“Trump is just the useful idiot being employed as a front by a nebulous cohort of ‘end times’ Christian fundamentalists.”
More likely the neocons who were behind the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
One of President Trump’s self aggrandising boasts about his first term was that he hadn’t started any major foreign wars. If anything, he seemed to be a throwback to that old tradition of American isolationism, with his constant mantra of “America First”.
That seemed to be popular with his voters, so I can’t believe they are happy with him starting wars left, right and centre. The midterm elections will be interesting..
“Yep he did just say that”.
I saw him in a press conference earlier this week. I thought he looked and sounded very unwell. I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t make it to the end of his term.
“I agree that Iran is harsh on its own citizens”.
A slight understatement. It has murdered thousands of its own citizens this year alone.
