" I was a supporter 20 seconds ago, but here is why I changed.. " If you voted for Trump, you knew he would be a bull in a china shop. Let alone, so Hillary wouldn't be elected. You'all keep ignoring this when it suits you, but it's still better than her. Do people really think if someone campaigns on "anti-war" it will happen? Is there only one variable to the equation, the presidents promise ? As we have found out, there are many layers to government and those who have the ability to affect change, without notice. Thinking the world is ending due to a string of appointments is extremely dramatic. Bolton is needed because he does not talk. No leaks, no dissent, no chaos. Mission accomplished. [/quote] ^^this. I’m tired of shit threads with shills or idiots spewing shit content. If people think they’re going to die in ww3 (lol) you’re contacting the wrong place. Ain’t shit glp’ers got to do with that. Contact your congressman-he’ll save ya [/quote] Is it your knee jerk reaction to call anyone you disagree with a shill? lol [/quote]
Original Message
I used to be a fairly ardent supporter of Trump. But now that he's appointed John Bolton as his national security advisor, I'm wondering what is going on.
Trump made it clear while campaigning that he opposed the 2003 Iraq invasion and that he wanted to stop the empire building of the USA. No more continuous invading of other countries in the name of an ill defined War on Terror.
John Bolton not only supported and still supports the 2003 Iraq invasion, but he is known to be one of the most ardent pro-war, pro-invasion, pro-empire building people in DC.
Why has Trump done an about face by appointing such a war monger when he campaigned on ending all these mindless wars????
I agree the bill he signed recently is pretty bad, but it seems everyone is so focused on that, they've missed this thing about the Bolton appointment. If John Bolton is able to shape foreign policy and persuade Trump on these issues, that seems to be a far more dangerous development.
Maybe I missed this topic being discussed here before, but I wanted to throw this out here.
Does anyone think Trump's appointment of Bolton is not only a betrayal of what Trump campaigned on but also a warning that WW3 got that much closer?
