Such cowardice.

That fake-president Pussygrabber would rather see American service people dead than captured is truly deplorable. It's sad how much he hates America, and those who serve in our military.

Most base Trump supporters tend to be cowards.

If that's a shot at me I'm not 4 out of 5 of these things.

Still, they're better people than the people who deny news, applaud dictators like Putin, and defend everything Trump does?

The fish rots from the head. Trumpkins, likewise, take their cue from a coward who files bankruptcies, abused women, and they do it in the imaginary hopes he'll “restore“ America. They excuse every angry tweet, saying “at least my agenda will get passed.” That's their internal excuse. “It's all the Left's fault.”

They're cowards. They'll deserve Trump's betrayal of them. Because of all the people, he's the biggest one.

Disgusting coward and liar Pussygrabber doubles down, insist he can't be criticized. He is the enemy.

If this is what he think "winning" looks like, losing is going to be devasating to the whole country.

Donald Trump is our President, and no matter how much we dislike him, we can all wish that America have success in its military actions. It is not his right to make the judgment that a raid be a success simply because he ordered it.

Yes, he had no more experience in military life than his predecessor, but at least President Obama knew enough that military actions actions require due care for success. The leader who calls for such actions has the responsibility to give the military officials who have the responsibility for those actions due discretion in planning and execution.

But what could a mere politician like his predecessor, a 'Professor of Constitutional Law' do to get success of a raid that might end in the death of a reviled terrorist? Maybe he could first consult the people who know more about what it takes and heed the counsel of such people. Osama bin Laden did not die as he did because the President at the time thought himself a 'winner' whose 'winner' quality would make something work. He contemplated the possibility and consequences of failure and made sure that everything possible would make success possible. He contemplated any international repercussions, including responses to the likely death of a reviled terrorist.  The whacking of the mastermind of 9/11 went well, and the contribution of the President was to authorize the raid when things seemed best for its success. He gave credit where it was due -- the CIA for establishing a good time and place for whacking him and Special Forces for doing the underworld-style hit.

He didn't put his life and career on line. He did his role and did it right, which matters far more than some self-ascribed quality of being a 'winner'.

But President Trump is too arrogant about his self-proclaimed 'wonderful' qualities to have any respect for the successes of his predecessor. That's one way to ensure that those successes come to an end, and he becomes a failure.  This man's ego is far bigger than his competence.

You act like Trump botched the planning of the Yemen raid but it was planned and approved under the Obama administration.

The only reason Obama didn't sign it is the operation was contingent on a certain phase in the lunar cycle which results in a "moonless night".

This was the GWoT equivalent of airdropping a bunch of grunts at a random spot in the Vietnamese jungle, in the hope they'd run into VC and it would turn out in our favor.

Pussygrabber won the election (never mind how) and now he's sitting in the big chair. That means he gets to be responsible for the calls he makes, and for the outcomes of his regime's actions.  If he doesn't like that, he can go back to being an actor and big-time real estate con-artist. The world would be a better place if he did. (And that's coming from someone who thinks Pence is an incompetent fanatic.)
