Related: About this forumTrump on CNN Stole from Bernie...what a jerk
So Trump is in an interview with Wolf on CNN. Wolf says you said you would send 30,000 to fight Isis in Iraq and Syria. Trump says: I would never send that many troops. I said that the military said that we would need 20,000 to 30,000 troops to get ISIS..
He goes on and says almost per verbatim that he would get those in that area to fight ISIS he would not use our own military. Maybe support them but he would use those countries in that area to fight ISIS.
What a blowhard jerk. Hillary started using Bernie's stance now again word for word Trump is too... Can't they come up with their own ideas...geeze......

(5,792 posts)They must steal from him because it's him that is telling the truth and they know it. Both Hillary and Trump.

(25,237 posts)they wouldn't be taking Bernie's positions if they didn't think that they are bad. So why do we have to elect a Bernie imposter - when we can elect the real thing.
Go Bernie!!!!
Feel the Bern!!!!!

(154,021 posts)but I am actually bothering to put together what Trumpism is.
This is straight from his own writing regarding this
* Militarism.
* The expansion of the military as a jobs program, in fact like Reagan did.
* Making others pay for our protection, that is pay for our troops in their nations protecting them.
As far as intervention is concerned these are his markers of when to intervene:
* Direct Threat to the United States.
* It must be obvious to the American people, not just to experts.
* Get in and get out, do not get bogged in.
No he does not believe, overtly, in getting bogged down with boots on the ground. He actually applauded Putin for his Syria efforts, since they got in and got out. I loathe the guy, but on this one they both agree.
Now back to the exercise of putting together a short piece, NOT TO BE RUN HERE, since I have found there is really no interest on Trumpism. I think that people should know as much about his philosophy, becuase it is both dangerous and critical.
