Did he just come up with the troop drawdown idea oh, say last week?

He needed something to replace his bomb Iran brain fart.

Hurry up January.

1. Another attempt to remove the stink of defeat.

3. Sure it was all thought out. LOL nt

2. Trump and the media didn't bring it up much

But this has been Trump’s public plan since early Oct

5. Plans for a second term? Playing cards with a loser hand.

4. I think so

He has been more minute-to-minute than usual, just randomly throwing anything and everything out there. He still has two months to go and I fear he will just get worse. God, I wish someone would sedate him.

6. He was about to blow when they LTAO at him at WHCD. Now

he’s the laughing stock for the whole world. His tweets don’t even upset me nowadays. I just laugh at them. Some make you LOL all day long!

10. His tweets have become so random

and erratic, it is hard to take them too seriously.

You have to admit though, in a sense he is quite the overachiever. For a long time he was just an oddity and a joke for parts of the U.S., but now as you say, "he's the laughing stock for the whole world". That's an accomplishment of sorts. I don't think anyone else can possibly compare.

7. No matter who or the reason - withdrawal is long overdue. Fuck these meaningless and endless wars.

[mobeau69]

8. Agree. I was questioning the timing.

9. I think it's on Putin's to-do list.

I think I read where one Russian oligarch said, "We're going to milk this cow dry before he leaves office."
