Simultaneously       blasting policies in the middle east by the current and previous       administration while threatening to do the same (boots on the ground,       taking their oil, air raids killing terrorists' families) himself.              You see, he has no real plan... he flies by the seat of his pants with       increasing bluster because he knows the most unintelligent *fools* in       the US will fall for it ever time...              > If Trump were a "loose cannon", he would have blurted out his plan and       > his adversaries would have used the information to defeat him. I       > haven't seen that happen yet, how about you?              What plan? He doesn't have one. In fact, he failed to identify       important figures in the conflicts, later responding with the       unconvincing:               "By the time we get to office, they’ll all be changed. They’ll be all        gone. I knew you were going to ask me things like this," Trump        said. "But as far as the individual players, of course I don’t know        them. I've never met them. I haven’t been, you know, in a position to        meet them. If, if they're still there, which is unlikely in many        cases, but if they’re still there, I will know them better than I know        you."               "The names you just mentioned, they probably won’t even be there in        six months or a year," Trump added. "And you know what? In that case,        first day in office, or before then, right at the day after the        election, I’ll know more about it than you will ever know. That I can        tell you."              Trump is a loose cannon, a fool, and full of hot air. The change we       need (and that you expect) will not be coming with Trump at the reigns.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
