Trump: "You guys know what this represents? It's the calm before the storm." - Why say that?

Have you answered any questions?<<<<Rhetorical BTW, everyone knows you did not.... You are the one who says the discussion is over, not me.

Or maybe you did a little research and found out how foolish and ill informed you and your leftist buddies are when talking about bankruptcies....

Which ever, go back to your safe space skippy....

He is planning to wag the dog.

His polling numbers are terrible, and he wants to become the heroic leader of a victorious powerful nation.

Many will die to salve his ego.

Good heavens, it's so simple in the Trump's case. There's no planning or strategy involved. It's the Trump show - always! If attention goes to another issue, it must be brought back to Trump - it's a classic narcissist's move!

Nah, it's amusing watching a jackass do what a jackass gotta do.

In this case it sounds like he plans on getting all torqued up and launching a massive Twitter assault on anyone who dares disagree with him.

I have a feeling you as well as most Trump supporters are willing to completely destroy the country if it means angering liberals.

On October 5th, Trump created confusion and concern when in a photo op with military leaders, he blurted out that it was the “calm before the storm.”

On October 4th, four U.S. soldiers were killed during an ill-fated military operation in Niger.

When Trump made his "calm before the storm" statement, he would have been briefed on the disastrous outcome, including that Sgt. Johnson had been left behind and was still missing.

Trump didn't tweet, didn't give the prepared statement, didn't say a word until pressured in a press conference on what had gone on in Niger.

At that point, Trump launched into falsely accusing Obama, then created this whole phone call brouhaha to divert attention.

When Congresswoman Wilson called attention to Sgt. Johnson, Trump sent Kelly out to lie.

Now we know exactly what Donald Trump was referring to when he said "calm before the storm" - Palmer Report


Myeshia Johnson draped over her husband's casket, while their little girl looked bewildered is an image I can't get out of my mind.

The angels weep with her.
