most think Trump should show military force while South Korea is trying for peace talks with North Korea.


If only his unhinged tweet reflected the quote in your post.

It was practically the same tweet his first term.

quote:

During his first term, Donald Trump cancelled or scaled back several major joint military exercises with South Korea. He made this move to save money and to reduce tensions with North Korea following his 2018 summit with Kim Jong Un.


It was working out well until 80 million Biden voters

quote:

On June 30, 2019, Moon Jae-In met with both Kim and U.S. president Donald Trump at the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). During his presidency, Moon favored the Sunshine Policy, a peaceful approach to Korean reunification.




quote:

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in cross the military demarcation line to the south side after Moon briefly stepped over the border into North Korean territory at the Inter-Korean Summit at the Panmunjom truce village

What does that have to do with being our ally? We can’t do business with others? Who are they going to sell to if not one of the largest markets in the world?

Outside of nuclear which is a major concern, why is anyone truly scared of North Korea? There’s almost 0% chance their military would effective against a modernized military due to the training and technology.

Trumps a whiny old man, but generally speaking when he gets upset it’s because he has tried to politic and the other side just stays firm. Instead of cowering to their demands like most, he goes hard into whatever he wants to do.

Great question that you should have also been asking 3 years ago or more.

And so I can defeat the dumbass “what about” arguments that always get thrown around here, yes Kamala and Joe were retarded too. Surprisingly, two things can be true.


So, for the past 3 presidential election cycles, each party has nominated a retarded person.

When everyone gets to vote, you get candidates who reflect the average person. The average American is an idiot. Ergo...

Bad Trump strikes again. Unfortunately, in order to get Good Trump, you have to take Bad Trump sometimes.

He can’t help himself. It’s pathetic to watch him consistently say the wrong thing.

Waiting for his next post saying that Taiwan actually belongs to China because Taiwan did not help us against Iran.

Vance is better than this. Trump is melting down daily. We aren’t going to have any allies left.

Trump is a terrible leader with awful judgement. He’s toxic for the entire world. We won’t have a true ally left.

So we spend a bunch of money on South Korea, and and they refuse to help us when we need it.

Seems like we should stop spending money on them then.

Seems logical.

didn’t vote for a nonsensical war that few people support.

I didn’t vote to potentially use nuclear weapons on a country that poses little threat to us or anyone else for that matter.

I didn’t vote for a president to sell his inside thoughts to the highest bidder.

I didn’t vote for rampant insider trading.

I didn’t vote for the government to buy stakes into private companies essentially picking winners and losers.

Shall I continue?


The truly sad part is you could keep going and going and going!
