Trump Called His Generals a ‘Bunch of Dopes and Babies’ in a Fit of Rage, Book Claims

Thank god he is President. He is exactly right about everything below. Thing these talking points should endear him to the left. Bam he nailed it

 

The account states Trump repeatedly interrupted the lesson after apparently being triggered by a word or phrase uttered by the military leaders. One example given is that he heard the word “base” during the lesson, which sparked him into launching a tirade about how “crazy” and “stupid” it was that the U.S. paid to build and maintain bases overseas.

His first grievance was reportedly against South Korea, when he suggested charging rent for a $10 billion missile-defense system the U.S. built there to protect South Korea and American troops. He then complained about NATO, saying it was in “arrears” to the U.S. for not spending enough money on defense—a complaint he’s repeatedly raised during his presidency.

Trump is then said to have complained about President Barack Obama’s Iranian nuclear deal, and the length of the war in Afghanistan. Each time, his generals reportedly tried to gently explain why his view of these complex geopolitical issues might not be entirely accurate. It was reportedly during a conversation about Afghanistan that Trump blew his top.

The president reportedly called Afghanistan a “loser war,” and told his military leaders: “You’re all losers... You don’t know how to win anymore... I want to win... We don’t win any wars anymore... We spend $7 trillion, everybody else got the oil and we’re not winning anymore.”

The Russians (Soviets) got out of Afghanistan after 9 years.  They understood.

The US is going on 19 years.

The US understands, the leaders just don't care, especially factoring the motivation to return to Iraq wasn't an ignorance issue but a lying issue. 

 

I find it weird how often people continuously assume good intentions in those who consistently act in bad faith.

  I finally tried to use my phone for posting something last week, and I almost smashed it by the time I was done. I understand now what you have been saying about posting from a phone.

The link doesn't show up for me anymore either in the OP,  but I'm also running a lot of scripts (on my Surface) that affect what I see (and don't) on my browser.

My father always told me the military loves wars.  It's what they train for and how they gain rank.

The struggle is real.  And I truly hate how many links are now a "google.amp.something", and not to the real article.
