He’s waiting for Vlad to tell him what to do.
In other words, nothing
"When pressed to say what specific steps he plans to take, Trump said: “I don’t want to say what I’m going to be doing with respect to Syria.”
Because I am in over my head,and don’t know what to do.
“He’s there and I guess he’s running things.”
Who dares to claim that Chiselin’ Trump doesn’t attend his intelligence briefings now.
This is really happening, right? Well, maybe Trump is just a man of few words, but lots of (secret for now) action.
What should happen is Deferment Don should fly to Syria for a face to face with Assad.
Oh, I forgot when the going gets rough you screw a bunch of women and write about how brave you are.
You won’t catch Drumpf in any war zone as long as he’s in office…I would bet big money on that. Visiting the troops in a war zone…that’s Jared’s job now…or anyone else’s if need be…but it sure isn’t gonna be tough-guy, bully-boy Donnie Destructo…or is it Donnie De-Constructo?
Time for TPM to provide a primer on the Geneva Conventions and international and domestic law regarding assassination of world leaders…
“I haven’t spoken to Vlad, so I don’t really know what I’m supposed to do or say yet. After I talk to him, I’ll get back to you.”
Unless something unflattering showed up in the NYT, WaPo, WSJ or heaven forbid, Fox. Then he’d care. Long enough to fire off a few twitter insults, quell his revenge-jonesing, and then back to not caring.
“It shouldn’t have happened. And it shouldn’t be allowed to happen,”
This, from the guy who enabled Assad’s atrocity in the first place. What did he expect when he essentially said that we had no more interest in the Syrian civil war?
"RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!
Or F-Troop."
Exactly.
Name me a public figure who exceeds this lummox in sheer mouth-breathing stupidity. You can’t do it.
On the other hand Trump is delusional so any comment could mean a wide range of options that could include boots on the ground. Putin I think would say no, but Trump’s"I have to do something" is for his base.
Nailed it.
Presidentin’ is hard and requires some thought. It’s not nearly as much fun as bullshitting or golfing or stiffing a contractor.
Well, he sure will show those Chinese who’s boss.
As if they don’t already know …
I think in these moments he is his base. He’s saying “We have to do something!” because he saw troubling images on the teevee. He’ll never realize he’s the President, never think in those terms.
Here we go! Now we get to see if the Asshole-elect (a known draft dodger and coward) really does have a set of balls to match his little dick. My gusee is he’ll piss himself if he really has to decide this. Sad.
