I see him as someone who truly wants to make things better but is operating in the filthy political environment with enemies on all sides, especially the majority in Congress who don't give a S* about anyone anywhere. I think Trump is holding up pretty well.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-69688085217126249342017-04-09T11:32:57.168-04:002017-04-09T11:32:57.168-04:00While I understand your position, I do not think t...While I understand your position, I do not think that this was a clear and present danger to us. <br />NorKo is, and deserves an example. <br />This, unfortunately, looks like an offended king lashing out impulsively.<br />It may not be, but it has that optic.<br />It also looks like a new Sheriff is in town.

However, regarding your topic... You know I have been a harsh critic of President Trump and didn't vote for him (and I still have many issues with him) but he made me proud again with this quick and decisive - targeted and measured strike. When chemical or biological weapons are involved, there isn't time for a 3 week debate in congress with the code pinkers. I understand what you are saying regarding congress having the authority to declare war, but this is an emergency situation. Humanitarian wise and national security wise. Those things are very mobile, after all. If a ICBM is fueled and ready for launch from NK or Iran and intelligence tells us it's a nuke, should we discuss this in congress for a month or so, or do we take it out on the pad? I liked this call on many fronts. Trump inherited a dangerous world, thanks to obama's limp wrists. Time for the bad actors to to get back in line.DaBladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160781062081889980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-11764253633108095282017-04-09T07:52:13.591-04:002017-04-09T07:52:13.591-04:00Well put Ed.
