TV journalists love a war story. Beware of Trump triumphalism in Syria.

1. msnbc is full of crap

[MattP]

2. Both senile in office?

[oasis]

3. Warhawk Lindsey Graham said Trump had some of Reagan's "instincts".

Whatever that means.

[Kath2]

7. Hatred of the less fortunate, maybe?

Reagan's instinct was that of a narrow-minded bigot.

[oasis]

10. "Doesn't give a damn about the less fortunate" might be a more

accurate description. A person must give thought to something or someone he hates. I'd say many in the Freedom Caucus are "haters" as well as basketfulls and bushels of "Deplorables".

[Kath2]

11. He certainly did not give a damn.

[guillaumeb]

9. Yes, both are/were money obsessed racists.

Both were ignorant clowns.

[oasis]

12. Graham is getting way too much face time from MSM. If he wasn't

John McCain's personal valet, they wouldn't give him a second look.

[guillaumeb]

15. Graham was jealous of Kelly Ayotte and the attention that she received.

So he is compensating.

[Kath2]

4. Oh, shit.

Here we go. Trump's impulsive use of the military should NOT be encouraged. The egomaniac will take it as a mandate for another damn useless war.

5. They actually are quite similar in many respects

Not sure that the comparison is too far off.

Reagan was definitely more of a true believer with respect to the RW ideology, of course, but they are both entertainers who went into politics (when Reagan became governor of California - it was considered quite ridiculous at the time) and they both seem keen on the whole "peace through strength" thing (which Reagan came up with and Trump's people are now pushing).

6. Me too on Twitter, because of the dementia.

They have that much in common.

[haele]

8. Like the way Reagan pushed Granada?

To get the public's attention off the failure in Lebanon and questionable actions members of his administration were involved in and about Central/South America and other third world countries where there was a lot of American Profit interest?

13. Yeah, both unfit to be president.

I agree. Reagan did an enormous amount of harm and DT seems to right on track to do the same.
