Trump Crosses a Line

Donald Trump usually follows “conservative” advice when he acts because he has no brain. Largely these people and organizations are ecstatic because he’s been implementing their awful, self-serving, destructive policies consistently. They get the crazy shit they have always wanted with some degree of insulation and separation from accountability.

But Donald doesn’t understand the military angle, that our forces are there not to protect America from actual threats but to further business interests. And Donald must be monitored at all times or he will improvise and do something incredibly stupid. So, he caves in to Turkey’s autocratic leader on a phone call. He was probably winging it.

But NOW some and certain “conservatives” are upset and criticizing him. Are there humanitarian issues? Yes. Are there foreign policy issues? Yes. Are there all kinds of issues? Of course. There always are, but they only get weighed when the larger issues of America’s corporate interests are at stake because that’s all they really care about.

Where were they when Donald did all the other stupid shit? As long as it aided corporations and rich people they were entirely on board.
