The Art of the Retreat… did Trump just blink on Iran because his base can’t afford to fill up their trucks?”

[Seymour Flops]

These people have turned into unfunny self-parodies.

yesterday they were claiming it would be another endless middle-eastern war. Now that it is about to end, they say Trump is chickening out.

When Trump is gone, they will struggle to find new material.

This is the same guy who stood at his State of the Union just two weeks ago bragging about $1.99 gas as proof of his economic genius. Now Susie Wiles is apparently running around White House meetings warning that pump prices are going to be “catastrophic” for Republicans in the midterms. Trump is calling a 50-cent-per-gallon increase in a single week a “little glitch.”
The man launched a war that’s choking 20% of the world’s oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz and somehow seems surprised that gas got expensive. Oil is really high. The people who were promised $2 gas are now paying $3.47.
So was the four-to-five week timeline always the plan, or did gas inflation just become the exit ramp? The hawks wanted this war. The base wanted cheap gas. Turns out you can’t always have both.

Then again, the US has literally billions of barrels in reserve. The country with the biggest reserves is Venezuela. Buy it from them.

Well, he is the clown that keeps on giving.

This thread must do a wonderful service for you libtards to get together and laugh at each other, as you try to out-stupid the other braindead sycophants of Marxism when Trump outwits you again and again!

You bitched about the attack on Iran last year, you bitched about it now, and since he beat you again, you need a session to lie, pat each other on the back and prepare for your next epic failure! Enjoy your TDS delusions!

I hear Iran is going to hold an air and naval show to celebrate their victory ! oh wait ! they no longer have an Air force or a navy ..

You will cheer both his backing off and his backtracking in the backing off. Because it’s a cult. And you’re a member.

I sure as hell hope so.

 

[yidnar]

I have already posted several times that I approve of this reversal.

what reversal ? Troops on the ground was never in the planning .. the operation was only supposed to last a few weeks ..

 

[yidnar]

I sure as hell hope so.

they are .

 

[Crepitus]

You would think after more than a decade on the scene and being your President now for 5 years that even somebody with a fake "Conservative" lie in his screen name would be able to figure out that everything is a negotiable point to Mr. Trump. You see it as a sign of weakness because you're not terribly bright.
But most of us see it as keeping the enemy off balance as well as keeping his own options open.
In the past, so many politicians have been criticized for being incalitrant, never altering the game plan even when it's failing. (Iraq and Vietnam, anyone?)
Trump is brighter than that.
And brighter than you.
So don't you ever forget that.

No, Son. We see it as a sign of weakness because he's not terribly bright.

Leftwingers jump on every negative trend, then get egg on their face when it changes.

Never mind. Trump went TACO after going TACO.

It's a combination of things. Tariffs and redistricting aren't working either and Noem/Bovino blew the Mexihate.

With the TACO agenda as part of the Progressive repertoire of name calling, you may consider that Trump may not get the whole pie but a couple of slices or more. And that is still winning. Progressives force their crazy agendas through. A lot of times with the help of some Republicans.

It was. The attack on iran isn’t about our economy .

Silly Bozo @sealmight be happy. Detroit Mercy is up 9 points with 10 min to go vs. Robert Morris. Shocking! I only had a bet in the first half. DET has a midget point guard?
