I was listening to a podcast from 2017 (ancient history, I know) and the host was talking about the election of Trump (the 1st one). They didn't vote for Trump but AT LEAST he's better than Hilary because Hilary would drag us into a new war.
Refresh my memory, but was war with Iran the war he was worried about? I have a standing theory that Trump's 1st term was not scripted like the rest of the uniparty show. They fought Trump and he pushed back and won victories but when Biden took over,, it was like Trump 1 never happened.
Trump 2 is different. This war with Iran and backpedaling on amnesty seems to be right back in line with the overall script.
Setting aside your usual sophistic bullshit, what do you think "we will expel the warmongers from our government" and "I'm going to keep you out of wars" and "no, my rhetoric's going to keep us out of wars" means?
Let's apply this logic to the statement, "we had peace, we had prosperity, we had no new wars. We had no wars."
Apparently Trump meant that he was actually fine with starting a war, and also fine with chaos and destitution as well. Eh, that kind of tracks I guess.
Trump has always been very clear that nobody will want to mess with us because they know he will attack them. Peace through strength, not isolationism. Nobody could be confused about this unless they only saw out of context clips and intentionally discounted his persona.
A warmonger is somebody like John Bolton, who's not in the government. You could argue Hegseth is a warmonger, but he seems like the type to actually win the war whereas warmonger is more perpetual-war war-industry type.
OK, so did Iran mess with us? No.
That's a negative on the "I'll keep you out of wars" thing, too.
Trump's said for the last several decades they can't be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, their leader even said (more or less) they weren't going to stop doing that, and they apparently didn't stop.
They crossed our red line, so yeah they did mess with us.
Again all this policy was clearly stated by Trump.
LOL thanks for the input GWB. Go paint another dog
