I wouldn't say that...

-Lebanon
-Grenada (one of the stupidest military aggressions in U.S. history)

Not to mention giving millions of taxpayer dollars to the Mujahideen, giving Saddam chemical weapons, Iran-Contra, etc.

Better than Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama, but still not good.

Savage was a big Trump supporter too, and this is one thing I love about him - he's a true independent and willing to take sides against Trump where necessary. As for Buchannan he has been a long time isolationist so his take on the situation was no surprise.

Let's hope that calm & reasoned conservatives can talk some sense into Trump before he unleashes a much worse and wider conflict than any sane individual would want. We really don't even know if the chemical attack was done by the Syrian govt. at this stage which is what started the tweet barrage.

Calm and reasoned conservatives like John Bolton? Better be getting the bunker ready.

With him we had a shot, with her it was certain destruction. oh well, Trump is a lost cause now (which sucks).
A peace candidate? Trump, I would bomb the chit outta them? Trump, what's the point in having nukes if we don't use them?




NO ONE in their right mind saw Trump as the 'peace candidate'.


Give us a break. Now - his closest advisor is the warhawk John Bolton.


Face it man - ya'll were conned.

I agree with you BeerGeek, and I am hoping for the same thing as you! I also like Savage and his views, although he can be a bit harsh sometimes, I like him.

Defend it. I dare you.

Michael Savage promoted a White supremacist. I hate that man.

If Trump were good at pulling out - Tiffany would not be with us.

It's hopeless. Left-Statists will defend Obama to the death, just like Right-Statists will defend Trump to the death.

Campaign-bluster my friends, they all do it.

Just be happy if Trump can slow down the coming disaster.
