3 Stooges

We all have a comfort level with Bolton, Pompeo and Trump managing the escalating Iran situation? Real management or bad actors? I think Trump has proved he is an actor, the belittling of his chief of staff having the nerve to cough during his interview shoot, proves the acting was more important than treating someone with respect.

Bolton we know has been chomping at the bit to stir up some action and Pompeo is a lap dog clearly as evidenced by his response to questions about Trump stating he’d be ok taking oped from a foreign power.

i thought trumps getting upset that someone was coughing, was very telling of what a jerk he is. it says absolutely nothing about his ability to deal with iran.

i don’t think obama would
ever yell at anyone for coughing. Does that mean his idea to send a jet full
if cash to iran in the middle of the night, was the best way to deal with the mullahs?

No comments on your comfort level with those three handling what could be a major hot spot blowing up? Just a problem that I find a Trumps treatment of people in general disgusting, it’s reality TV for him and I have no confidence a man with his thin skin, no reading skills and no interest if security briefings is going to handle this well.

I was thinking the same thing.

you’re right i didn’t respond.

Iran has always been complicated, my comfort level with trump to deal with it, isn’t a lot different than my comfort level with any other potus since i’ve been alive.

if all he was, is a reality show clown, how do you explain how
much better things are compared to the day he took office? his economic performance absolutely defies what obama
and paul krugman said was possible. he had taken the economy to places that no one else could accomplish. does that not suggest that despite his clownish attributes, that he can also solve some complex
problems?

i don’t like
Bolton, and i wish Mattis was still there.

This is my first post---EVER--- in the political forum.
You guys should all lighten up. You won't solve anything by criticizing each other's views and then resorting to name calling.

No boat, back in the suds.
