Trump doing what he bashed Obama for

Mach said:
Birther promoting Mycroft, you still don't get it.
Trump blasted Obama for doing it, and Trump did it too. Whether Obama did it or not is irrelevant when it's Trump's blatant hypocrisy that is the issue pointed out.

No, it's about Trump having impulse control in how matters of national importance are communicated to the officials responsible, the people on the ground, and the public.


I don't work for Trump. He works for me. Try again.


He's not acting like a boss, he's acting like an impulsive, spoiled child.
Trump ran a boutique where he was the owner, with a small, loyal, yes-man staff. In the real world Mycroft, a CEO like Tillerson, climbed up through the ranks after years of demonstrating his acumen, with peer approval, etc., to the point where he was chosen to lead a multi-national corporation, where he didn't blurt out **** all the time to the press.

Now you are just throwing **** against the wall to see if anything sticks.

But that's okay. It's what you do. Carry on.

I showed you how both of your claims are absurd. How is that throwing **** against the wall? It's like you're making this **** up.

Again:
Regarding the OP:
Trump's hypocrisy: Trump blasted Obama for doing it, and Trump did it too. Whether Obama did it or not is irrelevant when it's Trump's blatant hypocrisy that is the issue pointed out.
Why it matters aside from the blatant hypocrisy: it's about Trump having impulse control in how matters of national importance are communicated to the officials responsible, the people on the ground, and the public.
 
Hypocrisy, lying and corruption are centerpieces of this administration. Recognize it, just don't accept it as normal.

ISIS is toast. We don't care about Assad or Russia. So yeah...time to leave.

Unless you think Russia and Assad can't handle things, there's no reason for us to stay.

These CNN talking potato heads seem to think we are in a conflict with Russia in Syria.

They think that because we are. You keep cheering on Iran and Russia who along with Erogan will be the victors if we bail. Why are you so fond of brutal dictatorships? The Kurds and us did most all of the work getting ISIS out of Syria and now you want to give the victory to our enemies.

It's amazing how those who...just a few years ago...were so supportive of a President who promised to get us out of the Middle East and who did worse than fail to deliver on that problem...who, in fact, got us even more mired in the Middle East and extended that mud pit to a large portion of Africa...and now that we have a President who is actually ending our involvement, those same people want us to stay. They want us to take on new enemies.

It's freaking amazing...and freaking pathetic...what Trump-hatred will do to people.

I guess you've turned into a real hawk who thinks we should take over all of Syria so Russia doesn't get it. Am I right?

That pretty much covers it.
 
Not only has Trump tipped off everyone that he's ordering the US military to leave Syria asap (in spite of vowing to never do so), but Trump has also stabbed our best ally in the region in the back.

The reason ISIS is not yet fully defeated is because the Syrian Kurds have left the battlefield. Why? Because Trump did not object when Turkish president Erdogan publicly floated the idea of Turkish troops invading Afrin in Syria, which is a region in the Kurdish homeland of Rojava in northern Syria. With the green light from Trump, Turkish troops invaded and have killed 6,000+ Kurdish fighters. So all of the Syrian Kurd units that have been fighting with US forces since 2014 have left to return home and defend their homeland. They'll probably never again assist US forces in Syria or Iraq and I wouldn't blame them a bit.

Two days ago, the dictators of Iran, Russia, and Turkey all met in Ankara to decide how to carve up Syria. The US was not invited. Iran obtains another sanctuary for its regional and global terrorism.

Actually, we are. Not long ago, our troops cut down a whole regiment of Russian mercenaries who attacked an airbase of ours.

Mercenaries.

Shall we declare war on Russia and duke it out in Syria?
 
Troops better do what our President says and get the job done.
When this dictator barack "jerimih" obama was in power he could not care less about the progress attempted to be made...if any. President Trump,with a better strategy than this dude, the mission will be short and precised.
You liberal/Demos nitpick about every single thing our President is doing and it's getting ridiculous. Put the blame where it belongs on dictator obama who caused all of this mess.

It wasn't our airbase. It was the Syrian Democratic Militia's firebase.

My statement on the health of the political system is not a moral belief, and I am sincere.

BTW you second sentence is structured incorrectly, let us please try to bring quality to DP.

The denial with Trumpers is impenetrable with rational thought. Only alternative facts will do.

No, that would be you who is if you think this is the same thing Trump complained Obama did.

If Obama pulled this your hair would be on fire as usual. Who do you think you're kidding?
 
The shameless Trumpers lining up to deny Trump's blatant hypocrisy is like a parade of altar boys denying they stole the Cristiano Brothers Sauterne.

Confess your stupidity. And then do your penance.

Not really, since I said back then that if we weren't going to deploy a major force and kick everyone's ass, there's no point in deploying troops at all.

We knoe damn good-n-well though, that if Clinton was president (she lost ya know) that the Libbos would be calling her a genius.
