Maybe Trump can convince Mexico to build a wall around Kurdistan?

Frankly, the memory of the electorate is relatively short. Negative polling effects due shutdowns pretty much go away within 1 year.

Interesting way to interpret the midterm election results.

I doubt a dumber man has ever been in the White House. Not only will this not get him what he wants but it will alienate many. Government employees, contractors, pensioners on Social Security, farmers who want their farm subsidies, the poor whose food stamps will be shut off (attention: Kid), people with housing subsidies, people who were going to visit national parks, people who needed help from law enforcement, and numerous others. Watch his approval ratings continue to fail as he already said on camera he is to blame. A stupid, stupid man.

People you protect aren't your allies. Maybe if they paid us or something.

James Mattis disagrees.

Well trust me. A lot of people agree.

Maybe the French could take over Syria again?

What about Russia?

Kid, Did you support Obamas withdrawal from Iraq?

Nope. I was more interventionist then. I don't trust the government anymore. The government is the biggest enemy.

Yeah, when you quit/fired over it

James Mattis disagrees.

It is nice to see the echo chamber finally calling him out on his b.s. even in a small way.

Did anyone else notice the same day he announces he wants to cut and run in Kurdistan (abandoning our allies) Trump also took away sanctions on Putin's corrupt cronies who were directly involved in influencing the 2016 election to help Trump? That was exactly what Putin wanted, what the Trump campaign promised him in return for help, and now Trump has delivered on his treason.

People you protect aren't your allies. Maybe if they paid us or something.

How much did Mexico pledge?

Let the EU take care of the, but not the Germans because they're Nazis.
