The gold trim on the coasts of the strait will be glorious.

I think people have always noticed, its just what was "haha, he's funny and just saying shite to rile people up" has turned into shite policy declarations and lie after lie, each of which more unhinged. I can't stand watching him speak more than 5 min these days. The babbling and Trump-speak is just old and tired at this point. He should shut the frick up, go behind closed doors, and focus solely on American interests and not his own ego and legacy.

He nailed it.

So what you’re telling me is that people who hate Trump say bad things about him? How enlightening.

not as weak as anonymous posters who leap like Pavlov's dog responding to a bell to snark at him.

This is Trump negotiation 101. Overstate what you want then you’ll be able to concede down to what you actually want. That way the counter party gets a perceived concession/win.
It’s dumbshit negotiation 101
You think his opponents aren’t aware of this ham handed strategery?

Close all overseas bases and immediately return active-duty personnel to domestic bases. The cost savings of doing so will be used as a one-time contribution to discharge the interest on currently outstanding Federally guaranteed student loans.
That would not save much money at all. US bases - in and of themselves - are not expensive. Gas, Electric, usually we get the territory rent and tax free, I presume insurance.
The expensive stuff are the people there, troops, support, cooks, local military radio station, etc. And the equipment.
To really save money you would have to do a three step process.
1. Close the base
2. Fire the troops
3. Sell or leave behind the equipment.
If you just do number one but the rest is all shipped back the USA (which would cost a ton of money to do, imagine sending hundreds of tanks across the ocean) and if we don't fire soldiers, we really won't save any money at all.
Instead of the Army spending money in Germany they will be spending it in Arkansas or someplace.
Now you can say "Good, spend it here" and that's an argument, but drop saying that we (or more precisely the feds, the militart) would be "saving" anything much. Heck since things are more expensive here than in many European countries we might actually spend MORE if we move sh*t back to here.

frick me why can't we just bring all troops back home, close down our overseas bases and outposts, and stop being the emperor of the world, and then focus entirely on building up and fortifying our own country?
Because if you stopped living in utopia land you would realize the world is the way it is (not some utopia) and just like in, say, even someplace like Kindergarten, someone always will be emporer.
Right now we are it. It's expensive but cool to travel around the world and see the respect people have for the US Passport.
If we decide to step back to spend more here (and who says it will be on someone good? If the Dems take over they could spend it all on more illegal immigrants and on reparations), if we step back the vacuum will be filled, probably by the Russians, Chinese or some combination of BRAC countries like Brazil or something. North Korea and Iran will play a role too.
100 years from now our grandkids will be going to school and learning about how we were basically the "leaders of the free world" and they gave it up to spend money on football stadiums and reparations and the kids will say WTF were you people thinking back then?

Total Clown World 
He’s totally out of options when doing something so stupid.
We never should have got involved in Iran.

Until he says “well we realized this is Iran here and they’re fricking around. So we’re now going to strike mercilessly until there’s no more leadership in place”, everything else is just grandstanding.

That you fluffers think that’s some sort of gotcha is funny.

Does this were permanently going to have to starting a ton of military in the region to enforce it?
