I can hardly wait to hear the rationalizations.
Seriously, anybody who voted for Trump must be aware of his get out of Afghanistan now policy as he's expressed over the last dozen or so year's through dozens of tweets and numerous interviews.
Bwaaahaha
Was it all figurative or literal bs, or perhaps he didn't have a clue about what the General's knew and they had to spoon feed him?
Who knew it was so complicated?
What the heck, it's only a war, no biggie...we'll get the Mexicans to pay, no wait, this is on Pakistan and India to help...AYSM

:doh
 
I'll call it now: I bet the top 5 most hardened Trump Supporters on this Fourm will be supporting his primary opponent two years from now; if Donny Doll Hands is still around.
 
Bold Prediction: Donald Trump will blame The GOP for all his failures.
 
I'm new around here so I don't know much about the player's...the years have taught me to not underestimate the number of braindead and the depths of stupidity, ignorance, or evil...none of which appears to be extinct around here...time will tell I guess.

You have to admit that they did not back what he was doing. Now that he brought the whites down and destroyed them, he might come back, reinvent himself and become the most popular president in history OR remain a nitwit and leave office in a few months, the worst embarrassment in U.S. history.

Sadly though his bigger problem is he doesn't back himself either any longer than it takes for him to get to his phone.

So Trump sells out the whites; then he can claim the Republicans didn't back him. He takes on a more moderate stance, forcing the Republicans left so that they don't appear as nutty as Trump and he becomes popular with the masses once again. If that narrative plays out, you might be right about him. America shifts left once again.

The Poof is in the Pudding.

Obama got no place over 8 years and with a lot of goodwill at his back.

Let's see what the much hated Trump can do, given how much Obama sucked at the basics I am not willing to say that Trump will fail.

I have a feeling you will not be disappointed.

Not extinct- even seems to be increasing, one post at a time.
 
Trump: October 7, 2011, Twitter:
"When will we stop wasting our money on rebuilding Afghanistan? We must rebuild our country first,"

Feb 27, 2012 Twitter: "It is time to get out of Afghanistan. We are building roads and schools for people that hate us. It is not in our national interests," he tweeted in February 2012.

March 12, 2012
"Afghanistan is a total disaster. We don't know what we are doing. They are, in addition to everything else, robbing us blind," he tweeted in March 2012.

August 21, 2012
"Why are we continuing to train these Afghanis who then shoot our soldiers in the back? Afghanistan is a complete waste. Time to come home!" he tweeted in August 2012.

The problem is distinguishing between the trump trolls and the putin trolls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_brigades
 
Afghanistan was a policy where I disagreed with the candidate Trump. I would like to curb our involvement in the Middle East but that really requires true energy independence. I thought one of the strengths of his campaign policies was advocating greater domestic energy production. Yes, I believe we can and should drill our way out of that part of the world and leave them to themselves. However, without reaching that point, a power vacuum is not what we need.

I still favor many of his other policy positions but was never warm on isolationism. In this case, the President has moved closer to my position.

Refusal to nationbuild is not isolationism.

Were those the last dozen years where he didn't have inside information nor advice from military experts?

Should he stick to an idea even though it is bad for everybody concerned?

Whether Russian or not...they are around...from the link...

"The effect created by such Internet trolls is not very big, but they manage to make certain forums meaningless because people stop commenting on the articles when these trolls sit there and constantly create an aggressive, hostile atmosphere toward those whom they don’t like. The trolls react to certain news with torrents of mud and abuse. This makes it meaningless for a reasonable person to comment on anything there."

Obama appeased and payed off the Iranians. That is an accomplishment. But alas, Trump is in office, in part due to Obama policies, in part due to lack of a formidable opponent. I will never forgive either party's voters for nominating these poorest of choices. Now we have to deal with it. The losers are very sore, the winners are thumping their chests.
I am only speaking as an average opinionated middle aged woman, so allow me this guess. Trump is trying to keep the promises he made. His ego is too huge not to try his best. He is realizing that he has to deal with die hard political insiders who are used to their secret backroom dealings and won't let an outsider rattle their comfortable cages.
By political insiders I am speaking of career politicians from both sides. They are well versed in side show grandstanding for the average consumption, but are getting along just fine behind the curtain.
They are deathly afraid of anyone destroying their game.

Your post is just a Breitbart like lie. Obama never paid off the Iranians.

Yup, he was talking out of his arse

No, he should resign.

It's kinda ironic in that his anti-war stance was one of the few things I come closest to agreeing with him on but then we would have been much better off had Poppy Bush not set up Saddam through April Glaspie and got us into the "Mother Of All Wars"...at any rate, knowing he's a compulsive liar, I didn't take much stock in what he said and now he's delegated it to the status quo.

We're bad, we'll kill'em all, kill a gook for god...AYSM

Yours is the HuffPo version? I guess we have to agree to disagree on this one, because your opinion is not worth a nickle more than mine.

We probably see quite a few Communications interns here.

And I guessed years ago that one person could easily perform message maintenance/reinforcement on a large number of sites using computers looking for keywords/phrases.

It only makes sense to defend what customers pay for in the arenas where they are most likely to be deconstructed.

It isn't complicated at all. We should leave Afghanistan and not look back. There is no military solution to it. No political one either.
