I think Trump plans to spend more trillions in the Middle East and far less on infrastructure.

Yeah I thought so.
Dear Kitty:

Can you please give us the American casualty figures for the "wars of choice" in Libya, Syria and Yemen?

Thank you.

Apparently he's having a hard time accepting Bush's hand in the matter.

So based on that, this time, I'll indulge:

I asked you this in the pages prior (you didn't answer), if Obama took ownership of the wars once he got into office, that means once he left he was no longer to blame then. Right? I mean, technically they're Trump's wars now, no? If we're still there in 2-3 years you'll say they're Trump's wars? I'm only exercising your logic.

Dems don't want to fix the infrastructure. The whole liberal northeast is a bucket of rust.

Whether the Democrats are actually interesting in rebuilding the USA is quite another matter indeed.
He once said it was six trillion.

He just picks a number and goes with it.

It seems it works for him to do that -- you believe him.

Why did the Democrats support these War Mongers?
To be fair, majority of democrats in legislature opposed these wars and majority of Republicans supported them.
Obama was opposed to Iraq war from very beginning.
Hillary on the other hand is a Clintonite, so I'm not surprised by her vote.

Obama started the current war in Iraq. He said Iraq was a stable, self-reliant nation when he pulled out. Then he went back in. 8 years of war in Afghanistan. What a mess he left.

So Trump's point proved by your own standard.
Nobody cares about Hillary anymore, at least not among actual voters.

The reality is both parties wasted a fortune there, but who is Trump to talk? He's wasted a fortune in all the businesses he's ruined and is going to run up the debt in his pay-day loan scam tax plan. And you can't tell me with a straight face he wouldn't have bombed the Mid East into ruin had he been in the same position as Bush or Obama.

Just more mouthing off from the King in Orange.
