    re: Trump’s personal fixation on ending “forever wars”.

    One has to go back into “The Donald’s” earlier years. … September 1968, and December 1, 1969. (He’s since bragged that he’s forgotten which heel the bone spur is in.) … His oft-repeated statements that anyone joining the military is a fool, stupid and a loser. … His refusal to go to Aisne-Marne was merely the most recent. His family’s said, he’s terrified of being disfigured, and hence of dying. … Donald’s father never “grew the boy up”, and as the family’s said, the young boy’s still very-much down there.

    He likes dictators and strong-men because (quote) “They can get things done.” … Go back into history and study Fred Trump Sr., including what happened to Fred’s eldest son and why. Then what happened regarding Donald – and how it did so.

    Once you comprehend things like that about Donald’s history, his present behavior isn’t so much a mystery. It is, in a very real sense, utterly “rational”, “logical” and to be expected.

    In a long meeting five years ago, Xi Jinping very-deliberately kissed Donald’s posterior and Donald melted in public gratitude. Ahmad al-Shara is very likely to know about that (and so is ISIS.)
