Good for you.  The guy you are voting for didn't agree with you.

 

I guarantee if Donald Trump had been in Congress in 2002 he would've voted to invade Iraq, contrary to whatever Donald Trump may tell you.

President Trump has been consistent with his campaign once in office, not starting foreign engagements and looking for ways to exit the current ones.  That's quite rare for a POTUS.  Since the 20th Century Presidential candidates usually campaign on not sending American boys to do a job that foreign boys should do for themselves. Then once in office they discover that the world is forcing America to join a war. 

 

Listen, I'm grateful we haven't become entangled in a foreign war under Trump (yet) but the President has been far from consistent in his saber-rattling towards China, North Korea, Iran and those who harbor ISIS and their terrorist competition. I'm glad killing General Solemani and destroying that airbase didn't escalate into a full scale war. It was a dangerous but measured retaliation, and it hardly makes Trump different than his predecessors. 

 

And with that commitment to avoiding foreign entanglements, you'd think the military budget could be pared down to something more efficient, but of course Trump went the opposite way, throwing additional billions of taxpayer dollars at a symbolic and ham-handed show of power. 

 

Interesting, too, that a majority of active service personnel support Biden over Trump.  Upside down world, eh?

I guarantee if Biden had ever tried to run a business it would be bankrupt.

Now wait a tick, no need to go into a hypothetical here. Didn't Donald J. Trump run some businesses and have them go bankrupt? 

 

1. Trump Airline: Bankrupted after two years of opperation.

2. Trump Casinos: Taj Mahal, Trump Marina, Trump Plaza all bankrupted to the tune of Billions

3. Trump Magazine: Had a 2 year run.

4. Trump Steaks: Less than 2 months after partnering with Sharper Image, small sales caused their demise.

5. Trump Vodka: Two years into production, branding abandoned and 3 years later production ceased. (Here, buy this stuff I've never tried).

6. Trump Mortgage: Started in 2006. Shuddered in 2007. Blamed executive team he hired (The Best People) even though some should have never held the positions they did to begin with. 

 

I know there are more examples, but I think you get the point. He's good at branding. Not so good on the other aspects of business.

Explain the point, then.

Trump calling for an "Army of Trump" to show up, be "Pollwatchers" on Election Day, and "Fight for President Trump". s#!t's pathetic and will probable incite more violence. Dude's openly called for voter fraud and voter intimidation from his base over the last month.

Yeah but if Biden had run those businesses, they would have been even bankrupter in a more liberal bankrupty kind of way, amiright?

Give me the one suited to be a public servant 10 times out of 10.

 

Hopefully this entire trainwreck of an administration quiets down the "I want someone who runs the government like a business" crowd. They're fundamentally completely different.

This has a very Chris Farley from Billy Madison vibe.
