I fucking hate Trump, probably more than you can imagine - but this article brings up one of the few things I thought he tried to do right - get us out of wars that we were mired in.
Of course, he did a shitty job because he's an overall incompetent person when it comes to anything besides selling himself, but he did try.
And although I didn't read the whole thing, the parts I did make me realize that I agree with the whole bring it out in the open part as well - if we're hiding that we are supporting evil dictators, most people consider that bad.
Anyway, even with all that, I still hate him with a passion and I may make it my mission in retirement to piss on his grave, literally :) - childish but it would make me feel good.
- amanaplanacanal 6y agoI only mostly agree with you, in that he seems to be trying to spin up a war with Iran. It’s hard to know what his actual goals are here.
- kungito 6y agoI keep hearing how he's getting USA out of wars but then I go to wikipedia and read stuff like At the beginning of Donald Trump's presidency in early 2017, there were fewer than 9,000 American troops in Afghanistan.[92] By early summer 2017, troop levels increased by about 50%; there were no formal plans to withdraw.[93][94][95] In August 2019, the Taliban planned to negotiate with the U.S. to reduce troop levels back to where they had been when Trump took office,[96] but Trump canceled the negotiations after a Taliban attack.[97] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Afghanistan_(2001%E2%80%93present)#cite_note-95 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Afghanistan_(2001%E2%80...
