You can’t trust Saruman look how he back-stabbed Gandalf. Trump had little choice but to take him out. Middle Earth isn’t a safe place.
That’s just your own partisan prejudice on display.
Trump isn’t a habitual liar?
Not any worse than most of the rest of the politicians in DC.
Who an what you’ll believe is based solely on your own prejudice.
I think you may have understated the frequency of his lying.
That is on you.
Media hype and cries of wolf.
Trump admin is more honest and transparent than any in recent times
Ironically because Trump is not a DC insider.
Actually, it is.
WildRose:That’s just your own partisan prejudice on display.
Trump isn’t a habitual liar?
Trump worshippers cannot just admit “yes, he is a habitual liar.”
WildRose:They are not going to give anyone in the press or public the details of the exact threats that had been identified nor should they.
To reveal same would jeopardize how the intel was gathered and the sources from whence it was derived.
Too bad we can’t give this admin the benefit of the doubt. This is the consequence of the habitual lying by Trump.
They don’t need your benefit of the doubt.

Credibility?
Zero.
Zip.
Nada.
ETA: Except to the gullible.
Trump lies about everything. Therefore, he was probably lying about this.
I will never be privy to the intelligence provided to the CIC, nor will anyone not in the “know”.
So speculation doesn’t really matter.
If the President thought there was imminent threat, I trust him to act accordingly.
Serious question - why do you trust a man who lies so frequently and is so obviously not interested in details?
kingarthur65: WuWei:We did. And he assassinated two US citizens.
You trusted that Obama made the right decision on that? Good to know.
No, the country trusted him to make the right decisions on that. He didn’t.
I would characterize it as he got to make those decisions regardless of trust, and I know these decisions and others were absolutely second-guessed and pilloried by people who didn’t support him.
And would have been no matter what decisions he made.
Just like now…
Not any worse than most of the rest of the politicians in DC.
Who an what you’ll believe is based solely on your own prejudice.
Trump’s lying is pretty well documented. You’re too entrenched to notice or care. It’s alright.
Trump admin is more honest and transparent than any in recent times
They are honest about not caring about transparency. Which is fine. Just don’t make this administration into something it isn’t.
Better check on that with the guy you see in the mirror.
The only difference is that he has about 6 million people fact checking every word that comes out of his mouth and even if he simply gets something wrong you all scream “Liar, Liar”.
The rest just don’t get noticed anymore unless it’s something completely insane or egregious.
It’s hard to say…I watched three of the four Sunday morning shows…and not one of the hosts could come up with a sound answer. No one could say for sure. How odd is that? I saw a lot of well we know what he was capable of…and we know he could have had plans. But was there a threat?
The world may never know.
This administration is working just fine no matter what you or I think about so called transparency.
I enjoyed the video of the Iranian people assiduously NOT stepping on the US flag over the weekend.
Hope you did too.
