Humility is not in Trump's Vocabulary

[nw_hunter]

President Donald Trump on Monday ripped The Wall Street Journal after the newspaper's editorial board warned the president not to believe anything Russian President Vladimir Putin promised regarding Ukraine.

Trump and Putin met on Friday in Alaska, where the Russian leader reportedly promised that, in return for the eastern Donetsk region, he'll stop his assault on Ukraine and won't invade other countries.

The Journal's editorial board on Sunday said Putin's "promises are worse than worthless."

"I've settled 6 Wars in 6 months, one of them a possible Nuclear disaster, and yet I have to read & listen to the Wall Street Journal, and many other who truly don't have a clue, tell me everything that I am doing wrong on the Russia/Ukraine MESS, that is Sleepy Joe Biden's war, not mine," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"I'm only here to stop it, not to prosecute it any further. It would have NEVER happened if I was President. I know exactly what I'm doing, and I don't need the advice of people who have been working on all of these conflicts for years, and were never able to do a thing to stop them.

"They are 'STUPID' people, with no common sense, intelligence, or understanding, and they only make the current R/U disaster more difficult to FIX. Despite all of my lightweight and very jealous critics, I'll get it done — I always do!!! President DJT."

  I believe that many, many politicians are not in the least bit humble...  Trump just doesn't BS people about it !

  BTW; the six wars either prevented or stopped are:

    Afghanistan War - Initiated peace talks with the Taliban to withdraw U.S. troops.
Syria Conflict - Reduced U.S. military presence and focused on defeating ISIS.
Yemen Civil War - Advocated for a ceasefire and reduced arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
Korean Peninsula Tensions - Engaged in diplomacy with North Korea to denuclearize.
Iran Hostilities - Sought to negotiate a new deal and reduce military confrontations.
Libya Conflict - Supported diplomatic efforts to stabilize the country and reduce U.S. involvement.

  ..And all accomplished within 6 months ! He has a reason to be proud, since no other president, or world leader so far as I know..has ever done that.

  On th eother hand, many presidents managed to start wars within 6 months of taking office !

I would agree. While I support him as my president, I would not want to have dinner, or supper with him.

[Casull]

I disagree Dee.  Even Bill Maher was surprised at how well his time was with Trump.

LOL, I wouldn't want to have dinner or supper with Bill Maher either.

[Lloyd Smale]

not much chance of an invite id sure go to dinner with him but dont own a suit so it had better be applebees

What does Bill Maher know? He smokes dope all the time, and was most likely high when talking to Trump.

You apparently didn't understand my post.  I'm no fan of Maher's.  But while Maher hates Trump, even he had to admit that Trump was pleasant and cordial.

[Lloyd Smale]

and so does everyone else thats met with him in private. now would i want to be on the other end of a bussiness meeting? hell no! but go to dinner with him. i doubt there's anyone here that if you cut through the typical bs and chest pounding that would turn down a chance to meet him in private.

I just learned that we still had troops in Afghanistan in 2025? and North Korea has de-nuclearized.

Funny, I read the same post, and didn't read any of your nonsense into the post. How old are you? Just curious.

The bear? Is just upset that the socialists and communists aren’t at the helm. Makes me happy to know their tighty whities are in a bunch.

Dinner with Donald. A fun time?  Pleasant experience?
So says “everyone else thats met with him in private.” Hmm. Maybe the leopard has changed his spots. When I was living in NYC back in the years before and after 9/11, I met a number of people who “had dinner” with Donald, worked with him, traveled with him. NOT ONE of them had anything nice to say about him. He was crass and clueless. His favorite subject was DJT.

Well, different people have different traits. I certainly wouldn't consider him clueless as he reads people, politicians, and news reporters like a book. I could definitely see him as crass at a sit down dinner.
I don't agree with you very much, but I don't consider you crass. I consider you either clueless, dumb, or perhaps trollish. It just depends on the topic of discussion on the vibe I get.
Trump tells everyone (over and over and over) how smart he is, and how much hes accomplished. You tell everyone that you don't worship yourself.
it all balances out.

  I didn't vote for Trump to be a sugar cookie pushover.  I have seen too many "conservatives" , who facing the least bit of kick back from the likes of Hillary, Schumer, Pelosi or Obama..just curl up and dry out like a shed snake skin.

   In this case, I was tired of that crap, and wanted to hire a king snake...to take care of the of the ones who have been carrying venom for years. 

  It is not in any way difficult to see that other nations have their own leaders, seeking to constrict others, ...China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, even the EU... and on down the list.. They were naturally, looking out for their country's interests.

  ..Not like our leftie leaders..who seem to be looking out for the Palestinians, cartels and illegal aliens first !

  I have happily watched our champion Meet and tame these predators, one after another..

  Three cheers for our champion !  We have many billions, even trillions , rolling our way and falling into our treasury..

  Our flag is now held in respect by our friends, and in fear by our enemies and terrorists..  Reminds me of that day in 1962, when sailing up the channel and past the White Cliffs of dover, on a troop ship, with Old glory flapping proudly on the mast...  How proud i was !!

