Trump MAGAThread IV: Twixt Scylla & Some Bad Hombres

[Thermodolia]

From the CBS Pittsburgh report: "Additionally, at the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump said religious freedom is a 'scared right,'"

Typo for sacred, yes. And also the most remarkable of Freudian slips.

This is my nightmare come to life

[Thermodolia]

Nothing like another years long Police Action that produces vets fucked up by physical and psychological trauma. How did the last one go? Oh right...

>Implying Mexicans would mind being occupied by the U.S when the majority is actually trying to smuggle themselves past the border.

I mean, if anything, they would probably be happy about it. They get everything they wanted and in top of that they don't even need to move anymore. :^)

The majority of Mexico isn't coming across the border

[Mefpan]

Trump had a disastrous conversation with the prime minister of Australia. If he can't even talk with our closest allies without losing his mind, what's going to happen?

So, this is a news outlet saying Trump got into an argument with the leader of an allied nation according to other, unnamed news outlets regarding a demand to honor an alleged deal that'd violate what he ran for office with?

This is my nightmare come to life

Still not awake from the horrible dream yet.

On the plus side, this is easily the deepest sleep I've ever gotten.

You and your alternative facts...

[Thermodolia]

Yes, but I'm not insane. I wouldn't be invading an ally at all and I never would have authorized the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

>Spread freedom everywhere

I somehow doubt your statement on Iraq 2003.

Realpolitik. While I'd love to spread freedom and those dictatorships are bad we need to keep them in power because the opposite is much worse.

If you are not being sarcastic then it seems you have no idea what they say in the Mexican National Anthem.

Deep enough Cthulhu hit the snooze button because he saw Trump is doing all the hard parts.

I think you will like the current administration then. The Dread Lord Kissinger is back.

Something like that.

Only this is even harder to understand.

So, this is a news outlet saying Trump got into an argument with the leader of an allied nation according to other, unnamed news outlets regarding a demand to honor an alleged deal that'd violate what he ran for office with?

By that logic, why have treaties at all? In fact, let's let the US breakup into 50 states. It was a deal before Trump's presidency.

Why bother? Its not like our allies follow them anyway. Same thing with the whole trade deals situation.

[Flarbinia]

He threatened to send troops into Mexico to "fight narco-traffickers". That's it. Trump is an idiot in world politics. It's one idiotic thing to ban people from countries in civil war or that we have military intervention in, but to threaten to invade a regional ally and neighbor?

The message of the alleged threat was very clear: if Mexico can't clean up its mess and get its shit together, then America is going to have to fix the problem.

You don't cut the call off early just because someone disagrees with you.

Kissinger never would have invaded Mexico though

And I hope Mexico puts up one hell of a fight then.

Please, he was prepared to have us send troops in Saudi Arabia for oil. There is literally nothing off limits for him. See: School of the Americas

What a foolish and empty threat to make.

While a rather legitimate threat, I don't think Trump knows what he'd get into if he does send U.S troops into Mexico.

Unfortunate. But it will be blood on Trump's hands.

Was it? Genuinely intrigued - was that a treaty, a contract or something that was signed, as opposed to a vocal promise by the Obama administration?

If it's clear that there will be no progress on that topic and one of the parties refuses to change the topic so that one can make more headway elsewhere, then I don't see much of a reason to waste more time.
