He sure didn’t do a very good job securing our borders or handle the “J.V. team” .
Trump is calling for an increase in defense spending by $54 billion and said he will bomb the shit out of ISIS. It’s like he’s been asleep for the last 15 years and woke up thinking bombing a group from 30,000’ while they hide in cities is actually going to work and make the Muslim world love America.
The mindset baffles me to no end. The current defense budget is about $600 Billion and in Trump’s own words, everything is a disaster. So what would be the smart thing to do? Maybe, look at ways to provide security without all the big ticket items like fighter jets or having military bases in 150 countries etc? Maybe getting out of countries where you do more harm than good? Maybe stop trying to force the Muslim world to love you while pointing a gun at them?
No. Trump’s solution is to bomb the shit out of ISIS and win. Trump is in way over his head and he doesn’t seem the least bit interested in learning about past mistakes. It would be a compliment to Trump to say he is on the J.V team.
The question is what Plan To Defeat ISIS ™ will the generals come up with? Were they told “come up with a plan that involves bombing the shit out of ISIS”? What was their deadline for presenting this plan?
The only plan I can imagine that won’t leave us in a less-secure position would probably take 40-50 years to complete, has nothing to do with bombing, and is more dependent on changing our own culture than theirs.
Before his 30 day General’s plan Trump had his secret fool proof plan for ISIS.
“I do know what to do, and I would know how to bring ISIS to the table or, beyond that, defeat ISIS very quickly,†Trump said on Fox News Channel’s** “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.â€** “And I’m not gonna tell you what it is tonight.â€
Host Greta Van Susteren immediately asked, “Why won’t you tell? We need all the help we can get.â€
“I don’t want the enemy to know what I’m doing,†Trump replied. “Unfortunately, I’ll probably have to tell at some point, but there is a method of defeating them quickly and effectively and having total victory.â€
The best word in this quote is “Unfortunately”
