Xiden discloses Trump’s top secret classified drone rules.

NYT is almost giddy as they write.

Gave commanders in the field decision making capabilities, how crazy is that!

Did Trump disclose Obama’s (drone killer king) drone rules?

I have found that wars are often caused by mistakes made during the peace.

Inside the secret plan to kill Soleimani.

So wouldn’t all this be classified.

Leaking just seems to be the thing that happened during Trumps Presidency.

Still writing about Trump after all these months. Can’t say enough bad things about him to boost their readership.

Even though Trump isn’t President, he, his wife and children still get bashed in the news because it gets readers. Michelle and who ever Xiden is married to, get mentioned near the end.

Xiden doesn’t want to buy untapped mineral wealth of Greenland. Trumps offer is off the table.

China now open to buy it.

Trump poll numbers up with Republicans.
Cheney at 1%
In Kamala race Trump wins by 4 pts.

Not sure if pollsters assumed a 20% fake voting or not by Dems.

How will the Jewish vote go in 2022 and 2024. Will they stay loyal to the party that hates them now.

Oh and BTW it appears the science is settled, Trump was right China created the virus. The only real question was if Obama knew about it.

Liberal view of the Trump Presidency.

Posted by a Facebook friend.

“I may owe my Trump-supporting friends an apology. I’ve been critical of the Trump presidency these last four years, and am still exhausted from the experience.

But to be fair, President Trump wasn’t that bad, other than when he incited an insurrection against the government, mismanaged a pandemic that killed nearly half a million Americans, separated children from their families, lost those children in the bureaucracy, tear-gassed peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square so he could hold a photo op holding a Bible in front of a church, tried to block all Muslims from entering the country, got impeached, got impeached again, had the worst jobs record of any president in modern history, pressured Ukraine to dig dirt on Joe Biden, fired the FBI director for investigating his ties to Russia, bragged about firing the FBI director on TV, took Vladimir Putin’s word over the US intelligence community, diverted military funding to build his wall, caused the longest government shutdown in US history, called Black Lives Matter a “symbol of hate,” lied nearly 30,000 times, banned transgender people from serving in the military, ejected reporters from the White House briefing room who asked tough questions, vetoed the defense funding bill because it renamed military bases named for Confederate soldiers, refused to release his tax returns, increased the national debt by nearly $8 trillion, had three of the highest annual trade deficits in U.S. history, called veterans and soldiers who died in combat losers and suckers, coddled the leader of Saudi Arabia after he ordered the execution and dismembering of a US-based journalist, refused to concede the 2020 election, hired his unqualified daughter and son-in-law to work in the White House, walked out of an interview with Lesley Stahl, called neo-Nazis “very fine people,” suggested that people should inject bleach into their bodies to fight COVID, abandoned our allies the
