Trump reacts to dead service members by boasting he got a 'great deal' for their lives - Lemmy.World

“We expect casualties with something like this,” [Donald Trump] said. “We have three, but we expect casualties - but in the end it’s going to be a great deal for the world.”

So, follow me on this. Iraq’s population was actually initially happy saddam had been deposed. And that turned into a $16T, 15 year, million life quagmire. And Iraq is still a weak, uncooperative country. I can’t imagine taking over Iran, a country that hates us and accepts its leadership, with weapons systems orders of magnitude greater in number, and far more modern equipment.

There can be no good deal for the world. I feel like I’m listening to a car salesman, but he’s the president. He’s literally bribing the military industrial complex to keep himself in power post-term and selling it as a good thing. Uuuuugh.

He’s always taken advantage of greedy people. Its his super power, and he’s got plenty of greedy people in America. The greedy people are okay with it because its what they would do if they had as much power as Trump.
