Trump just served us a Nothingburger with extra sauce.

How is his "plan" any different than the last 16 years?

From now on, victory will have a clear definition — attacking our enemies, obliterating ISIS, crushing al Qaeda, preventing the Taliban from taking over Afghanistan and stopping mass terror attacks against America before they emerge.



Does he think we're all stupid, or senile, or have amnesia, and don't know how to Google the lying bullshit he just spouted about endless war?

#45 is smarter than the generals, and he has a secret plan. His speech was a crash-and-burn.

The Orange Turd sold his voters a truck load of shit.

6. He criticized Obama for years about the Afghanistan War

and promised that he would be able to end it, with United States victorious. His new "plan" is to stay the course throughout his presidency, so he can run out the clock and put off any definitive decision. "Who knew that being the President would be so hard, who knew"?
Yet another of his failed promises to the people who voted for him.
