I just don't understand the immediacy this week. May be he thinks we're going to war, we don't know. I'm just dismayed that he signed a last minute bill without ANYONE knowing what the details are. Remember Pelosi's Obamacare, "We need to pass it, so see what's in it"? I never thought Trump would do the same.
Plus, he could have used his political capital to insist on a separate Military Strength Act or something to that effect in a few months. This was bad move and weakens his position with the opposition.
I understand what you are saying, and my response is that Trump, who is no shrinking violet, must have his reasons.
Funny thing here is that during the campaign, I was sharply critical of Trump on this board and even was place on “posting probation” for some of my comments. Posters here were very harsh responding to my posts. I didn’t vote for him in the primary, and only voted for him in the general to save us from Clinton. My point then was that I am a conservative, and Trump was not.
Now, I’m actually warming up to him. Were the primary tomorrow, I’d vote for him in an instant. Oddly, those here who were most critical of me on FR are cooling towards Trump and seemingly want his scalp.
Will we ever be on the same page?
Watch how that plays out in the next month or so...
The very last thing he'll do is to publicly short-change our military services.
