The other person follow up with a metaphor and it accomplished the same thing. You decided to poke holes in it because you saw the situation different which is why using them confuses the situation more than actually helps. Being direct with your opinion is a much better course than trying to wrap it within a metaphor. Even if Trump was crazy enough to believe this would alleviate impeachment pressure it actually had the opposite effect and added just another nugget to the pile of gold the Dems continue to dig up on this situation. Hell, with him trying to have the G7 summit at his hotel at a time like this just shows an absolute dereliction of judgement on an scale probably never seen in the White House. At least you trust Trump to always have a plan, I on the other hand do not have your faith. Also you would be correct if you stated less world policing if not for the fact that he just moved troops from one area to another one then talked about how the Saudis are paying for it as if the US military is some type of mercenary force to be sent to the highest bidder. I guess bringing our Troops back home is outweighed by how much money someone else is willing to offer up. |
They did so likely for the same reason I eventually did. Direct wasn't getting the conversation anywhere, and so I could have just dropped it, or tried something else, as they did.
Fools Gold maybe. The Dems have a lot of what they think is armor penetrating firepower, and maybe it would be if aimed at a different tank, yet it tends to bounce off Trump most of the time for whatever reasons. Having it at his own hotel does look bad, but if it's a worthy place to have it, or the best place, then it's no different than if he wasn't Prez and they had it there. It's not like every Gov event is being held at Trump properties, because that would certainly be worthy of concern. Obama's admin let Trump redevelop the Washington Post Office, and that wasn't a problem then since Trump wasn't Prez, so for Trump Corp to get another contract like that it would look bad now, but it's not like it would actually be out of the norm.
Aren't the troops moving to join troops who are elsewhere already? Less world policing would include policing in less places across the globe. Now while I may be correct, would it be justified? Don't you think the U.S. should be remaining to help the Kurds anyway? Wouldn't that negate that point regardless?
