John Johnston Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 Yes. We see that the Trump and his clownish Hegseth did not think any of this through. Did anybody in this Government think anything through? Apparently not. Putin is loving all this, and you have fools like Witkoff trying to make deals and saying incredibly stupid things like, Trump administration takes Putin at his words. Are these people are for real? America sure looks stupid most days. Between going after every Ally they had and insulting everyone, global tariffs bla, bla bla.... And people here sit and say things like Trump is working in America's interest with a straight face. No wonder world is turning it's back. 2 1 Quote

There was a poster on here, Argus, once posted a background on how Trump bought an airline with the intent of making a shuttle to his casino in Atlantic city. That was one of his bankruptcies. But the thing was, according to the poster he embarked on the whole venture based on a gut feel... No numbers analysis was done to see if it was work. It didn't. Trump seems to know that gas prices have a big impact on electability, so the fact that he's impacted gas prices for months based on this adventure should tell you that he is not a strategic thinker. Whoever made the Trump money in the first place probably was, but the progeny was not interested in math or listening to people who talked about math. That's pretty clear.. 1 1 Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner

This is a feature...not a bug. Donald Trump is a transactional pragmatist, eager to dismantle the status quo for domestic or foreign policies that do not support Trump's "America first" ideology. He was elected to break things, things that entrenched politicians are too afraid to touch. Drives Europe (and Canada) nuts ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

I'd agree that Trump is transactional, but have trouble seeing him as a pragmatist. A pragmatist is by its definition someone who is practical and evaluates situations whereas Trump appears to be a guy who is most influenced by the last person he speaks with. You would know better than I but the impression I had leaving the election was that the domestic issues of inflation and immigration were the clear voter concerns and his mandate, not 'America first' and foreign policy. It's probably fair to say that so far he's addressed neither with increasing the cost of living and a failed foreign policy that will have an impact the US and once steadfast allies for decades. He drives everyone nuts... not just Europe and Canada. 1 1 Quote

He secured the border, he's deporting illegals, he wiped the queer movement out of federal government, and I even saw a break in taxes this year - it's been a little rough since Biden's Covid carnival.

robosmith Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 (edited) @Nationalist gnat girl didn't think about it EITHER. IN FACT she pooh poohed the idea when I posted "Strait of Hormuz" in response to her denial that anything about the war affected HER. Even though she's always b1tching about the cost of pushing electric cars over ICE. LMAO Edited March 12 by robosmith Quote

WestCanMan Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 Ignore the left4rd clowns.. This is just their usual bs: "EVWEEFING DAT BAD BAD TWUMPO DO IZ WONG, MOMMY 😭!!!" The US is even stepping into the insurance gig in the Strait of Hormuz, and that didn't just start yesterday. They were talking about Iran possibly mining the strait or attacking shipping there since the very beginning. THIS WAS NEVER GOING TO BE A PERFECT WAR WITH NO COLLATERAL DAMAGE OR CASUALTIES, dummies. But it's still going better than expected. 1 1 Quote If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

Trump was elected to break things in the sense of stopping the decades long slide into globalism, progressive woke-ism, rampant illegal immigration, Marxist campus ideologies, gun rights limits, etc. Trump's political success was made possible by a very strong counter reaction to such policies by roughly 50% of Americans, more depending on the policy. Democrats and progressives are learning this the hard way. Objectively, the war with Iran and resulting Hormuz shipping conflict is just the continuation of American policies going back many decades/presidents. We have been here before...Americans have broken things many times in the past, often violently...it is how the nation was founded. 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
