Vintage Trump: Simpleton mind wrapped in a macho cloak.

Update 10/19/2023

Biden's address to nation on Ukraine and Israel-Hamas put the issue in context in simple terms. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/10/20/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-unites-states-response-to-hamass-terrorist-attacks-against-israel-and-russias-ongoing-brutal-war-against-ukraine/.    Biden's cloak: pro-democracy

Vintage Biden: Biden may look frail in body, but he is strong in mind, heart, stamina, and guts. Years as the chair of the foreign relations committee in the Senate and as vice president and on a first-name basis with world leaders past and present mean wisdom and ability to take leadership on the world stage in the midst of Israel/Hamas. He has a bank of knowledge of unintended awful consequences of well-meaning naive actions in a complex world. Bden is strong in heart with the ability to convey he cares about humans and conveys it with deep empathy. Guts? Going into war zones from Ukraine to Israel. He landed in Israel in range of Hamas rockets as air raid sirens had been blaring. His flight was even riskier than his 10-hour train ride from Poland to Kyviv. Read more at: https://www.deccanherald.com/world/in-tel-aviv-bidens-embrace-of-israel-came-with-a-gentle-warning-2-2733222 His body held up through punishing personal diplomacy trips abroad, and his mind was shaped by warning Israel not to do anything stupid in reaction to the Hamas attack as the US did after 9/11 when taking revenge out on Iraq. and Afghanistan when the actors were Saudi religious fanatics. We know how that ended. His heart directed aid to the innocents and non-combatant Palestinians yet gave emotional aid and comfort to the Israeli victims and survivors. and gave priority to hostage recovery. His moral clarity is on display.

It is a complete contrast with Trump, who is admittedly "transactional", what is good is doing what is the best deal for him. He has no moral standard; lies and cruelty to others are only tools used in getting to the deal.

Vintage Trump: His simpleton mind wrapped in a macho cloak caused simpleton policies on national security from Ukraine to Israel. The range Trump respects: number of feet to the next golf green. His bravery? Private bone spurs.   Up-to-date spin from Donald Trump. lies and distortions. https://www.newsweek.com/key-moments-donald-trumps-cedar... Trump's foreign policy is BS in a china closet. The problem is the wilfully ignorant MAGA followers will still lap it up., If the MAGAa do not believe Russia, Iran, and China are out to eat our lunches, and appeasement, isolationism, and flattery will protect us even if they are threats, welcome to 1938. We know how that turned out. Among Trump's" profound" comments in Iowa, Gen. Milley is stupid, and Trump's body is younger than Biden's, and his daughter and wife are really the complete packages physically..so that makes him better than Biden, and he can end conflicts within a few minutes. .\

One truth he did utter:: his body looks younger than Biden's. Trump's body may look better than Biden's, he boasted, but what is inside needs help, lacking the common sense, a lifelong reputation of good behavior, and wisdom of Biden. Unfortunately, Trump's mind and his attitude are closer to the adolescent reported by relatives, the one who used to hide Playboys in his prep academy dorm room. He never stopped leering, but he boasted about p grabbing, carried out his fantasies, and was found liable in a recent lawsuit. His high school education was in the military academy,a school where out-of-control adolescents used to be sent to a boot camp to straighten out their bad behavior. His emotional development never matured, it appears. Trump Sent to 'Reform School' As Teen for Bullying, Niece's Book Says (newsweek.com)
. The reason he fired back at General Milley as stupid, is a projection of his own ignorance.https://news.yahoo.com/top-general-called-trump-idiot... That is just one recent comment from generals calling him ignorant, or worse.
Trump seems unaware of the history he ever learned, forgot, or the class he slept through. He thinks like a simpleton and utters simpleton strategies that have dire unintended consequences when others in the past have attempted the same approach( 1938 Munich). Example of his stupid simplest thought. Just end the Ukraine conflict in a few minutes...easy, just hand Ukraine over to Russia and then fight them in the Baltics, instead, and with our NATO troops actually fighting? or wipe out the Palestinians to save Israel and ignite a real widespread war?? (FYI: it was not the Palestinians that just invaded Israel, it was Hamas... Trump is BS in a china closet, ignorant at best, self-serving, a danger to national security, neither caring about it or the humanity factor).
On Israel, most observers believe that what motivated Hamas to take their kamikaze attack on Israel was a policy both Trump and Biden embraced, Forging a peace agreement between Israel and the Arab world (being negotiated now with Saudi Arabia) in the face of Iranian aggression, that was leaving Hamas, an arm of Iran, isolated. They also picked a time when wannabe strongman Netanyahu was focused on trying to consolidate his power and eliminate an independent judiciary, making for a distracted, divided country. Now, Hezbollah (another Iran proxy) is threatening Israel with a two front war.Hezbollah Issues Threat to Israel, US as Hamas War Escalates (newsweek.com). Like Trump, Netanyahu was facing indictments. Like Trump, he was trying to weaken democracy.
That is a warning to the US. A reelection of Trump, who is setting out to do likewise, causing chaos and distraction, would make the US weaker again, and vulnerable in a world of bad actors like Russia and China. MSN
