    He was informed about this in March. And still, crickets. Now that its in the news he'll likely have to say something - but I'm expecting a word salad.

    President Trump is correcting the military strategy of obama by not responding to a worthy adversary who was defending its backyard.

    American troops in afghanistan is like russian troops in canada

    But they are making their choices based on media propaganda. The Media is choosing for them.

    However, Trump did win in 2016.

    Voters have had 4 years to express their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the results.

    It's not the feeling you have, it's the hope you feel.

    Yes, and nothing changed. Those who voted for Trump will do it again.. Those who did not, may.

    That's not what the polls say.

    But I know, they're all fake.

    Maybe you should read the Mueller report. Or do you just keep pretending the Mueller report never happened.

    Trump was doing fine till this so called pandemic struck and Democrats and the Media have convinced a lot of people that Trump ran the lab it came from. There is still some time before we actually vote and Democrats are doing all they can to kill our economy. They have their knee on our economic neck and won't let us breathe.

    Trump does little and takes a wait and see approach, like Obama did and they complain. Trump says something and he’s a war monger. So I truly don’t give a **** what Leftists think when they praised Obama for 8 yrs for inaction and remained silent when he changed soldiers rules of engagement which got them killed unnecessarily.

    Right now we have bigger fish to fry. Starting a war with Russia right now isn’t a good thing. But I’m sure that’s what Lefitsts want. MORE chaos.

    Here is some more reality for you !!!!

    https://time.com/5340060/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-summit-russia-meddling/
    A report issued by high-ranking American intelligence officials in January of 2017 concluded that Russian operatives reporting to Putin interfered in the 2016 presidential election in favor of Trump. It was drafted and compiled by the CIA, the FBI and the National Security Agency.

    The document stated that Putin “ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election” aiming to “denigrate Secretary Clinton” and showing a “clear preference for President-elect Trump.”

    It's still ironic that for the last 30 years, recessions have been coming when it's a Republican who's in the WH.

    And voters vote for a Democrat to pick up the mess.

    They just want it till they can take over the full government. No idea what they would do then because they haven't been very good at fighting wars since Harry Truman.

    Which mess did they ever actually pick up? Their usual MO is to start a war but as I said before, they aren't very good at fighting them.

    Yeah that's the biggest pile of BS and deflection. If Obama had allowed Russian bounties on US troops the RW machine would have lost their minds.

    But the hypocrisy of how they treated Obama vs Trump is so obvious and sad that even supporting Trump at the expense of US troops is paramount.

    The "fake pandemic" killed 125,000 Americans when it was supposed to miraculously disappear with the warm weather, it left 14% of Americans unemployed, the domestic debt is at 115% of GDP and this same GDP has made -5% growth in the last quarter.

    That's pretty much it.

    All that is political. Businesses did not shut down to avoid the 'pandemic' they shut down because the government ordered them to do so.

    It was hoped that warm weather would help fight the virus but I didn't see anyone promising that July would cure us.

    Open up and see if that high unemployment number won't come down some.

    Well, not really.

    All the politicians who underestimated the seriousness of this pandemic look like complete idiots today.

    And Trump is one of them.

    Of course, you can keep denying the obvious as the dead pile up, but sooner or later, reality will catch up with you.

    Because you think people would've just gone on spending like nothing happened?

    The economy has slowed down around the world and that's no surprise to the vast majority of people.

    You played with fire, and you got burnt.

    The dead aren't piling up and the politicians who look like complete idiots are the ones that try to tell us haircuts will kill you but rioting won't.

    The economy has slowed around the world because govt's. have shut down businesses around the world. Why in the world would a slow down under those conditions surprise anyone?

    Since Democrats!

    We had thousands of people demonstrating and rioting, all rubbing shoulders in huge crowds so close all the bars. You know who agrees with that? People who don't go to bars and the DNC.

    This virus is not what it was claimed to have been, the survival rate is very high. It isn't quite Ebola but Democrats and anti Trump media is milking it as if it were.

    At least 6,200 brave souls showed up to cheer Trump in Tulsa.

    The virus is not what it was claimed, so the going on 125k and more, now the concentration in the red states is the fault of Democrats. Shameless unaccountability is nothing to be proud of, nor should it be defended !!!!

    You asked me when 125k deaths became political and I told you. If you truly think Democrats aren't milking and nurturing this little opportunity then there isn't anything I can do for you. Shameless? Yes they are.
