Disgusted with Trump administration - Part I

Like others have mentioned, what is news is that Trump ran as the nationalist 'America First' candidate who criticized our involvement in ME wars and threw a fit over any suggestion he supported Iraq and has quite a tweet history of bashing involvement in Syria. It's interesting to see his support shift after this. Nationalist wing nuts like Alex Jones are now upset with him while the more neo-con voices are praising him.

    What I find most troubling is that Trump made this decision because of 'horrible images on TV'. I do not want that from my President. Sad shit is on TV all the time it CANNOT deter you from your strategy or core beliefs. And that to me is what doesn't get enough press here. I think this situation is bringing to light the total lack of care principles or strategies this administration has.
    Agreed and in other words pure incompetence from the entire administration. It's being run like one of Trump's many failed businesses.

    You apparently don't know how to interpret data if you think people voting for a third party candidate = complicit.

    Please stay on topic. Once again, this thread is not about me, this thread is about the worst administration in US history.

    This. He was adamant that Obama being involved in Syria was a stupid idea, so he immediately gets involved in Syria because...uh...he watched the news and pictures made him and/or Ivanka sad. Just another fun aspect of politics. Anything the other side does is wrong; anything your side does (even if its the same thing that was "wrong" when the other side did it) is right.

I think this situation is bringing to light the total lack of core principles or strategies this administration has. You want to run as a nationalist opposed to foreign involvement, fine. I may not agree but if that's your stance own it. Don't change 3 months in because pictures of gassed kids made you sad. Did all the dead kids trying to flee or caught up in bombings not make you sad before. Is gas extra sad? None of it makes sense.
    Yeah, all you have to do is turn on the national evening news on any night and you'll get 30 straight minutes of sad shit on TV. Making knee-jerk reactions to that stuff is just a weak way to score political points. But, hey! Potential international conflicts are cool because they distract people away from the shitty job our politicians on both sides of the aisle do! Because they're taking STRONG action!

    I know I sound like a broken record, but again...he's infallible. Trump faithful turn a blind eye on the daily.

    What about the vacationing? Golf? Insane expenses for travel/security? *crickets*

    Ladies and Gentleman, the mouthpiece of Donald Trump with another gem today:
    Syrian President Bashar Assad's chemical attack last week was particularly egregious because even Adolf Hitler didn't use chemical weapons in World War II, White House press secretary Sean Spicer inaccurately claimed on Tuesday.

    "You had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn't even sink to using chemical weapons," Spicer told reporters during the White House briefing in response to questions about the implications of Assad's chemical attacks.


    Hitler used a chemical called Zyklon B to murder prisoners in Nazi concentration camps in World War II.

    hahahaaa, so which is it; big government is here to save us; i.e. airline industry; or big government just fucked up again; i.e. Syria. Which big government are you in love with?

    You think this because she said she would after the fact?

    Well, with logic like that, you should push to make me president. I would have done so as well.

    Of course. What was I thinking?

    Exhibit A: The fucking corporate bailouts from Bush ... and then Obama. The same people crucifying Bush for them were creaming themselves over Obama's (and vice versa, of course).

    Hail Trump
    The Trump administration is solidifying its base by having the Press Spokesman deny the gassing of Jews. It will win back the alt. right and Richard Spencer supporters offended by the attack on Syria.

    Sean Spicer is clearly terrible at this job and it sounds like Trump genuinely thinks so too. does it say about Trump appointing him as an ode to Priebus' loyalty even though u know Trump never wanted the guy?

    He's gotten better....but I'm truly amazed at how Trump found some of these jackasses.

    I mean, ignoring everything else, if you just look at the aesthetics Spicer projects you would have run away. Not that Obama's guy's were better, but they WERE more polished and eloquent...and looked a little less like the Hitler youth.

    Hail Trump! tsk, tsk, tsk some people just don't want to admit the truth about the base of Trump support. And what did Spicer do, show support for the alt. right and Spencerites beliefs first, then back off afterward to appease the media. Saw the same thing when Spicer would not mentions Jews on Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is a dog whistle to the white nationalists.

    Hail Trump, tsk obvious effort to use bigoted vulgarity to reply to a fact. Spicer is just following a pattern set by Trump. Like when he refused to reject the support of David Duke, then several days later disavowed it. In all three cases you send out the dog whistle to your white nationalist supporters. Then later deny it to appease the press.

    Spicer has the hardest job on the planet. He has to go in front of the media every day and defend a complete moron who the public genuinely has to ask "What does it mean when he says words"?

    How long does Spicer last?
