    1. @Trailin’ Annie because your too dumb too know we will have too start all over with making relationships and alliances is hard to come by with a new face too trust. But you too dumb to understand that.

    2. I reported Trailin’ Annie as spam since she/he has been spamming every comment thread with the same cut and paste response.

  1. He’s not only doing this to hurt America, he’s also doing this to make sure when president elect Mr biden come into office Jan 20, 2021, tht biden won’t have a smooth transition!! Such a freaking baby!!! I can not wait until #45 leave this office!! January can not come quick enough!!! 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤷🤷🤷🤷

    1. AND, liberals are angry that we are NOT leaving our troops in other countries, in harms way!! They are angry that we are bringing troops home!! They would rather see them blown up, dismembered or killed because?? They HATE Trump!! If Hussein Obama announced troop reductions, they would give him another Nobel Peace Prize!! Think For Yourselves!!

    2. Me too. Dump is the biggest disgraceful president ever in our history. Many of these people are going to be coming back to no jobs, a virus out of control and a country in divided. He’s such a shameful example for future presidents.

    3. lets think this through… so you think Trump is trying to hurt America by removing troops from a pointless 17 year conflict that does not benifit Americans in any way? you sure you want to run with that? dems truly do make dumb comments due to TDS

    4. @Paul Wilson No, that’s not what I’m saying. What I am saying is until the region is more secure, which it is not, we need to have the presence in the area. I’m sure our troops understand their duties, even thought Trump calls them losers and suckers, but it’s the job they signed up to perform.

  2. Nice to see the republican tradition of pulling out troops in the Middle East, leaving a power vacuum for terrorists, and letting the Dems deal with it is alive and well in 2020.

    1. @Trailin’ Annie It’s not about leaving it’s about how we leave. To bad it’s not just as simple as turning off the lights and locking the door. People who have been our strong allies are left swinging in the wind. Look at the Kurds, our strongest allies in the war against ISIS we simply walked out on them. No telling how many Kurds lost their lives because of trump’s actions.

    2. @Paul Wilson if you must know I get news from may media news outlets. Including RT(Russia Today), Fox News etc. I’m sure way more places than you. You should not assume anything makes you look like a fool.

    1. You’ll be gone. One way or another
      You lost.
      You’re losers.
      Now we’re going to take the Senate. Then your cheeseburgers, windows and suburbs.
      Oh, that’s right you live in a trailor.
      You should be alright as the storms get worse from Global Warming
      Go on back to your FOX eat more conspiracy theories.
      Be miserable and unhappy

  3. Trump knows the people of America don’t want them doing these stupid things like he always does anymore please stop

    1. @The Last Danite
      If you look at most of the moves Donald Trump has done during his presidency dealing with allies and areas of the world of conflict Putin also has a vested interest
      Calling NATO obsolete pulling troops out of Syria
      Asking for Putin to be let back into the G8 etc.etc.etc.

    2. @The Last Danite
      Read carefully I said PUTIN LLOVING THIS not it benefits him …😂😂😂

    1. @Melisa leal diaz big embarrassment since before election he said biden was the worst candidate to lose to lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    2. @Big Earl He May be live in his own reality of his own making anyway I think we should just all get along … And Move On there’s too much stuff going on in our country anyway happy Thanksgiving to you and your family God bless

  4. tЯump*, the Lyin’ King is throwing grenades in every direction just to create havoc for the incoming *REAL PRESIDENT.*

    1. @Paul Wilson If you are not from the US that is so funny as the entire world sees that the US fell in every way down the rankings, only people in US think the US is #1 …. just like people in North Korea think North Korea is #1.

  5. Trumps first order of business is giving Putin what he wants not helping America people get through covid pandemic.

    1. The last Danite the paid Russian troll, your anti-American pro-russian lies , deflection and misinformation will not be tolerated in America! Trump trash will be removed by the 46th president of the United States of America Joe Biden

    2. @norman leffell It’s anti-American to want to pull out of a shithole like Afghanistan and let Russia waste their blood and treasure there? Russiaphobia will never die in this country.

    3. Paul when the impeached felon pulled us out of Syria the Turkey army bracket bomded American soldiers and Our Allies the Kurds, but you know this Russian troll

    1. @A S I sure don’t want either his or Melania’s portrait on display in the White House. I wonder if Cheat-o ever allowed Barack Obama’s portrait to be installed?

    1. @Kelly Harvey Not necessarily, less troops means less patrols, less convoys, less training Afghan/Iraqi nationals. That’s where American soldiers are put at risk. It’s never just been a numbers game in these wars.

    1. @Kelly Harvey i think the islamist had a part in destabilization. Islam is NOT a religion of peace… its a death cult

    2. @Paul Wilson Yes, we started it. To leave them just prior to any deal, sends a giant green light to the Taliban, as Putin celebrates.

    3. @Paul Wilson Dehumanization is how they getcha. You’ve been conned, and Donald loves your vote, but despises you.

    1. @1oldgoat Frederick, Fred and Donald came too late for the founders to anticipate Donald’s blatant abuse of power. Coming too late is “allegedly” a genetic shortcoming shared by all male Trumps.
