Questions Trump’s actions
Trump: Aim of killing Iranian general was to stop a war, not start one. We believe almost nothing that Trump or his aides say. Flashback: In 2010, Trump warned that a weak and ineffective President Obama would start a war with Iran to get reelected. He’s doing it to save face and to look tough in a transparent way to get reelected. And you think Obama would do that? Really?
FOX’s Stuart Varney: Why would you impeach a president who just killed one of the world’s leading terrorist? He has already been impeached. George Conway has given Trump a nickname for that, Impotus!
He was impeached because he is ignoring his oath to the Constitution, but Republicans seem to be with him, showing more loyalty to the party than the Constitution.
With Trump deploying troops all over the Middle East, it looks like another one of his campaign promises won’t be kept. Just a month ago, he pulled our troops out of Syria to bring them home because that was one of his promises he made during his campaign. Then, he sends some our troops back to Syria to protect their oil. Shortly afterwards, he sends troops to Saudi Arabia to protect the King and his oil. He did say that the King would pay us for the cost of our troops being there. But, he also said Mexico would pay for the wall. We’ll see what happens. This brings back memories of Newt Gingrich, who said if you believe on Monday what I said on Sunday, it’s a lie.
Trump seems to be very unstable. It seems it would be a good idea to protect that bigger button than Kim Jong Un has, to keep Trump at least farther than arms-length from it.
