NY Times: ZOMG, Trump Was Against Forever Wars, What If He Starts A New One?

It’s amazing the lengths that Democrats will go to oppose President Trump ordering the drone strike that took out a stone cold terrorist, a guy with the blood of thousands of American soldiers killed and wounded, because Democrats are infested with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Had it been President Hillary Clinton, they would be lauding her for taking Suleimani out. Perhaps they should have read the opinion piece by Tom Cotton in the Times on how bad a person Soleimani actually was before they published this front page opinion piece disguised as news

Trump Sold Voters on Stopping ‘Endless Wars.’ What if a New One Starts?

Almost exactly four years ago, Donald J. Trump touched down at an airport hangar here, delivered a donation to a group that provides service dogs to veterans and, before inviting a few kids to run around on his Boeing 757, criticized the wars in the Middle East that many local families had sent their sons and daughters to fight in.

“I’m the guy that didn’t want to go to war,” he told a crowd of several hundred. “It’s just unjust, it’s a mess,” Mr. Trump went on, promising that if he ever did deploy the military anywhere, it would be “so strong, so powerful that nobody is going to mess with us anymore.”

That November, Dubuque County voted Republican in the presidential election for the first time since 1956, when Dwight Eisenhower was on the ballot.

Mr. Trump’s success in places like Dubuque — heavily white, working class, union-friendly and Catholic — remade the Republican electorate. And his path to a second term depends heavily on whether those voters turn their backs on the Democratic Party again.

But the specter of a new conflict in the Middle East — this time with Iran — threatens the political coalition that Mr. Trump built in 2016 by running against a national Republican Party that many voters came to see as indifferent and unresponsive, particularly when it came to the human cost of war.

A couple points. First, a lot of us disagreed with Trump’s notion of not getting involved in Afghanistan and Iraq. We do agree that they way they were fought was dumb, turning into quagmires. Second, most of us were not considering this part of Trump’s campaign as more than a minor point, especially since we know that once a person takes office things often look quite different. Barack Obama was almost going down the same roads in 2008, and was quickly educated on the Way The World Works, to the point that an opinion piece in the same NY Times was taking him to task. In late 2016, of course, rather than back in his first term. After starting a war in Libya, sort of maybe getting involved in Syria. Drone striking jihadis all across the Middle East, Northern Africa, and southern Asia.

Anyhow, let’s hear from a Trump voter who’s upset

“All he’s been saying is, ‘We’re getting out of there, we’re getting out of there, we’re getting out of there,’” said Mark Blume, a contractor in Dubuque who stopped into the local American Legion after work one evening last week for a beer.

Mr. Blume, who was raised in a Democratic household in New York and said he voted for Republicans and Democrats in presidential elections but did not vote for either Mr. Trump or Hillary Clinton in 2016, expressed fatigue with the president’s erratic style. If it weren’t for that, he would be less uncertain about voting for Mr. Trump, who he believes has done a better than expected job as president.

Oh, he didn’t vote for Trump. Huh. They did find some other quotes by a few people who never said they voted for Trump, and even from Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carleson, but, at the end of the day, Trump is not starting a forever war with Iran. Heck, there’s essentially been a cold war going on with Iran since 1979. And, if Iran doesn’t want any, then they should stop killing and wounding Americans. Trump did not start this.

And, I dare say that the vast majority of people who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 approve of killing Soleimani. We also approved of Obama killing Osama Bin Laden. This is just the NY Times attempting to slam Trump for killing Soleimani. Funny, how the same paper doesn’t slam Iran and Soleimani. Though writer Jeremy Peters lost the Narrative at the end

As Mr. Blume ordered another round at the American Legion, he considered the last three years under Mr. Trump. “He’s made my life better,” he said, citing the steady stream of contracting work he had been getting because of the healthy economy. “I haven’t lacked.”

Wait, life is good? Huh.

            The fact is, the “Magic Mangoloid’s” economy is not doing any better than the Obama economy. It’s around 2% growth, not tRump’s promised “3,4,5, even 6%!” Job growth is the same as under President Obama. Stock market increased 150% with Obama, and 44% (so far) for the Magic Mangoloid.