   America was both loved and feared then ...and those great old days are back !

 One by one our antagonists have fallen into line .  Especially since he has scrubbed out the corruption in many of our government agencies..

   I'm sure his political foes will try to say he is crass, and his friends will say he's a real gentleman.. What else is new in politics ?

  In the meantime, I'll be pleased to soak up the domestic and  international wins!  ...And I am not yet tired of winning !!

Well, any snake is still a snake, so perhaps a cross between a mongoose and a possum. That likely sounds like an odd cross to most until you find out that while a mongoose is good at killin snakes, he's not immune to some American venomous snakes. A possum is immune to all American snakes.
But  anyway, I think he's likely the best president in our history. So far. But he is also the braggingest president in American history.

  OK...I'll take the 'possum, so long as he does the job ! 

[Dee]

I used to kill possums when I'd run across'em until I decided to see if they were good for anything.
They kill and eat snakes, and are totally immune to every poisonous snake in the country, and can withstand multiple snake bites. They eat thousands of ticks every year, and clean up carrion that find.
I never killed another one of the homely little critters again.

Now there you have it. Another one of my more useless pieces of worldly animal facts.

[scattershot]

Well, he’s a take charge kinda guy, and I like that. No doubt that’s why he has accomplished more in the first seven months than that worthless Joe Biden did in 50 years.. Can you imagine this country right now if that moron Harris had been elected?

we need some up here. no poisonous snakes but for a couple months in the spring we sure have some ticks for them to eat!!

  One has to understand the extreme Alpha personality..   When one understands that, the whole issue falls into place.

   I offer a duplicate personality to consider. This man would often shoot off at the mouth and find himself in disfavor, and the center of negative attention.

  ..But at his primary job, he was the paragon of excellence, and unparalleled by others in his field.  ..But his mouth got him set aside when important tasks came up !

    ..That is until others realized that "nobody could do the job like Georgie could" !   Of course, I speak of Gen George S. Patton, the armored tactician, par excellence !

     So as I see it, "don't sweat the small stuff", and fret over a few stressful words...  We know Trump wrote the book on diplomacy..so just let this expert do his job,
     
     ..And all we have to do is enjoy the "winning" !

      Remember...   "You're not bragging if you can back it up !"  (Mohammed Ali)

With all due respect to Ali, I've always found that statement to be ridiculous.  If you can back it up, it is bragging.  If you can't back it up, it's just lying.  A strong man doesn't need to tell anyone how strong he is.

[Lloyd Smale]

says weak men and the left his "bragging and words" have put the whole world on notice. made or trade tariffs much more fair, stopped illegal migration in its tracks, has put fear back in our enemy's and put green deal hippies in their place and is stopping soft on crime policys. hes not really bragging so much as telling it like it is. a trait that MEN in this country have lost! a trait i admire! could he be smoother? maybe so. but like ironglow said "he backs it up" whens the last time we had a president that did that?? honestly i think if anything his sometime quick to react without class scares his enemys which are MY ENEMYS! I wouldnt have him change a thing. last thing we need today is a diplomatic quiet type! the time to put away the jeweler's hammer and take out the sledgehammer is here and its way overdue!! you want some rough talk or do you want Jimmy Carter standing up to the Chinese!!!

Agreed. The loudest man in the room is usually the weakest, and the most dangerous man many times is the quietest.
As I've said before, Trump is likely the best president in my 75 years, perhaps ever, but his penchant for personal recognition wears on the ears.

lmao

[Lloyd Smale]

yup its time for politeness manners and humility  https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/fiddling-while-rome-burns-america-ignores-chinas-rising-red-tide. maybe he should brush up on polite restrained chinese. the rest of you too if you want a polished same old crap politician running this country. ill take the braggard thank you very much! it amazes me that leftists beliefs that self confidence and telling it like it is have become something to criticize and its obviously penetrating even into the right and our military. its all about political correctness and less about results. we finally have a president that isnt afraid to step on toes and even tell his opponents to go F themselves and some here actually think thats a weakness. look at a room full of special forces troops. 99 percent of them have big ego's, huge self confidence and even bigger balls!! the quiet polite one never make the cut. those are the types i want defending my family! be it military, police or firefighters!! not some politically correct quiet guy that just got his liberal arts degree. we need patton's today not the last terms boot lickers. we need trump today. not carter!!

  I respectfully disagree..  ..And i will relate a personal incident....(.from my much younger days, of course).

  I was at a friend's shop with a couple guys, and we were checking out a Chevy 283 engine which he had just pulled, and from which he had removed the carburetor and manifold..
it
  He wanted up on his low bench, so I reached to lift it.   My friend said, "you can't do that" !  To which I replied."yes I can". and went ahead and did it.

    Moral to the story, I wasn't bragging..I said I could do i...and I did it !  No brag, just fact..  Again as i said, that was many years ago..
