Some Freepers will defend anything Trump says, but it is disgraceful for an American president to run down his own country like this. There is a difference between killing people in war and murdering your political opponents.

This is what Trump does; says something hyperbolic that everyone will be talking about the next day.

The fact of Obama’s and Bush’s horrendous foreign policy failures will now become front and center.

If there’s any doubt how Trump feels about this country, then you’re on the wrong train.

Unbelievable ignorance simply to defend the anti-Russia POV in your comment and some others in this thread.

I agree, he was definitely talking about what Clinton/Obama did. I got no problem with him saying that. He’s shooting straight from the hip, no subterfuge.

The President is not wrong about US.

America started with an inspired plan. Unfortunately, because we, the voters, rarely have had the integrity to place integrity in high places, we, the people, have historically failed to live up to it.

We were on the side of right and wrong the last century, but often had to be dragged kicking and screaming over to the right side. We are standard issue humans, same as everyone else.

Just look at US now prancing about in our new, politically correct self-righteousness, while at the same time sacrificing our most innocent to __?__ simply because of their inconvenience.

For decades now we have been drinking the same poisons that first hooked and then killed the old Soviets, with many of the same bitter fruits now to show for it.

Just look at what is currently stirring up our nation's inner dialog and re-shaping our destiny by getting us to rewrite our definitions of right and wrong and of who and what we are.

To be honest, I sometimes wish we had the eyes to see the actual creatures that are stirring us, and I'm also kinda happy that I don't. From what little I do know about them, they absolutely terrify me.

Trump's right...again...and the self-righteous are once again casting their stones while standing in quicksand.

Whatever it might look like, this is actually an eternity test for both individuals and nation and far too many of us currently are not passing it.

He may have been referring to Obama’s drone attacks on American citizens (a teenager, as I recall) with no judicial or constitutional protections.

I guess you’ve forgotten about the “Bonus Army, Waco, Ruby Ridge, the Murrah building, and many more disgraceful episodes.

Trump is right, and you are blind.

My grandfather was OSS. My uncle was security for a number of agencies. He won’t talk about them.

It did come up in conversation about some bad guy or another overseas that he should be taking a dirt nap.

I was told “if the President wanted him dead, he’d be dead.”

I raised my eyebrows.

“We do it all the time.”

Murder is murder. Nobody claimed a moral equivalency except the media who somehow knew what Trump really meant to say. The problem is, he didn't say anything other than are we innocent, we're not - we kill/murder - look it up, there are countless cases.

I guess he got the heads up before the rest of US saying that the military was not posting their air strike results for Years! Now I believe war is war and you fight to win but I like this honesty and it pulls the ladder out under the libs feet!
