    • @fax - yep it was. Great piece.fadein11

    • I watched it. I'm impartial and unbiased Z that's how I'm able to see the few positive things Trump has done so far, unlike the gaggle of blind haters abound

    • and has been quoted as saying that America needs to 'start winning wars again', directly implying the potential for new conflicts abroad.BuddhaHat
    • Based on the evidence, it seems like a contradictory position to be holding.BuddhaHat
    • Did I not say 'a few good things'? I'm aware he is also following suit as the President of the U.S and planning to do terrible things too.

      ********
    • ...towards the last president, even though he has a far, far, far, far worse portfolio of actions. I don't doubt Trump will probably leave with one as...
      ********
    • ...bad, unfortunately.
      ********
