Your insinuation clearly being that Trump left those people hanging, then they got slaughtered, I was referring to everything I quoted.


Quotes by President Trump in January

quote:

On Air Force One (Jan. 4): “If they start killing people like they have in the past, I think they’re going to get hit very hard by the United States.” ? •

To Hugh Hewitt (Jan. 8–9): “If they start killing people, which they tend to do during their riots… if they do it, we’re going to hit them very hard.” ? •

After a White House meeting (Jan. 9): “If they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved… We’ll be hitting them very hard where it hurts.” He added it would not mean “boots on the ground.” ? •

Same day: “You better not start shooting because we’ll start shooting too.” ?


His biggest foreign policy to date was not getting involved in January

Well, they did get “hit hard,” and there’s a large difference between “he said he would help them” and what you’ve attached there, which is referring to punitive action for their transgressions against the referenced protesters.

We are so glad to have you here to correct the record of anything ever said bad about Trump. Do you get paid at least for your total obedience and worship?

Months later. After all the protestors had been killed and the movement lost all momentum. We had a golden opportunity to change Iran forever and he flinched.

Why is gasoline so expensive? Diesel especially.


I read, or maybe heard on a podcast a week or two ago, that right now, the largest of the vessels that transport oil through the Strait are charging half a million bucks a day. It wasn't previously that high.

So I'm thinking a combination of market speculation, higher transport costs with the still large risks, are keeping oil prices elevated.

Hence, your gasoline costs are still elevated some.

Yeah people would rather lose the war because casualties might make the right lose the midterms.
