So it's just something you made up based on some idea of what Trump is like as a "business man".
Got it.
I happen to believe that Trump is truthful, when he has said over and over again that he does not want war and want to bring soldiers back from war zones.
The question of course is how much clout he really has in this matter. In his first term, although he did not start any new wars, he was unable to stop the war in Afghanistan.

If Trump has his way the Ukraine war will end way
sooner than it would have been under Biden. Trump
also wants to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. that makes
Trump less of a warmonger than your typical POTUS.
That's a very strange metric.
But ok, at least is is a metric and not just "Trump is a businessman".

I mean, I find someone who has declared his willingness to commit ethnic cleansing, launch a forever war in the middle east by taking over Gaza, and threatened to use military force against multiple countries already not really "much less of a warmonger".

To say nothing of his record of escalation and war in his first term.

But cool.
"He wants out of NATO, therefore less of a warmonger" it is for you.

But how do you square that away with his declared threats of military force so far this term, and his escalation of bombing and troops in multiple combat zones in his first term?

Trump can proclaim himself a disciple of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther KIng
and still commit ethnic cleansing to appease Netanyahu.

Just more proof that Trump is the most unqualified president in modern history. He is a geopolitical moron. He does not understand that to remain a superpower that the US must engage in wars the United states would not be a superpower without war. He also does not understand that the United states would not be the most prosperous nation in the world without trade. It's a good thing he doesn't have much power or America would be completely fucked

Not born any fruit?
Like Mexico and Canada investing heavily in fixing their border security?
The only new thing Trump got was an extra $200M and a fancy title for some appointee. That's winning? In fact, Trump realized how badly he was played and is now putting tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. You righties are pathetic, sniffing Trump's farts and saying they smell like roses...

Trump will say whatever shit comes in and out of his head on any given day. He doesn't care, as long as he gets attention.

And when he's got enough attention, he goes ride around in his golf cart for a few hours.

And the next day, he'll say totally different shit to get attention. He dgaf about what he says.

Sounds like you're still recovering from Musk's findings about USAID.
Personally, I would call that winning wouldn't you?

It's the tip of the iceberg. What other horrors will be uncovered should be your primary concern.

Iran has made too many empty threats to be taken seriously. Israel kills like 10 Iranians a week and they do nothing.

Silly argument. They can make 99 empty threats but the one they keep could be the big one.

No country should take any threats against them lightly. They are all serious.

When you make empty threats people assume you cannot carry them out. While I know this is not true with Iran the lunatics in Israel are lunatics.

I just pointed out why it is a really bad, if not outright dumb assumption, and only a country with a death wish would let their guard down for any threat at all.

Israel has had nukes for over 50 years and have not done anything that displays lunacy. Israel is very measured and calculating. The world knows that the lunatics are in Iran. They'll probably cut off the hand of that woman who shook hands with a man. Do you consider that to be sane? Do you support throwing gays off of rooves?

You think it is sane to eliminate 70,000 people in order to take their land.

I think this is how he decided to tariff aluminium.
He just said steel and then a reported asked him, what about aluminium.
So he must have been like "Yeah, sure why not?!" and then said, "Yup! Aluminium as well!" lmfao.

A compelling reason to give weapons to Israel. Israel is a
defender of the lifestyle of gay men in the west from the
evil influence of homphobic Arabs and Iranians.
