I didn't watch, but I guess Trump is giving up on nation building and has decided that shooting terrorists is the better solution.
The nation-building fluff was all bullshit.
Much like his promises about "jobs" and rebuilding the US manufacturing industry.
This administration has done nothing but gut the government and destroy funding to things like healthcare, diplomacy, scientific research.
I'd say the same thing about trump's apparent 'libertarian' leanings.
I see him as a cheap con-man peddling populism to the masses, then shamelessly failing to honour any of his promises.
Trump is the most impotent president the USA im history.
He's battling against the modern world - against protection of the environment, against social welfare policies - and against any kind of intellectual authority.
It's sad to see how much resentment trump has for people trying to make the world a better place.
His insecurity, resentment and ignorance is putting millions of human lives at risk - in america and around the world.
His spin-doctors and supporters are having an increasingly hard time trying to cover up and explain away the trump administration's deep dysfunction - seeing steve bannon get booted was pretty hilarious.
"The art of the deal"?
Trump's shit outta luck, and the rest of his term is going to be miserable for him - if he even makes it through the next 3 years.
Good - he's a spiteful, bitter and incredibly self-absorbed charlatan.
Healthy democracies don't let people like him achieve such powerful positions of leadership.
Trump seems to promote this idea of his family being the next american political dynasty, but his name has become a global laughing stock.
He should have stuck to being a pimp like his father.
Do you think anything could have changed more recently that could make trump change his mind?
Did you know that because Isis have been getting battered in Syria and Iraq over the last year that they are heading for Afghanistan again? Which they weren't doing in 2013.
ISIS have been active in afghanistan for at least a couple of years.
When you say "heading for afghanistan again" - are you sure you're not confusing ISIS for al qaeda?
I'm pretty sure most of trump's war talk is a sign of desperation.
His team has crumbled under his "leadership", he's alienating a lot of very powerful people - and is incredibly unpopular.
A lot of white house leaks have indicated that his advisers need to 'protect' him from criticism or negative press that will trigger his tantrums and angry tweets, but surely the old bastard must be at least somewhat aware of how much most of america hates him.
He's going to send people off to fight unwinnable wars to attempt to salvage some kind of popularity.
Not really the sort of noble act political figures are remembered fondly for.
I suspect he knows he's fucking doomed, but is trying to distract and rally the american people behind another pointless war.
Pretty low for a draft-dodger with a record like his.
He's always been in it for himself.
He is devoid of credibility, and seemingly has no agenda beyond normalising his reactionary politics of envy.
It's a cautionary tale in who not to vote for - incompetent, inexperienced hateful brats have no place in a job like his.
I hope his presidential cos-play act is over sooner rather than later.
