A small suggestion I'd like to make to any Dem

who feels obligated to say that he or she gives trump credit for ending the war even if he make a bad deal. First of all, why are you voluntarily giving him credit for anything when no one asked you? If you are asked, sure, you can say that.

But IMMEDIATELY pivot to how stupid, unnecessary and costly this war is and how it shows that trump does not have the judgement to lead.

I mean, c'mon, guys, this is what's called a layup.

Who are the Democrats saying this.

Every Democrat I know or have heard gives Trump zero credit for ending a failed, illegal war he started.

and others too. They are not supportive of the war and never were, but they seem to want to get out ahead of being called hypocrites for criticizing trump for getting out. Not that I even believe we are "out".

we’re supposed to thank him for sacrificing the lives of our military sons and daughters and killing Iranian school girls because the deranged asshole is bored and wants out of a winless vanity war he started? FUCK NO!!
