I missed this.


I was referring to his "I was given a bad hand" line. Love the speech as a whole, just didn't like that line too much.

We are no longer nation building. We will be killing terrorists.

Oh shite! He's actually calling out Pakistan! Hope we back it up with serious suspension of military aid.

17 years of intervention in Afghanistan and our efforts are at risk of being undone by the growth of terrorist groups. If 17 years of time, money and lives can't eliminate the threat..it's never going to happen.

We're killing the terrorists dumbass. But he's not gonna let the terrorists know when we're coming to kill them. Get it? I know you're used to Obamas way of dropping flyers off ahead of time letting them know our plans, but Trump isn't Obama. He's not sympathetic to terrorists.

Billions and billions and billions to Pakistan, while they house the people we're fighting.

Bold statement.

Not announcing plans = secret playbook. Don't think you will understand.

I don't think we've heard a speech this powerful since Winston Churchill addressed the British people.
