Oh, now I see that H L Mencken's prediction in 1920 came true.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron."

The arguement is over Chemical Warfare. The threat of use of any Atomic missiles is a threat to use Chemical weapons globally.

Probably peace. Now we have multiple global wars raging and draining funds from the American People.

No need to bash Biden, there's no courage in insulting a president with economic approval in the 20's.
Worse on his botched Afghanistan pullout.

Cmon Man!

Yeah, its Biden's fault that Trump's old friend Putin attacked Ukraine.
Oh wait, no. Its Putin's fault and Biden defeated Putin in just one year as a result.
Trump wants to give Putin Ukraine for free, without fighting, so we could say that Trump does not stand with Ukraine in that conflict. No. He stands with his friend Putin.

It's clearly Kim Jong's fault then.

Rome burned while Nero fiddled.

There's been fighting over that territory since 2014. Is it Biden's fault you never picked up a history book?

I doubt it was your fault.

Putin's embarrasing defeat in Ukraine was a clear message to China.

China now knows that it shouldnt attack Taiwan, or else USA ( 💪) comes and shows China why USA is called the only superpower.

Yup, Russia is defeated. Guess USA and the Ukrainian Nazis will just let them keep the Donbas now and declare a victory.

BK just wants to replace Putin with someone else who will start ww3 faster instead of waging a defensive war in the Donbas.

It’s something of a miracle that no new major wars erupted with the “Donny come lately,” whereas we now have 2 with this current, career pro.

No, I don’t hate Trump. I pretty much accept what Bill Barr has said about him, though.

If you loved your country you would hate Trump. Because of him we no longer have a record of peaceful transfers of power.

He tried to steal the election by telling the Big Lie.
Trump is a subversive

No, I haven’t confused you for a sensible adult. Bu5 it’s good that you are finally starting to break from Trump and Trumpism.

I don't know why people keep bringing this up because it is patently false.

You don't have to be a politician to have political experience. Trump was a lobbyist for his business for years. He would use his pocketbook to buy off politicians through legal campaign contributions and by currying favor with them through meetings.

And he did this internationally, too. In Russia, UAE, and other countries he had to regularly navigate the political landscape there to get his projects built.

So Trump, in reality had decades of both national political and geopolitical experience. 

As to military experience, he did go to a military academy where they taught the basics of warfare to their students. So he did actually receive military doctrine training.

Lol. Unbelievable. 

The only military experience cadet Bonespurs has is dodging the draft during the Vietnam War.

Trump believes Christians are wackos, so he isn’t completely in left field.

I didn't say he served in the military. I said he attended a military academy where they taught military doctrine.

I’m sure you have no idea what they teach at military schools for high school kids, but it isn’t “military doctrine”. Just keep talking out of your ass. That’s what Trumpers do best. Facts don’t matter in Trump world, that’s why Trumpers prefer it. 

Trump was supposed to learn not to be a liar at the New York Military Academy, but that obviously didn’t happen.

 At New York Military Academy. Trump was known as a gold brick who consistently broke the rules. He was dismissed from his only command assignment for being a detriment to unit discipline and morale.
Even in High School he was a loser and a failure.
Oh, and his father sent him to military school because he was a lazy gold brick and rule breaker in regular high school.
Then he went to Fordham, where he got lousy grades and was a layabout and rule breaker. His father bought him a spot at Wharton undergrad where he was “The dumbest student I ever had,” according to one tenured professor. He graduated without distinction and has no graduate degrees, though he likes to pretend he has a Wharton MBA (he does not).
