Trump had another opportunity to “ Be Best”. He chose something else.

Trump was a coward who thought he was above going to war.
Doesn't matter - he skipped out of an unjust war, and that makes him a hero.

You do realize it is the POLITICIANS of both parties that make policy and send these soldiers wherever, right? If Bush and the Democrats didn't respond to ALL the intelligence that said Iraq had WMD's and then we were attacked again like 9/11 you would have screamed that they failed, and didn't do their job. But in hindsight, you have the luxury of just calling them "paid killers". You sir are a HYPOCRITE.

Turning a Prayer Breakfast into a Gloat and Hatred rally

He demeans people religious beliefs.

He demeans people that pray.
Yeah, all of that but The Impeached used this once sacred event as just another pep rally. What a turd.

So, a few people got killed in 9/11 - big deal...... what's the latest death toll of innocents from drone attacks?

Go to another country and kill someone that isn't threatening you - makes you a paid killer.

How many attacks have been avoided due to the military as a DETERRENT, and also the response to 9/11 to terrorists that would otherwise plot and carry out an attack? So a 3,000 to you is a "few people", but what about the potential tens of thousands or more that may have been avoided or stopped? Your view is very short sighted. Think through the entire process and potential outcomes.

If we have learn one thing this past four years, it is that the Left (Democrats) are the biggest crybabies there are. They bash Trump and Republicans oh so casually but then get all outraged when Trump fires back.

Sorry Leftists, if you can dish it out, then you should be able to take it.
At prayer breakfast? You really think all of his rants are appropriate there? He should have given thanks for all of the weak kneed Republicans who jump when he says so even if they know he’s wrong.

Forced? I don’t think so.

Voters will have the final say in November. Based on right now, he will likely win a second term, as do most incumbents. It’s a huge uphill slog when the economy continues to roll along.

There is no viable Independent disrupter, like Ross Perot. Most don’t care about the debt.

Will Democrats nominate someone who can energize voters, especially younger voters, to get off the couch and vote? I don’t know.

Anything can happen in 9 months.

You mean the terrorists that America trained, equipped and motivated?

I don't think I'm the short sighted one.

As for Putin, that’s just Leftist lies. He is neither a friend or a foe to Russia and Putin. What he is is being open with Russia instead of treating it with animosity. The ironic thing is that if he did do that, the same Leftists bashing him for being a puppet would then say he is antagonizing Russia and getting us in a conflict with them. With the Leftists, they are going to bash Trump regardless.
There is not evidence we are safer today with North Korea.

Kim has no sense of loyalty to Trump or the USA.

Kim will kill his family if he can -- lol.......

You buy into the snake and oil show Trump put on with North Korea.

In the past American Presidents have avoided this kind of circus like treatment of negotiations with Kim because the thing that is important -- is not the show -- it's the facts. AND previous admins. weren't willing to give Kim the satisfaction of the photo op and 'perception' of grand gestures without any progress of substance with denuclearization. If all you wanted was a show --- you should have been demanding that previous Presidents go and take some pictures with Kim.

We are just as much at risk with NK today than we were before Trump.
