I also at first hated his dealings with the Saudi's but have since realized that it is genius. Sell them the weapons and let them fight the fight while we begin to pull out of the region once we are through with ISIS. Let them fight their own wars but still be allies.

Except it has been happening for decades and KSA just continues to feed the fire. It's also a dumb strategy for a guy working on a 4 year cycle. Who knows what policy will be in place when he is gone? But I promise you those weapons won't just disappear when he leaves.

We have leverage over the Saudi's as they are desperate to keep power. They do not have the reserves they claim and they are running out of oil. If Trump is smart he used the leverage we have along with the intel to tell them to get in line/stay in line or be removed from the line.. All the financing of cells to do their work along with loose cannons within their hierarchy has to be snuffed out and dealt with or things could change.
Why else would they roll out the red carpet? Desperation, survival, human instinct.

If we are still there and it looks like we aren't getting out--removing most of our troops from the ME soils-- then I will be disappointed for sure.

If he has a successful presidency we could have another Trump like candidate succeed him espousing the same policies that will continue the transition back to solvency and productivity at home instead of nation building and exerting so many resources and manpower overseas.

I am inferring to a man who our intelligence community and politicians wish dead. He made clear that the NSA has the capabilities to suck up, vacuum, whatever term you wish to use, all data that is sent and received on a server showing who received it and who sent it--essentially the source from both ends of the hack (victim/perpetrator).

I have zero reason not to not take him at his word seeing that he is public enemy #1 still or close to it.

He even says he used the Signal Intercepts against the Chicoms.

And others have backed his word.

William Binney, echoed Snowden’s assessment earlier this month: The bottom line is that the NSA would know where and how any “hacked” emails from the DNC, HRC or any other servers were routed through the network. This process can sometimes require a closer look into the routing to sort out intermediate clients, but in the end sender and recipient can be traced across the network.

The person who received and posted said emails even said it was a DNC insider and not Russians. I am more inclined to believe him than anyone else.

And everyone knows how you are "inclined."
