He needs to be recalled impeached. Whatever it takes. [/quote] So you agree with CNN... good job communist. Who do you want to replace him with? [/quote] I'd like to replace him with the Trump who promised to stop empire building. [/quote] To clarify, AC is in alignment with CNN and the criminal leftists who seek impeachment. Are you? Second, state specific example of [b]President Trump[/b] "empire building". Not Bolton, Our President. Remember posts just like yours about Tillerson? McMaster? Cohn? Ad infinitum...? [/quote] Ummm, okay. No problem. Trump has not stopped the mindless war in Afghanistan. Instead he sent MORE troops and is continuing Obama's policy of spending more money on our troops fighting over there. Trump has made so many belligerent remarks toward North Korea, some sort of limited nuclear conflict seems almost inevitable now, especially with war monger John Bolton at the helm now. Trump has not stopped our empire building in any meaningful way. Instead he seems content to allow the Bush/Obama foreign policy continue unfettered. Not what he campaigned on. [/quote] I wanted to take you seriously, but it feels like a grown mans pity party about something that can't even be specifically defined, let alone will matter in 24 hours from now. Just like you wanted to wake up and have people listen to you complain about something you can feign wisdom about. [/quote] Bolton has been loudly calling for regime change in Iran for approximately the last decade. This is serious, and Bolton is a serious danger to the USA. There needs to be 10 pinned threads on this, not just one. [/quote] Agreed! This is a huge shift for Trump and an utter betrayal of what he campaigned on! [/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?