            There’s nothing special about the Mangoloid’s economy other than the needless explosion of the national debt. It’s built on low paying retail and service jobs, welfare for farmers ($25 billion!) and fewer high paying manufacturing job.

            Now that tRump has succored his rich constituency with tax cuts he has to whittle the debt by cutting SS, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP.

            I really don’t know where you get your information from but for 8 years under the Mocha God our economy was basically STAGNANT which is why you leftist nut jobs kept blaming everything on Bush. Or are you casually forgetting repeating how it was “Bush’s economy” every time they “unexpectedly reevaluated the numbers DOWN” after announcing some propaganda stupidity?

            But it was all good for illegals, African immigrants, criminals, abortionists and communist sympathizers withing the DoJ. So that’s some accomplishment for the Magic Negro.

            Kye,

            The jobs reports I linked above. Pretty clear that the rate of jobs growth hasn’t changed.

            Yesterday, I listed a number of articles demonstrating that manufacturing jobs were decreasing and farmers were being given an extra $25 billion or so to compensate for the damage done by tariffs.

            Where do YOU get your information?

            The Mango Messiah/Magic Mangoloid has not stopped the 10 yr economic expansion, so yay! And it’s about all he has to brag about. You DO remember his tax cuts for wealthy whites don’t you?

            What is the reason that the Milky Messiah’s approval rating stays around 43%? Shouldn’t it be much higher with this “booming” economy?

          Sorry but according to CNN Trump almost started World War III. Trump almost catalyzed the entire destruction of the Kurds. Trump almost started war with North Korea. Trump almost started a full-blown war between the Palestinian-Arabs and the Israelis. Trump almost devastated the economy by slapping tariffs on Chinese goods. Both they and you just lie because you refuse to praise Trump as President. Your hate transcends truth and logic. All you guys have left is hate.

    OMG.

    Obama ordered 587 drone strikes during his tenure as president.

    However it is now a crime for Trump to order even one.

    In the meantime:

    President Trump is urging Iranian leaders not to kill protesters in the Middle Eastern nation. The president issued a stern warning to the Iranian regime on Sunday amid protesters’ calls for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei to step down.

    I thought all those people LOVED Salami and the Ayatollah and wanted to KILL AMERICA????

    Keep up the good work left. Filling voters heads with lies.

  3. Chumpchange says:

    As for New Zealand. It is a good country. Believe it or not I was actually in New Zealand and Australia on a cruise sponsored by a very wealthy family member. Im so poor I can’t pay attention. But my Sister is not. I had done a ton of work for her and well blah, blah, blah.

    Anyway this poor older man was able to visit New Zealand at the end of the world and they are a different breed of people. Friendly. Close knit and trusting. Their towns are well taken care of and they have no problems it seems on the surface. They are pacific people. Their culture is very different than our own.

    They are also sitting right on top of a bunch of active volcanos and now people have them convinced that volcanos are caused by Global warming.

    It is sad what billionaires have done to this world all in the name of getting richer. They heavy over reaction with severe gun laws when their country was shot up by that terrorist last year had to have been such a shock for them. It would be like Mormons finding out its not normal to have more than one wife.

    New Zealand needs a Greta of their own. You are all seeing what the left is doing right? They are attacking our children, brainwashing our children and then letting them grow up to be radical AGW crazies who then ascend to the thrones of power.

    As the Commies always said, give me your children and in 5 years I will make them a commie or something like that. They had a plan. BRAINWASH THEIR CHILDREN.

          Democrats stay silent on Iran protests, continue to attack President Trump

          Yes. It would be nirvana if the left suddenly picked up and moved to Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, China, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan and a whole host of other places that are WAY BETTER THAN THE USA.

          Even as the Iranians who hated Trump for killing the man they most hated in their country, the Left continues to make up lies about the whole episode.

          Trump really needs to pull us out of Syria and Iraq. NOW. He is going to run against Bernie and Warren in 2020. They are anti-war and so is 2/3rds of America. He got 22 percent of the Bernie Bro votes in 2016 because he promised to do that.

          Fuk the MIC and the establishment, we need to start bringing the boys and girls home.

    Growth was hampered by Jerome Powell. Duh

    Zippy had 8 years, Trump’s done better in just 2 1/2.

