Some of you Trump defenders need to explain how your head doesn’t explode when you read articles like this…

PARIS, June 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that it would be unfair for Iran not to have ballistic missiles if other countries have them.

"I'm saying that if other countries have them, it's a little bit unfair for them not to have some," Trump told reporters in Paris.

"If Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and they all have some, I would say in relative proportion, I think it's okay."

The real talk before was that the missiles were the reason for the war.

So does the real talk just go on in a circular pattern?

This is what it looks like when your enemies have no valid grievance to raise against you. This is what it looks like when your critics have to imagine failure so they can feign outrage, and feel vindicated. This is what winning looks like in today’s political environment.

What an idiotic thing to think let alone say.

Dude is losing his marbles. Perhaps it would be unfair for Iran to not have nukes when everyone else does. Let them enrich Don!

Bro went from I will annihilate your civilization, to you should have ballistic missiles in about 6 weeks.

Beyond that it’s ludicrous for us to tell a country what they can and can’t do in their spare time.

He said it and Macron reacted quickly. POTUS Trump knows the Europeans do not want the Iranians to have them. But we are not doing the bidding for the Europeans.

How long until he says the same thing about them having nukes?

They don't have any that can reach us. If the closer countries care, they could contribute to removing them. They are not nuclear anyway.

Note he said that to FRANCE, who would be in the range of them I presume.

Trump said that for the countries in Europe who are within range of Iranian missiles, but can't be bothered to help take them out.

Isn't it also unfair for criminals to not have a few guns... if the police and other people have them?

He is for limiting the range of the missiles they have

And he's right. They have a right to defend themselves. They're not just going to concede to having zero ability to retaliate and get picked off like sitting ducks. It's unreasonable to expect them to agree to something so asinine.

Trump is being a realist here.

You are either really fricking stupid or just a liar. President Trump is the most respected man on the planet. Either your TDS or your vagina is blocking your view.

I agree. I really think that Trump is talking to the other countries surrounding Iran. Now that Iran is basically defenseless. He doesn't want other countries taking advantage of it.
