If we still have to pay $5.00 a gallon for a tank of gas 6 months from now, most Americans will care less what any politician or political party has to say about it. So, it's really a "We'll see".

Walking will do you good.
I actually walk between 5-6 miles a day (Have to get my 10,000 steps). So, I don't know what that is all about. I guess to gloss over the budget issues that most Americans are going to care about.

At least we have a true american success story. The reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial!

Some have called it "the art of the peel".

President Bush (43rd President) achieved his objective by removing Iraq from Kuwait.

President Bush (45th President) accomplished half of his goals by removing Saddam Hussein and his sons from power but failed to find any Weapons of Mass Destruction. The war put Iraq in chaos and fueled the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

To me it is not crystal clear why President Trump attacked Iran and if his objectives were fulfilled by the use of military force. This war or operation or special mission exposed that the United States has limited amounts of certain missile defense munitions which the rest of the world did not need to know about.

Now we're in the phase of arguing about how great or terrible it was based on what our political parties tell us to say.
You know it's bad when several high profile Republicans have stepped up and said this is an ill-advised deal. This one is easy to read and understand. If you need your parties interpretation, you are a sheep.

Or so you think. Maybe or maybe not. Part of the Art of the Deal is having the adversary thinking they've won.
The reflecting pool peeling and full of algae after two weeks has his adversaries thinking this was a bad deal. The guy is certainly a genius.

These are the same people who claimed Biden was coherent and running the country, when he wasn't napping, and that Harris was an even better choice for successor.
You're keeping with the company lines! Nice. Not sure the reflecting pool has anything to do with Biden and Harris but ok. Dozy Don.... pot calling the kettle black.

I think Trump loves to play toy soldier behind the lines. For the record, I am politically independent.

The 300 billion is not coming from the Chinese or the Russians . Promise you that!!

No, the only info I read on it was that it wasnt supposed to come from is either. But their "neighbors" in the region investing in their rebuild with loans.

I know I wouldnt loan that govt a penny and ever expect to see it again.

Look at all of the TDS in this thread.
Sad Donald Trump GIF
I don't particularly care for Trump's social media posts and style, but the guy knows what he's doing. He plays the haters like Charlie Daniels played the fiddle. Americans tend to think foreigners have the same values as americans and think like americans. they do not, particularly the middle east.

Not only do I not care for Trump's social media posts and style, but I also dislike what he's doing. That does not automatically make me a Biden/Harris fan.

The Iran war and the reflection pool are proof that he knows what he's doing. Two remarkable success storys paid for by American citizens. He's a genius for sure.