    Under Trump gain is > 10,000.

    There’s nothing special about the Mangoloid’s economy other than the needless explosion of the national debt. It’s built on low paying retail and service jobs, welfare for farmers ($25 billion!) and fewer high paying manufacturing job.

    Most manufacturing jobs aren’t high paying because most manufacturers are small biz. And farm policy has always been help out the farmers.

    Ever hear of parity? Now that the Reds are going hungry, that will be cut back.

    Now that tRump has succored his rich constituency with tax cuts he has to whittle the debt by cutting SS, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP.

    That’s where the rot is, so thank you, Captain Obvious.

    • david7134 says:

      Funny thing is that Trump has accomplished many of the dreams that the liberals desire, for instance, he is the only leader in recent memory to actually narrow the income gap.

      Are you ready to sacrifice some SS and Medicare coverage?

      “In order to afford tax cuts for the wealthy the working classes, the elderly, the poor and children need to tighten their belts as you’re bankrupting America!”

        Most of those tax cuts have gone to the blue collar and no collar classes, so I guess the SNAP crowd gets to tighten their belts, for a change.

        Not sure what the “rot” is. Tell that to the working classes. Didn’t tRump promise to NOT cut SS and Medicare?

        SNAP is how the slugs get along without a job.

            But since SS/Medicare together are by far the largest of our fed expenses, why don’t you support severe cuts in the programs to help reduce the debt?

    Well Elwood, like you I have no choice about the cuts in SS but I won’t be affected until next January 7th when I turn 70 and sign up. As far as my Medicare goes I have an Advantage plan so I have full coverage so far even under Trump and all those evil conservatives.

    “But since SS/Medicare together are by far the largest of our fed expenses, why don’t you support severe cuts in the programs to help reduce the debt?”

    I don’t support severe cuts in those programs because as I said I paid for them, I earned them, they are not gifts from someone else like Welfare-Medicaid-food stamps-pub.housing-foreign aide and the hundreds of other “free” programs constructed by leftists to buy votes. Sadly, the leftist Democrats who designed the plans didn’t care that SS was a Ponzi scheme or that Medicare would grow as fast as it did. Once again we got royally fuked by the leftists commie ideas and now we need to find a way to fix it. If you believe it’s such a problem why is it none, nada, zero, zilch Democrat candidate is for “fixing” the problem. Instead now they want to give these benefits to non-citizens. How fuking dumb is that? Why is it (as usual) you leftists create a fuked up problem then bitch to the rest of us we should fix it.

    “All Americans pay taxes, payroll taxes, income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes etc.”

    No, ALL Americans do not pay those taxes, only the WORKING Americans do. Non working layabouts don’t pay income tax nor payroll tax, they don’t own property so they don’t pay that and any sales tax they may pay is paid with money confiscated from the working man and redistributed ala commie style to them. You know, us working stiffs who try and support our families and build a future while your policies have us paying to take care of illegals and bums.

    Trump 2020 Keep America Great

    • formwiz says:

      Sadly, the leftist Democrats who designed the plans didn’t care that SS was a Ponzi scheme or that Medicare would grow as fast as it did.

      FWIW SS wasn’t initially designed that way. It was only intended for people who worked outside the home (men) and the retirement age was set at 65.

      Life expectancy for men in them thar days was about 60 (smoking, antibiotics weren’t used much), so it was a swindle. Most of the people who were in it would never see it.

      It was only after the war, when antibiotics came into general and widespread use, did life expectancy shoot up. The Demos realized they had a cash cow and expanded it as much as they could and also realized they had a club with which to beat the Rs when the subject of the debt came up.

      Also, it’s pretty well accepted that, in your first 2 years on full benefits, you are paid back everything you paid in (sorry).

      Still, if it was privatized, managed honestly, apply a means test, and put on a paying basis, you’d get about double (even if there was a lock box, it would only give you about 3.5% return, as opposed to working off the markets which average a 7% return).

      Almost all of this is based on the politics of the Depression, like everything else the Demos do, so the whole thing is antiquated.

      None of this is a shot at you, but, when you realize what a scam it’s always been, it’s even more annoying.

    You recall wrong, so it’s your claim not mine, you lying coward.
