Deranged Rhino Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 That tactic was tried by the last administration. It didn't work. This will be working with the people of Iran to free themselves from despotism. A cause everyone should be on board with, regardless of your feelings about Trump.

Tiberius Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Hey, Trump just declared North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat and the Trumptards are going wild. I suppose the same formula will work on Iran. The Trump University strategy, Got him elected, might as well just keep going with it 1
Deranged Rhino Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 I know it's tough, Gator. If this whole world peace thing works out you'll have to find new ways to amuse yourself other than the sight of dead American soldiers, or Ambassadors, or dead school children, or administration members who have heart attacks... Well, I guess the last one wouldn't be solved by peace, so you got that going for you. But keep rooting against peace. It's a great look and lets everyone know exactly how deep your compassion runs. 1

Whole world peace? Ok!! Has Trump tweeted that, too? Because if he did, you would believe it
Deranged Rhino Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 1. DPRK = stability in South East Asia 2. Iran = stability in the ME, end to conflict in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and parts of Africa while opening the door to REAL talks between Palestine and Israel. 3. Pakistan / Israel come next.

Trump accomplished nothing there. I mean wow, talk about Mission Accomplished. Obama could have cured cancer and you guys would scream it cost too much. Trump struts around with the leader of the worst country since Hitler's Germany (arguably) and you guys are declaring he's saved the world. What a joke

Or to Putin's oligarch pals who are under some of the most targeted and crippling sanctions ever doled out on an individual level. Or to the people of Iran who are entering in their seventh month of protesting a regime and are receiving open support from the United States. No one is standing up "to our friends", but someone is standing up for us. It's perfectly reasonable to question the negotiating tactics being employed by this administration, don't misunderstand me. It's just completely inaccurate to suggest (or outright state) that US policy has somehow gotten easier on our enemies.

The most apt and often-repeated description of how many of us feel is that we cringe at things that Trump says but have approved of the things he's done. The polar opposite of his predecessor. Most of us are in the results business, not in Emily Post contests As I mentioned earlier, I get it...I don't think I'm missing anything....I do think however that it's possible to have a President that brings results without being look upon as a punch line....it'd be great for Trump to stop with the " Kim Jong Un loves his people " type of declarations....We are allowed to want both results and non idiotic statements .....

It is tough to find any decent candidate who isn't completely put off by the daily probe/grind that is fifteen months of presidential electioneering. What "normal" competent person wants to put up with that? The way things were going in DC since Bush beat Gore - if I had to trade one for the other I would trade upheaval and results over a politically correct career politician with results. Hopefully things normalize after Trump is done. But at least he's shown that (in his weird and off-putting way) you don't need a Prsident who isn't afraid to change the regular m.o. And it has been pointed out a lot around here that the side benefit is a return to checks and balances.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Trump is just what was needed. Who’d YOU want, maiden? Jeb !@#$ing Bush? No thanks

We are allowed to want & should want both. But given only 1 or the other, results please.

Who would be able to do it? What candidate would you suggest? Was there another loose American billionaire willing to finance his own campaign against the billion the Clinton Machine had? And one that would be willing to drag his family through the constant barrage of attacks from the media, the Swamp, and their misguided progressive sheep-on-the-streets? The thick skinned boorish douchebag that is Trump, is the only guy that could and would, and you should be !@#$ing thankful he did. It's been a small price to pay. Edited June 14, 2018 by OJABBA

I strongly suspect that the reason he is as successful as he has been is due in part to those idiotic statements that routinely fly from his twitter account. He has so many people flipping out over the things he tweets and that he says on camera that his opponents do little more than lose their %$#%ing minds. Think about it - who has managed to mount an effective counter to anything he's done? It can be argued that congressional republicans have been as big a hindrance as the democrats, if not more so. I've seen no real organization in any so-called resistance movement. Vagina suits? Kittie hats? Screaming uselessly at the sky? Gatorman? No, I believe the fact that he doesn't act like a typical statesman and instead more like a self-centered loose cannon has helped him more than it's hurt. 3 1

He keeps feeding them enough shitthat triggers them that they just go from one triggered point to another. If he has what most of us would consider a faux pas he just comes up with something else to change the conversation. To think, I've got to stock up on another 6 1/2 years of popcorn. 3
