After the annoying opening ad please listen closely to what Trump says.

@ItsMeMorgue The entire video is interesting but the short montage of Trump explaining why any war in the Middle East is needless and dangerous and I am certain those were the reasons a lot of people voted for Trump. My only question is if Trump was taken captive willingly or forced. Obviously there has been a 180 in Trump's stance.

@hippyjoe1955 I'll tell you what's going on with him. As his dementia takes hold, more and more, he tends to focus on the last thing someone has told him to focus on. This was evident to sharp-eyed observers even a decade ago, but the difference between his first term and his current term is that in those days, his staff members included people who would tell him when something he suggested was a bad idea.

He's either fired or investigated everyone who used to get in his way when he proposed something that wasn't going to work, and replaced them with people who blatantly suck up to him. And it's an unfortunate fact that 100% of the blatant suckups are sucking up because they have an agenda. This should come as no surprise to anyone with even a passing knowledge of politics, but it apparently took him by surprise.

So now, his entire cabinet consists of people who want war in every oil producing country on the planet, because they have a vested interest in cornering the world's market on crude oil. So they tell him to invade Venezuela under the pretense of stopping drug trafficking, even though we all know which South American countries produce the most drugs. And they tell him to invade Iran under the pretense of stopping their nuclear program, which they're only a couple of months away from perfecting, according to Benjamin Nosferatu, who's been pushing that same lie for 30 years.

Of course, it doesn't hurt from his perspective that he thinks all of this will distract us from the Epstein files, in which he's named something like a million times. That's why he does so many over the top things. Attacking the LGBT, setting military against American civilians, threatening our allies such as Greenland and Spain, invading Iran, and allowing insane religious extremists to talk on television about how Iran is run by insane religious extremists.

It's all theater. It's all a distraction. And we need to focus.

@ItsMeMorgue I have heard the dementia argument before and I don't buy it. Trump does not have that level of dementia that he would completely reverse his position. A dementia patient doesn't change that way. They simply become more set in their way until they are simply drooling in their soup like Biden was/is. Nice theory but having watched many many dementia patients whatever Trump's problem is it is not dementia.

@hippyjoe1955 Well, allow me to sell it again.
I never said he completely reversed it. What I'm accusing him of, flip-flopping based on what the most recent opinion he's heard happens to be? That's how he's done business his entire life. He's just becoming more blatant about it now.
How about dementia revealing the easily influenced person he always was? You buying that one?

@ItsMeMorgue Trump has completely reversed his position on the war in Iran. Did you watch the few minutes I referenced?

@hippyjoe1955 I did. And the conclusion I have drawn is that he has no actual moral convictions, and just says what it takes to convince people to believe in him. There was a time when he made attempts to conceal it, but he no longer has the capacity.

And if I sound like I'm speaking from experience, it's because my dad is going through the same thing. He's a people pleaser, and tells people what they want to hear, and it's becoming more and more blatantly obvious.
