This is the person reading intelligence reports and taking actions as the commander in chief. Somehow that doesn't sink in.
The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

Kelly's press briefing yesterday. Wow. Very moving. Really went after Americans in general, that congresswoman, and Trump.
So American folks, what does this mean in real terms?
Imagine if Trump puts the UK on his travel ban based on a Guardian report (which didnt even mention islamic terrorism) 
I'm not American, but it in effect swaps medicare cover for about 30 million people for the largest tax cut for the highest earners in American history.
"...they volunteer to protect our country when there's nothing in our country anymore that seems to suggest that selfless service is not only appropriate, but required... but that's alright".
Burn.
How many small businesses does Trump own? Well they'll all get a nice tax break. And then there is the estate tax. His kids will get a great tax break once he passes.
I saw this on Twitter:
That's the thing with this presidency. As disgusting and absurd as it sounds, nothing would really surprise you. While I haven't seen the Rachel piece and don't know if it's true, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Trump was willing to risk his own troops in order to further his own agenda or satisfy his corporate friends.
I saw this on Twitter:
This needs to turn into something big.
WTF is he on about now?
Edit: So it's about this report which doesn't seem to mention radical islamic terror at all.
Our increase in crime has very little to do with Islam. It has a lot to do with young people literally believing they can literally get away with murder. Knife crime in the west midlands has gotten out of control over the last 12 months for example.
There was a man killed at a charity boxing match in my home town. I am 99.99% certain that the man responsible was white and either christian or held no religious belief.

Distraction from that nonsense in Niger. A closer look into what happened there would reveal some very nasty truths. Those soldiers being killed were ALL his fault.

Does he realise that quotation marks imply that you are copying something verbatim? Literally nobody but him has suggested that the increase is to do with the spread of radical Islam.
Tell that to the families of the million dead in Iraq.
Exactly the response I'd expect from Trump.
Or those murdered during Saddam's regime. Two can play that game.
I'm sure it will, came across a decent twitter thread summary of what we know so far and it's fairly damning stuff already.
Sounds like Trumpesque whataboutism to me.
Both Saddam and Bush were murderous tyrants. I don't see why condemning both needs to be a mutually exclusive thing considering they both piled heaps of suffering upon the Iraqi people.
Ok so you agree that pre-2003 Iraq wasn't exactly a bucolic scene of Julie Andrews dancing in the hills to the Sound of Music. With Democracy and better governance within reach today, I'm guessing no one is fondly harking back to return to living under Saddam.
Nice deflection. I never claimed it was a utopia and I've always hated Saddam.
Your 'get over it' comment is what I found extremely tasteless when referring to a war that led to a million dead. Its pretty much the equivalent of "But her emails!".
Don't waste your time with him.

What does it matter with the USA?
The usual change the topic stuff from him.
I think it's amazing that the only reason the public* knows US troops are in Niger are because some of them were killed. Without those deaths, this mission (which I still haven't seen much about), and the presence of troops there, would be unknown. It's frightening how omnipresent the US military is.
*at least the part of it that watches the news.

No mention of radical islamic terror +
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...increase-fivefold-since-london-bridge-attacks
It can't be both ways (increase both because of radical islam and Antti-muslim hate crime. people won't read past his tweet. he doesn't even care about the harm he is doing with his tweets.
So Kelly lied.
Yep, Kelly has been bamboozled by Trump to go out and defend him and had now been caught up in this mess.
Lied as in Kelly knew what was true and purposely said the opposite?
Yep.
Someone needs to build a website dedicated to matching Trumps tweets with the channel that said the same thing a few minutes earlier.
As much as the Republicans deserve some payback for that Benghazi shit they pulled, what's most true in my opinion is something that was stated by a 3 or 4 star General who had to testify to Congress in that inquiry:
Broadly speaking and excluding the eastern horn, Africa is probably the place on the globe where the US military would take the longest to deploy any kind of force in quick reaction. The Air Force has nothing on the continent, carriers don't patrol around either of the coasts since its not strategically important. The reason why the SF ODA had no air cover and there was no QRF is pretty much the same as Benghazi.
This will happen again, unfortunately.
Really damning stuff. Needs to be more attention on this. Considering they're the best and most well-equipped military in the world, stuff like this just shouldn't be happening.
I read somewhere more people died in Las Vegas shooting than in UK terror attacks this decade.

I go from being amused to fuming when he uses us as part of his propaganda.
Proper scumbag.
Are you sure the public didn't know?
Nigerians have known that American troops were in Nigeria as far back as last year.
But we were told it was strictly non-combat.
Niger is a different country.
There was a story not long ago that US are building a Drone base in Niger. Soon they will have drones all over the World ready to kill anyone at any time at the president's will. Without need to present anything to a court.
September 11th????
As a bit of a lamen with that language, what does this mean?
