Donald Trump's Fatal Errors — Page 12

I think we should save our outrage for real abuses, not stupid things that Sean Spicer said. The Trump administration is doing everything it can to distract us from its horrors, and it's apparently working.

It just boggles the mind why so many people are picking apart Spicer's words rather than Trump's war.

There are so many idiotic things happening simultaneously, people are discussing all of them. It's not either/or. It's all AND. Just don't expect anything rational to come from Congress. The only surprising move they have made was forcing out the health care reform bill, which was a no-brainer, anyway. Unless a miracle happens in 2018 in the form of people actually turning out to vote, we're locked in to 4 years of Hell that will take 16 years to clean up.

Every time I see a post by a tRump supporter, I'm reminded how awful our country truly is.

Did you fully read your source Newintown? It's true they were used on a few occasions but were clearly not part of any war plan. They were not used against the troops entering Germany from either front. This, again, is a ridiculous discussion. Upon googling "chemical warfare WWII" the first five pages are 100% Sean Spicer.... moving on.

SF I reccommend you take a trip to the Holocust museum in DC and then come back and tell us about the use of gas during WWII.

And back to Trump, at this point I don't know how anyone is supporting this disaster...

Trump Brags About Eating the "Most Beautiful" Chocolate Cake During Syrian Missile Strike Decision

Then forgets which country he just bombed.

Recounting details about his decision to launch missile strikes on a Syrian air base last week, President Donald Trump took several moments during a Fox Businessinterview that aired Wednesday morning to enthuse about the "most beautiful" chocolate cake he enjoyed at his Palm Beach resort with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump was entertaining the Chinese leader at Mar-a-Lago when he ordered the military strike.

"I was sitting at the table, we had finished dinner," Trump told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. "We're now having dessert—and we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen—and President Xi was enjoying it."

Bartiromo then said it was "brilliant" that the missiles were "unmanned."

"It's so incredible. It's brilliant," Trump agreed.

Then Trump appeared to momentarily forget which country the United States had attacked last week, naming Iraq instead of Syria.

"So what happens is I said, 'We've just launched 59 missiles heading to Iraq, and I wanted you to know this,'" Trump said in the interview. "And he was eating his cake. And he was silent."

"Syria?" Bartiromo corrected.

"Yes, heading toward Syria," Trump said. He followed up by mentioning Xi finished his dessert.

I think that, as adults, we have the ability to focus on all the aspects of the entire picture. Anyone who can't consider both the immorality of the bombing as well as the idiocy of Spicer (and several other current events) has an unusually limited mind.

I am neither "continuing" nor "giving up" anything. You, on the other hand, appear to have a sort of inexplicably pathological antipathy to this one particular story, which merely keeps the ball in play.

And again, I must say, that it's certainly an idiotic notion to say that one can't talk about this if they also talk about that. Unless, of course, you believe that your mind is only capable of grasping one topic at a time and that everyone else's mind is similarly limited.

With respect, it seems like quite a few people are parsing Spicer's words on this board, while you may be the first one to join me in clearly condemning the bombs.

ETA: That may not be true. But there's been a lot more chatter on here about Spicer's gaffe than the bombs. Certainly, in the media, there's been much more condemnation about Spicer saying what he said than about Trump getting us into another war.

My mind is limited. Limited to important things not garbage. Newintown, Captain Greer, I recommend you unclutter your minds with useless information and start to worry about our planet and children. Sean Spicer misspeaks about chemical weapons, this is serious, really!

Again, Newintown ( and I know this seems a difficult thing for you to grasp, but make an extra big effort), discover what's important in the world, and then come back and chat about something that matters

Like advice regarding the Hamilton cancellation line? You posted about that yesterday. Is that something that matters and is important in the world?

U.S.-led coalition accidentally bombs Syrian allies, killing 18 (WaPo)

U.S.-led aircraft accidentally bombed friendly Syrian forces fighting the Islamic State in northern Syria on Tuesday, killing 18, the Pentagon said Thursday. The April 11 bombing marks the worst confirmed friendly-fire incident in the nearly three-year-old war against the terrorist group.

I don't recall Trump holding a press conference to provide updates.
