Trump says he would have made a 'good general' while trashing Mattis.

Says

• He would have made a good general.
• He fired former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis: "What's he done for me? Not too good"

https://www.businessinsider.com/tru...e-a-good-general-while-trashing-mattis-2019-1

It was unfortunate for us that he had a life-threating medical problem, "bone spurs." If not for that, he would've single-handedly ended the war much earlier!

BTW, did he have bone spurs problem 5 times? Had it been miraculously cured after the war?

Notice also that he was more concerned about what Mattis did (or didn't) to him than to the country.

Is it really worth a thread every time Trump does something embarrassing? Everyone knew this was coming.

It’s hard. Every time I try to understand people that wholeheartedly support him and I listen to him talk extensively about anything, it just boggles my mind all over again.

It should concern everyone that the 4 star generals are concerned. Mattis was far from the only one. They view things in terms of “we”- and values. Trump views terms solely in terms of “me”- and everything boils down to his ego & $$$. Purely transactional, in other words.

That’s a YUGE problem in terms of national security and foreign relations. I wouldn’t put it past him to start a conflict prior to 2020- if he’s around that long.

None of this should surprise anyone. It’s not as if this wasn’t known since the beginning. His opponent sucked- I have acknowledged this, and many others have as well. But at least she wasn’t dangerous to our national security. BUT HER EMAILS!!!

One simple solution is not to open such thread. You are smart enough to know how not to click a thread that has "Trump" on the title.

Well then again if he was a positive voice in any sense of the word...but he is not, so what else can one post? This is OUR president on display, what else is there....silence? Let the lies overwhelm and fall in line with the plan?

That heel spur must have spread and affected his brain too. Its a rare sort that he is suffering from.

The two medals must have been bravery for marching and playing golf whilst having heel spurs.

I’m going to give him credit here for the prison reform bill he supports. In his two years, it’s the first thing he has done that actually seems to be beneficial to someone besides he and his buddies.

That iniative had been in the works long before this clown showed up, which is why I am surprised he signed it.

The world according to General Trump:


It would take me quite a few pints of beers to be able to talk so confidently about a subject matter I know little about!!

"A lot of these places you're reading about now are no longer part of Russia..." So basically, Trump just read about Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, etc. for the first time this morning.

Russia was in Afghanistan because of terrorists coming into Russia?? Who knew.


More crap -- multi thread:

So much to unpack. He really isnt well. Has absolutely no idea of how the world works.

The old Aristotle saying; the more you know, the more you know don't know. But in General Trump's case, its the less you know, the more you know that you know.

Maybe he knows that's where his sons and daughters will be residing in a few years? Of course, I am assuming that he will wiggle out of it somehow.

Don't you know who he thinks he is?!?

He is who you want him to be. For some the 2nd coming of Jesus. To others, he is a knobhead.

In his mind, he is Ron Jeremy with money and brains -- and without the fat hairy belly.

 

[DrHoops]

He also trashed retired 4 Star General Stanley McChrystal.

'In a New Year's Day post to Twitter, Trump said retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal is "known for [a] big, dumb mouth" and that he "got fired like a dog by Obama." The president identified McChrystal as a "general," apparently deriding the former military official by placing his title in quotes, and called him a "Hillary lover."'

Trump is making civilian/military relationship toxic, per the conservative American Enterprise Institute:

http://www.aei.org/publication/dirty-waters-civilian-military-relations-are-growing-toxic/

Trump is a complete failure on every possible metric.

For Damn good reasoning, Trump is trying to make it HIS by getting rid of anyone that gives advice contrary to what he wants to hear. Wannabe dictator.

It's a good reminder that he is a POS narcissistic sociopath.

At least he's not Hilary.

 

[IUPaterade724]

Whattabout her foundation that was legitimate, and Trump's being shut down for most likely money laundering. Whatabout hillary's emails which Ivanka and whoever else did private business. Projection at its finest.

The people who believe this, basically have a mental dumpster fire that forces their ridiculous belief. How anyone can trust that fat(fat as all hell) man, his own doctor faked the weigh in and physical. Talks like a con-man treating our allies like dirt. Does business with Russia, turkey, China and the Saudis. No allegiance to our allies. He was a business "mogal" that started with Daddy's money and he ended up having to go look oversees in the countrys that are not allies, dare I say enemies. Not to mention his family doing is the dirty work.

Not sure he can top this!! He is a laugh a minute!

More like disgust, and sometimes fear. Those come before outrage. But there’s still plenty of outrage. It must be pointed out, so it’s not normalized. None of this is normal, or OK in any way. It’s a PSA for the lost on this board.

Let me put it to you this way: If you someone (unexpectedly and unjustifiably) hit you in the face, wouldn’t you react? Please explain to me how that clown show/circus yesterday was acceptable (or even necessary). It’ll give me a better window into your world.

So, the reactions aren’t warranted? What he does is A-ok? We’ve got a completely clueless guy that takes the words of our enemies in the world over those of our enormous intelligence services. He literally parroted something about Russia (why they invaded Afghanistan) that was completely untrue, and was revisionist history.

In short, refusing to acknowledge the insanity is the first step in making it ok. It’s not ok. Does that make sense?

It amazes me that folks react to the reactions, and not what the hell he just did. Unlike you guys, I give a chit when I see our country making a descent into a really bad place. He’s making us less safe. Every. Single. Day.

The difference is that even though you may not have liked their policies, they were competent. And they had our country’s interest at heart, first, and always.

This guy is a total 180 from those things. Hes the epitome of the Dunning-Kruger effect (shout out to Rock- he introduced us here to the concept). I’ve never seen a more clueless person in such a high position. And I hope to never see it again.

Literally nothing he has done in life has been honest, or secured by hard work and integrity. I’ve never seen a person absent of any good qualities make it as far as he has made it. It’s an indictment of our country that someone like that can be allowed to do what’s he done. It’s also kind of what makes it unique- extreme freedom has allowed him to do what’s he done.

In other words, because of having serious seed money and a complete lack of a moral compass, he’s been able to con his way into everything. Because our country’s freedoms allowed it. By any objective measure, his “business” prowess is a complete fallacy. I’ve never seen a worse negotiator. He’s the ultimate con man.

The problem is that he’s threatening those freedoms that enabled him to be where he is. That’s where the outrage comes from.

 

[DrHoops]

He is a total disaster in every way. I can’t think of a single thing he’s done that has been good for America. Beyond that, he’s a disgusting man, a liar, a cheater, a criminal, and a traitor.

Everything else has been destructive. I hope the hangover isn’t as bad as I think it will be.

When Melania was still learning English, she asked Donnie if those were the same boner spurs he had during the Vietnam War.
