His budget, which still doesn’t exist, was simply pushed out to knock Bill Owens and discussion of Trump’s hurried Yemen raid off the cable shows and headlines.

We don’t fight to win. We don’t fight to win. So we either have to win or don’t fight it at all,ā€ he said.

The stupidity of this comment. Also, how belittling it is to every American service-member who died in the middle east. Also, as if he would fucking know! I have so many problems with this statement. Fuck him. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, fuck him.

ā€œWe’re going to do more with less and make the government lean and accountable to the people."

… except for the Defense Department. There he’s advocating doing less with more with, and making them unaccountable to the people.

This is the yin-yang of Trump’s Taoism: For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. Perhaps, this explains Combover Buddha’s absurd-seeming inconsistencies.

ā€œWe don’t fight to win. We don’t fight to win. So we either have to win or don’t fight it at all,ā€ he said. ā€œBut where we are, 17 years, almost 17 years of fighting in the Middle East, we’re up – I saw a chart the other day as of about a month ago, $6 trillion we’ve spent in the Middle East, $6 trillion. And I want to tell you that’s just unacceptable.ā€


ā€œFolks, we don’t win anymore. Right? We don’t win anymore. We don’t win! We don’t win on anything. We don’t win on trade. We don’t win with the military. We’re gonna knock the hell out of ISIS. By the way, we have no choice. We have no choice,ā€ Trump yelled.

A Reuters video from 4/2015, a WaPo video from 11/2016 and…

Donald Trump is right: we don’t win anymore. Our future silicon overlords have made us into perpetual losers, and it’s only going to get worse if we don’t do something about it. What is Trump going to do to make homo sapiens winners again?

Kevin Drum was being sarcastic

Some of that man’s supporters are already expressing confusion. ā€œWe didn’t think he really meant it about all the cuts and trade wars.ā€

Trump: ā€The Middle East is far worse than it was 16, 17 years ago…we’re going to straighten it out.ā€

Then he announced he’s sending Vice-President Pence to straighten things out, beginning with Nicaragua.
