“I don’t want to be the president of the world,” Donald Trump declared in Washington on 4 April. “I’m the president of the United States. And from now on, it’s going to be America first.”

A week later, he stood alongside the secretary-general of Nato and told reporters at the White House: “Right now, the world is a mess. But I think by the time we finish, I think it’s going to be a lot better place to live ... because right now it’s nasty.”

"What happened to 'America First'?"

The MSM and goons like you.


I can't tell if you really don't know what you want and will just hate on everything Trump does, or if you're just gloating now.

Wow, yeah- good question! I read an excellent analysis, quite long, which I'll quote in brief. This from the Saker, who I check in with whenever I want a technical analysis of weapons capability ...

Quote:

... I don’t think that anybody
Except a rather large portion of the American public, but I digress ...
Quote:

seriously believes that Assad or anybody else in the Syrian government really ordered a chemical weapons attack on anybody. To believe that it would require you to find the following sequence logical: first, Assad pretty much wins the war against Daesh which is in full retreat. Then, the US declares that overthrowing Assad is not a priority anymore (up to here this is all factual and true). Then, Assad decides to use weapons he does not have. He decides to bomb a location with no military value, but with lots of kids and cameras. Then, when the Russians demand a full investigation, the Americans strike as fast as they can before this idea gets any support. And now the Americans are probing a possible Russian role in this so-called attack. Frankly, if you believe any of that, you should immediately stop reading and go back to watching TV. For the rest of us, there are three options ...
So Saker doesn't think that Assad "gassed his own people" this time either, because - just like the previous time - there were far too many downsides and absolutely no benefits from such an action.

Quote:

I think that there is no need to dwell on the total illegality of this [American] attack. I would just underscore the supreme irony of a country basically built by and run by lawyers ... whose general population seems to be totally indifferent to the fact that their elected representatives act in a completely illegal manner. All that most American people care about is whether the illegal action brings victory or not. But if it does, absolutely nobody cares. You disagree? Tell me, how many peace demonstrations were there in the USA about the totally illegal US aggression on Yugoslavia? Exactly. QED.

My son perfectly summed up what Trump’s actions have resulted in: “those who hated him still hate him while those who supported him now also hate him“. Wow! How did Trump and his advisors fail to predict that? Instead of fulfilling his numerous campaign promises (and his own Twitter statements) Trump decided to suddenly make a 180 and totally betray everything he stood for. I can’t think of a dumber action, I really can’t. I have to say that Trump now appears to make Dubya look smart. But there is much, much worse.

The worst aspect of this clusterf**k is how utterly immoral this makes Trump appear. Think of it – first Trump abjectly betrayed Flynn. Then he betrayed Bannon.

[Sidebar: I mostly liked Flynn. I had no use for Bannon at all. But the fact is that they were not my best friends, they were Trump’s best friends. And instead of standing up for them, he sacrificed them to the always bloodthirsty Neocons in the hope of appeasing them. This is what I wrote about this stupid and deeply immoral betrayal the day it happened:

Remember how Obama showed his true face when he hypocritically denounced his friend and pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.? Today, Trump has shown us his true face. Instead of refusing Flynn’s resignation and instead of firing those who dared cook up these ridiculous accusations against Flynn, Trump accepted the resignation. This is not only an act of abject cowardice, it is also an amazingly stupid and self-defeating betrayal because now Trump will be alone, completely alone, facing the likes of Mattis and Pence – hard Cold Warrior types, ideological to the core ... The worst aspect of that is that by betraying people left and right Trump has now shown that you cannot trust him, that he will backstab you with no hesitation whatsoever.

... During his campaign Trump made a lot of excellent promises and he did inspire millions of Americans to support him. I personally believe that he was sincere in his intenti

It would be nice to be a fly on the wall and know why they would want to lie about Assad... to know what the end-game is here. But we'll never know the reasons for it. I have no doubt a bunch of kids died, but I don't believe the story about how or why it happened. One thing is for sure.... Somebody, most likely a whole lot of somebodies, don't value human life at all.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We sure won the lottery when we were born here instead of somewhere over there. I don't know why the blatant disregard for human life has not come home to roost yet, but I'm sure they have their reasons for that. I have a lot of ideas on that one. One day it will happen though.

And when people here are dying from this or that, most of us sheep are going to believe whatever the MSM tells us are the reasons for it. Even if they don't make any sense at all.


Everything is fake.


Have a happy Easter everybody.

You guys are not getting my point. My point is that Trump is being exactly who some of us here predicted he would be. You argued with us claiming he wouldn't be like this, but instead would be something, someone else.

He was going to drain the swamp, instead he filled it. He was going to put it to China. Well, maybe not anymore. After all, Trump meet the Chinese leader and found out he's a great guy. He was going to tear up NAFTA em, never mind. NATO is obsolete, two weeks later, not any more. America first, as soon as I fix the rest of the world. Now do you get my point. The point of this thread? It's time to start saying;

We told you so

He was gloating. But of course I knew they would do this, troll and haters were going to claim victory if anything went wrong, which it was guaranteed to, just as they painted anyone who didn't buy their bullsh*t as being Trump supporters. So, no, you didn't, you guys told us he would be Hitler. Instead so far he's a little weak, when the deep state pushes. Also remember that you guys suggested that we all support a pro-deep state coup to overthrow Trump, and now you're saying that the problem with Trump is he's too obedient to the wishes of the deep state? I'd agree with that last, but the whole logical chain is circular

6, it's pretty straightforward in a twisted sort of way. The DS wants a war, but absent that, the appearance of a war. "It does not matter if the war is going well, or at all. All that matter is that a state of war exist." Orwell is right, war is the engine for bad policy. So, Trump gives them authority for very limited war so they can play each explosion on every channel.

The first one, they took the command, and blew up a bunch of kids.

The second one, he said "I do this one, and I don't tell anyone when or how" so he arranged with Putin, who called Assad who we assume ordered the evacuation. I believe that the local troops stayed because they had videos of the attacks. That is probably correctly six victims from the Syrian Army. The family bombed with the stray bomb is fake news. The airstrip is in a vast nothing. even with houses around the statistical chances of hitting one are a trillion to one.

The third one the deep state was like, no, we're not letting him have this kind of no drama trauma conflict, so we're going to take the reigns,. then they had a bunch of people pose for a selfie as ISIS of iraq, holding up flags that said so, while they were standing like 20 of them in the middle of absolute complete gorram nowhere, they look ridiculous, and then the DS is like "this is who we're bombing" and then they ran the MOAB, and claimed victims... The afghans had no idea anything had happened. The whole ISIS thing is a snow job because the DS runs ISIS, they got them to pose for the selfie and who knows where they really are, but we know the real ISIS is boxed in with enemies on all sides, so they're not in Afghanistan.

So, this is a fake war to create the war mentality in the absence of war while the deep state finds another way to overthrow those govts. It's a Trump false narrative because the balatant opposition was too much for the DS.

Your post is just a bunch of subjective crap. Paranoia run amok. Gloating, not really. Concerned is more apropos. That said, I am reminding those here who argued Trump was honest, and a good choice for president, that their judgement sucks. That their logic and deductive skills are non-existent. And that as P. T. Barnum said. There's a sucker born every minute. You guys are those suckers.

Dig up those posts where anybody here said he was honest. I want to see them. I don't believe that those words were ever said by any person here and you're just making shit up again.

I'm still thrilled that we don't have Hillary. I'm a little concerned at recent events, but overall I think things have been going fine. I've actually complained very little in the last 3 months. My recent disappointment is nothing compared to the whining and bitching coming from you since Trump was elected.
