The Trump Presidency 15

Trump Tweets

Joe Biden is a reclamation project. Some things are just not salvageable. China and other countries that ripped us off for years are begging for him. He deserted our military, our law enforcement and our healthcare. Added more debt than all other Presidents combined. Won’t win!

Do any other posters here have any thoughts on former President Biden?

There is a thread dedicated to the Dem. candidates. You'll get lot of thoughts on him and the others.

Suggest you read more carefully.

I don't think Trump wrote "reclamation." Good line, though. Otherwise fake post. Trump was never good for military or veterans.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

That's sick even for Trump. Then again, it's possible Trump has no idea who he is. He just sees a (white) man in uniform and decides he's a good person.

Raised on John Wayne movies, they don't believe any US soldiers would do that. But they do believe soldiers would lie to get even with a commanding officer.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Of course they didn't. The described it accurately. You are incorrect as always.

And take the Statue of Liberty off your avatar. That's for real Americans.

Quite ironic to ignore the immigrants part of that symbol.

 

[Beerina]

Remember, a big criticism of Obama, from the right, was that he could only speak with a teleprompter.

Also that he played way too much golf.

And that his skin was a funny color.

So if it was on the teleprompter, someone should ask the press secretary if they've found the rascal yet, and fired him or her.

LOL! Mea culpa!

It's ironic that JW made plenty of war films where he was the hero but never served.
Like Trump he got a medical deferment because of bad feet.

Some of his hollywood colleagues like Clarke Gable and Jimmy Stewart volunteered and served with distinction.

JW actually got a 3A deferment due to having 4 dependent children, not because of bad feet. After two deferments, he became ineligible due to his age.

Chicken more like, more worried about his career.

Henry Fonda had a wife and three kids and he joined ranks.

Clarke Gable was 41and Gene Autry was only four months younger than Wayne when he signed on.

No respect for him or his portrayals of a combat hero.
He should have stuck to cowboy films.

You'll get no argument from me about that! Leslie Howard (Ashley, GWTW), while British and not American, volunteered and was killed when his plane went down. He was never found.

My mother had the exact same opinion of Wayne as you which caused some disharmony as my dad was a big JW fan. She'd rant every time Dad watched The Green Berets.

I haven't had much time to be in this section for a while (and catching up seems like a bit of a daunting task, TBH), but I felt this was worth posting. Apologies if it's already been covered:

Trump was widely expected to pardon Gallagher if he was convicted. He may still do so to forestall further prosecution.

I think he would have if Gallagher had been convicted of murder. All Gallagher has now is being found guilty of posing with the dead fighter which got him a demotion, reduction in pay, and 4 month confinement which is already met as time served. I don't think there will be any further prosecution. If Trump were smart (and therein lies the problem!), he would let it go due to any pardon being very controversial. Unfortunately, Trump thrives on being controversial because he gets to be the center of attention. That's all that matters to him.

From leaked emails from the UK's US ambassador:

Britain's ambassador in the United States has described President Donald Trump and his administration as "inept" and "uniquely dysfunctional", according to leaked diplomatic memos published by the Mail on Sunday.

Ambassador Kim Darroch reportedly said Trump's presidency could "crash and burn" and "end in disgrace", in the cache of secret cables and briefing notes sent back to Britain seen by the newspaper.

"We don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept," Darroch allegedly wrote in one dispatch.

He reportedly wrote that the "vicious infighting and chaos" inside the White House -- widely reported in the US but dismissed by Trump as "fake news" -- was "mostly true".

...Darroch criticised Trump's fraught foreign policy on Iran, which has prompted fears in global capitals of a military conflict, as "incoherent" and "chaotic".

He allegedly said the president's assertion, that he called off retaliatory missile strikes against the Iranian regime after a US drone was shot down because it risked killing 150 Iranians, "doesn't stand up".

I doubt it. The DOJ has a lot of skeletons in their closet regarding Epstein and aTrump could have **** a guy on 5th Avenue and his partisan AG would prevent the investigation.

Whoops.
That was quite a leak.


“Incoherent, chaotic, infighting, inept, dysfunctional.” Yep. Pretty much nailed it.

Excuse me. “uniquely dysfunctional.” Le mot juste
