVID fiasco. LOL.
