You think the guy with highest first term cabinet turnover rate,thousands of lawsuits,multiple criminal campaign staff members,thinks Kim Jong is his friend etc can read people
To the question about why: because in the Middle East it’s all about spreading your version of Islam. Saudi Arabia is the main cause of destabilization in the Middle East since the 1980s and their initiative to spread Wahhabism. But the truth is the dispute between the Saudis and Yemen goes back to the 1930s, when Saudi Arabia was formed they took land from Yemen for their kingdom. The Houthi are a Shia sect, which makes them a natural ally of Iran because in the ME it’s all about what branch of Islam you claim. But the Houthi are a sort of weird version of Shia but that’s a whole another discussion. The saudis sent settlers into Yemen to spread their Sunni Islam, which lead to a number of wars in the early 2000s between the Saudis and the Houthi in Yemen. The bad blood is deep. The Houthi got their Shiite together and took the Yemen Capitol in 2015 and it’s been total war since. Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, bombed schools and hospitals, hundreds of thousands of children that starved to death, etc. It’s the worst on the planet for four years running. No one is really sure about the relationship between Iran and the Houthi. They are not in operational alignment but Iran does give weapons and money support, most likely the drones used were Iranian. And here we are. Were the drones launched from Iran, I highly - Highly - doubt that. Were they smuggled into Saudi Arabia and launched closer than we think, that’s my suspicion. Either way the USA does not belong in this conflict at all. We have no part and any attempt to get us involved is folly.
Yes I do, as stated. Time for a breakdown: 1. Cabinet turnover rate: Trump demands high performance and most can’t deliver. The pool of talent Trump has to choose from is limited when compared to his goals. Many potential candidates seem used to working for people with low expectations or they are used to being in a position of low accountability. 2. Thousands of lawsuits: Anyone can be sued. In the US, a prominent billionaire politician is a prime target. Trump is also one who fights back. Hard. You sue his ass over garbage, he will sue you back. God help you if his PIs dig up dirt on you. 3. Multiple “Criminal” campaign staff members: Although I have not heard any of those people getting convicted of anything that was not politically motivated, politicians on both sides of the aisle run into corrupted employees. Especially when they have high staff turnover rates. 4. Trump maintaining friendly relations with Kim: This is appropriate. What is the alternative if you are trying to resolve differences? I wish Trump would try to get friendly to other world leaders such as those from such countries as Iran and Russia.
If he was a master at reading people he would know they are crooks or have no integrity .Those that can read people don't have high staff turnover rates.
I wonder what the consensus dem position will be on this? What if Trump asked for a use of force resolution? And I certainly hope he will take that step, whatever the outcome. Tulsi has cleverly outflanked her opponents. She has boldly claimed the anti-war label. Traditionally, that has been not only a winning issue in dem politics, but a paramount issue. She will no doubt be on Tucker tonight and probably a lot of other shows. Her opponents face the unappealing choice of siding with Trump or falling into line behind her.
Reminder: if you want to cripple Islamic terrorism and weaken Middle East influence in global affairs then getting off of oil should be a top priority.
Exactly. That's why all the dem candidates promising to ban oil drilling and/or fracking is so troubling. Why do they want us at the mercy of middle eastern thugs?
You don’t know how someone will perform in a new environment. Especially when the performance bar is raised well beyond what the perspective employee is used to. We know Trump reads others well by the nicknames he comes up with. Most of the nicknames are spot on as many will attest. We know Trump reads others well because get got elected by correctly reading the voters who would ultimately vote for him. I know Trump reads others well by his ability to predict the behavior in advance of others such as Jeb Bush in the debates, as I did. Trump does not accidentally own hundreds of businesses, multiple prestigious properties, and getting other things done in the world around him by not being able to read people and having other world class skills. Think of the demand on one’s time that running 1 business would entail. Now multiply that by a couple of hundred. Trump does not have time to handhold. He needs time efficient ways to make decisions and has evolved accordingly. By the way, owning hundreds of businesses does expose one to lawsuits, Doesn’t it?
