Trump: Tone Down Iran War Talk

[my_2cents]

Apparently, Trump is telling those around him to tone down the tough talk on Iran and that his administration does not want to go to war with Iran.

This is good news if true. Now Trump needs to get rid of the neocons in his administration and stop taking advice from Senators like Tom Cotton.

I've been trying to tell you hand-wringing ninnies this all along.

The only ones that have been talking war are you idiots on the left.

How could this be the case if Trump is asking his own people to tone down the talk on Iran? Is Trump surrounded by leftists? Is Tom Cotton (who is advocating for military strikes on Iran) a leftist?

 

[Soonersincefitty]

As all we well grounded, salt of the earth types have come to believe...
Let Trump be Trump.
He's proven that, warts and all, he's carried out all of his campaign promises to the letter.
Only because of a virulent, hostile, resistant Dem minority, his agenda is stymied.
You libs suck.

 

[my_2cents]

his agenda is stymied.

And thank goodness it is on most issues.

On Iran though, it looks like he has a problem in his own administration (and party). He has let too many neocons into his administration and they clearly are pushing him on Iran.

Sorry, you can't blame liberals this time lol.

You're starting to harsh my mellow.

Come back, one year!

War hawks are looking for a fast trillion. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump should follow his instincts and leave it alone.

 

[OSU_Orlando]

Neocons/Rhinos/Warhawks suck and I’m glad that any talk of a war with Iran is being toned down.

Tom Cotton is a closet homosexual...not that there’s anything wrong with that. IJS.

You just feel shit and type it out, don't you? Like a little child, except a child that can type. Other than the media, members of Biff's admin in press conferences, Bolton, a republican congressman threatening war, posters on here, probably you, nobody on the right has.

LOL, Until Iran decided to attack our drones, I've heard nothing but Democrats screaming Trump is going to get us in a war.

Well, you also heard Bolton? Dems should ignore that?

 

[Ostatedchi]

Yes. Until Trump tweets it or we actually attack someone. Yes. You are being a hand-wringing ninny.

Have you ever run anything more substantial than a lemonade stand?
Anyone that has been successful managing people, business or government surrounds themselves with people unafraid to voice their opinion on matters. It's up to the leader to listen to the different opinions, weed out the BS and make the best decision. While you may not like Bolton's aggressive nature on foreign affairs, it is an opinion that should be part of any discussion on foreign affairs. Obama surrounded himself with yes people, anyone that dared disagree with his utopian view of the world was not part of the discussion.

Hey easy now, he apparently has ran some successful glory holes at various truck stops you bigot.

Fun!

Here goes the predictable..." I don't agree with him therefore he's a flaming fag!"

Come on, just a modicum of decorum.

It's a sad, hopeless world where mine is the voice of reason...

Fun!

So you proved that Tucker is not the putz that Sean is. Nice job. I’m sure FOX appreciates you tuning in.

Sean’s single redeeming quality is the level of legit insider guests he gets. And then he interrupts and talks over them.

Oh I don’t watch, there are people whose job that is. I retweet the fun stuff.

Problem is, no matter what he does, the national media and dems in Washington will crucify him.

I’m very happy with the economy.

I’m very happy with the economy.

I am too for the most part, although I recognize areas that need improvement. I also was happy about it two and a half years ago.

There are of course Americans who aren't happy about it for one reason or another. And they have a right to express their opinion and have their opinion represented as well.

 

[Pokeabear]

Ummmmmm

 

[Pokeabear]

Also Iran says they have recovered the Global Hawk in their territorial waters.

 

[Syskatine]

How Presidential.

Now he'll lash out because he's being portrayed as weak and really start a war. He's such a pussy, down to the marrow of his bones. He lied so others could die in his place.

Iran or U.S. is lying about that drone. Let's see if they produce it.

I hope to hell rush or hannity or oreilly is saying stand down because he'll really double down bow.

If course he got weak kneed, they're disorganized, amateur pussies.

I mean.... what a shameful i international disgrace for such hand wringing. If you do it, #*$&@ing do it.

Pulled the gun and couldn't shoot. I'm glad we're not at war but he is such a Willow in the Wind. Whoever gets to him last.

Probably Tucker Carlson.

I understand what you are getting at, but it is good that we didn't launch a military attack last night. Yes, Trump never should have approved it to begin with and backing out at the last minute does make him appear indecisive. But in the end, he did make the right decision, he just went about it the wrong way.

You think it was a neocon who leaked all this to the NY Times sy?
