WTF? ....Trump to ask Americans to trust him on Afghanistan

[spanone]

Trust Him?

(CNN)Donald Trump will ask Americans Monday to trust him on his new Afghanistan strategy, exercising a president's most somber duty, a decision on waging war, at a time when his own political standing is deeply compromised.

Trump will make his first prime-time broadcast to the nation as president at 9 p.m. ET to unveil his new plan, and a potential escalation of the nation's longest war, after a lengthy period of deliberations that carved deep splits within his administration.

The speech will test the President's capacity to convince Americans that he has settled on the right course of action on a major national security issue, and to unify the nation around it, despite his own depleted approval ratings and behavior that has alienated many voters in his first seven months in office.

Trump's first major national security address will also begin to show whether the credibility that the President has squandered, with his provocative rhetoric and frequent resort to falsehoods, will hamper his capacity to lead.

4. a con that has said non-stop that he doesn't trust

This nation's intelligence is now going to trust them in an escalation strategy?

The only thing he could do to win my trust is to submit his signed resignation witnessed by Mueller.

5. Trump doesn't even know where the Middle East is in this clip...

How can an idiot who doesn't know where the Middle East is, while in the Middle East, run a war in the Middle East? The president of Israel was mortified . See the reactions here..

9. It'll be a troop surge

He's asking Americans to trust him because he knows it's going to be unpopular on both sides of the political spectrum. Even conservative voters want him to get out of Afghanistan.
