"Obama signed more Executive Orders than all previous Presidents"

Combined, even. Oh, wait; less than Shrub, Clinton, Raygun, Carter, Nixon, LBJ, Ike....

Since Trump is doing the same thing - governing by exec order and ignoring Congressional subpoenas - and you think Trump is doing a great job, you must like it.

-------------------------------------------------

As for Trump and his actions in the ME, remember, he was handed the cards on the ME when he took office. He didn't start those wars and so far, he's been reluctant to commit to expansion of wars. In fact, he tried to pull out of Syria and lost SecDef Mattis as a result. So my position on Trump is not contradictory. He is doing a great job and he's doing his best in the ME.

He started a new conflict with Iran, he bombed Iraq's biggest civilian airport to assassinate an Iranian general traveling through the country - those are new aggressive actions on his part which you support.

He said he wanted to pull out of Syria when he turned over a Kurdish area to Turkish militias and Russians mercenaries who have been shooting our former Kurdish allies on sight. He okayed the ethnic cleansing of those former allies against ISIS. Then he decided to permanently occupy a Syrian oil field. This all occurred after Mattis resigned.

And it IS contradictory to say you want to ultimately destroy Iran's nuclear capacity but not right now ... apparently you want to wait till they have a chance to further develop their nukes and missile delivery systems or to wait for them to put a nuke on a ship and float it to our east coast.

He has consistently sent MORE troops to more countries in the ME.

------------------------------------------------------------






would be nice if the Democrats would stop with their non-sense distractions, so that he can do his job without constantly worrying that 50% of the people under him are trying to stab him in the back and wreck every effort he makes to help the American People.

Cut with the crap. Democrats are doing nothing but what Republicans did during the Obama years.

----------------------------------------------

As for Iran, I am not for total war against Iran. We can bomb their nuke facilities and not be in a total war with them. Ground forces are what total war means. Israel bombed Iran's nukes awhile ago and got away with it. We have many options, and yes, the sooner the better.


That;s silly. Bombing all Iran's nuclear sites (which Israel did NOT do) would mean a major war.

------------------------------------------------------



Lastly, on China, they do and have controlled NK. China leave NK to act like the rabid dog, because it distracts the US. China's game is very simple. Let the US exhaust ourselves and all our resources policing the world and facing off against all the rabid dogs in the ME and NK and Russia, while China expands their economy, their trade deals, their loans, their infrastructure, their military, and their supply of stolen IP from the US. They have been doing this for 30 years and they'll keep playing this game. It's brilliant and right now, since the US can't get its head out of its ass, we are falling right into the moves China wants us to make.

Sounds like an admission Trump doesn't know how to manage China.

MAybe we should only fight a trade war against China along with our allies, and not on the whole world at a time. MAybe we should've stayed in TPP.

Iraq has now officially requested that American troops leave the country and the Trump administration has said no, Do you support Trump refusing to leave Iraq and fighting to stay? Remember, you claim you want us to leave.
