"Former Defense Secretary Gates: 'At least' Trump 'hasn't started any new wars'"

[Snake Plissken]

Hitler didn't start any wars until his sixth year in office.

[Walleye]

1. Yet.

[dalton99a]

2. Or raped a young girl on live television

[uponit7771]

11. +1, he's getting to that

[Snake Plissken]

3. Exactly, what saved us is Trump's laziness, because you know he wants to start one

Just so people will speak about him in the future, right now his failed Presidency is about as forgettable as it gets

All people will remember are protests, rioting and a botched response to a pandemic

[ck4829]

4. Hasn't ended any either

[lame54]

5. He tried...

He assassinated an Iranian general

[kentuck]

6. Except maybe a race war in America?

Give him a little more time.

[LakeArenal]

16. Exactly!!!

[2naSalit]

19. +1

restarting the civil war was high on his "to do" list.

[Hoyt]

7. True, and glad to see it, but he's sure destroyed America and relations with other countries.

[handmade34]

8. his point? and the statement is questionable...

[Snake Plissken]

9. His point was about the same as saying ...

At least Charles Manson didn't kill anyone.

[SoonerPride]

10. He hasn't eaten a live baby

That we know of


Yet

[LakeArenal]

17. He's got a bunch caged. Are you sure?

[MontanaMama]

18. If McDonalds made

hamberders our of babies...he’d be all over that.

[eleny]

12. .

[essme]

13. What a fabulous epitaph!

"At least he didn't start any new wars...."

[AleksS]

14. Not for lack of trying though.

It's strictly other countries, and Trump's own incompetence that have allowed us to avoid the wars he's tried to start (Iran notably.)

[Arkansas Granny]

15. "Damned with faint praise" was the thought that crossed my mind.

[Tripper11]

20. What about the war withing America?

You know, the right vs left, or pushing a race war, there are those for 2 quick examples...just saying

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Sort Of

He blackmailed his way into western Czechoslovakia, then occupied the rest. Then marched troops into Austria.
The western powers failing to react stopped the war, but he was clearly on war footing.
You're right that in 1939 he attacked Poland after England & France said it would be war if he did it.
Had Chamberlain been more bellicose, the war would have started much sooner.

[Baclava]

22. We could expand our living space, moving our border 100 mi north into the habital zone of Canada

Without hockey, what reason do they have for being there anyway?

In return we would back their expansion of 100 mi of our southern border into Mexico, and call it Southern Canada, nice and warm for snowbirds

Oh yes, its time we did some border work, but not with silly walls!

[spanone]

23. He's weaponized politics to a dangerous degree. He's at war with humanity.

fuck gates

[LiberalFighter]

24. Gates should had kept his mouth shut.
