Charles Hurt:
“…watching the full-blown hysterics out of Washington over the past few days reveals just how wildly delusional the Trump-haters have become…
…Their hatred of Mr. Trump has always been all-consuming. From the start, they hated Mr. Trump more than they ever loved America. In fact, that is precisely why he is such a threat to them: his practical, common sense, “America First” agenda reveals how rotten so many politicians and pundits in both parties have become in Washington.
The notion that America should spend billions of dollars and sacrifice thousands of soldiers to protect and enforce the borders of a bunch of barbaric countries halfway across the globe — while ignoring our own borders — is absurd in the extreme…
…So we are deeply entangled in Iraq, a place Mr. Trump and many Americans would dearly like to depart. Along comes Iran, which launches an attack on our embassy compound in Baghdad, ordered by this thug Soleimani.
What on God’s green Earth is Mr. Trump supposed to do in response to such an attack?
Write a check for more than $1 billion and give it to the mullahs? Send a plane under the cover of darkness carrying pallets of $400 million in unmarked cash for the ayatollah? Wipe out effective sanctions so that Soleimani might sow even more terrorism around the world?
Well, that is precisely what the previous administration did. But not Mr. Trump. Instead, he killed the thug.
And good riddance.
Now, let’s get back to the business of disentangling ourselves from Iraq and the rest of that God-forsaken, barren land.
But don’t forget: Never turn your back to them while you’re walking out and never take your finger off the trigger…”
