The President is not desperate. He simply knows what is at stake, and he loves this country and its people enough that he is not going to let neither country nor people go without a fight.
If he loses to the current set of Democrats, I believe America will live to rue the day. At the moment, we have a President of the Constitution in the White House. Because of static from the news media, we Americans were not listening in past administrations.
We are not listening still.
Perhaps we never will.
I mean LAW and ORDER messaging hasn’t worked.
He is looking for a message that will resonate.

Ahh, I see. A message of Law and Order may be resonating greatly in a lower register. Perhaps we have taken it too much for granted in this country, and we will be learning the perils of that.
I capitalized just like the POTUS.
If you capitalize it makes it apparent the desperation.
Allan
Disagree. Capitalization is meant to call attention to a word or issue. Now, if an entire paragraph is capitalized, it is overdoing it and comes across as annoying, not desperate. A little here and there is fine.
You don’t have to. He is not approving the vaccine. And if he pressured anyone to do it early, it would make national news within an hour of when it happened.
I would happily take the first dose that comes off the line.
The betrayal of the Kurds involved removing our forces so that Turkey could go in and wipe them out, and Trump staying he’d be very stern with Turkey if Turkey did bad things.
Turkey went in and did bad things, and Trump sanctioned them, and after the Turks accomplished their goals and stopped killing, Trump lifted the sanctions.
Every single Kurd who died thanks to Trump’s removal of our forces is on Trump’s head.
There was no diplomacy involved there, just Trump making sure that the Turkish government didn’t seize Trump Towers like they’d been threatening to do.

Reports which his supporters would refuse to believe…
How about stupid, in going to show our allies that we weren’t to be trusted?
Although I admit they probably knew that already…

What reports? I have not heard any. Neither have you. Kamala lied. Trump is not involved in the approval process.
And every single Vietnamese that died after we left Saigon is on our heads as well. The questions are whether we should have been there in the first place, who made the promises and if they should have been made, and whether our continued presence is our business or our duty. Those are not our countries. Our presence where it is not wanted very easily makes things worse in the future than they might have been.
This President’s view is let’s take care of America first–you know, remove the wooden beams from our own eyes before we go forth to remove splinters in other parts of the world.
If previous administrations made those promises, than those administrations should have carried them out. The fact that they did not should not make it an eternal problem for future administrations. Did Congress bind the US with such a promise? Was it signed by any President?
As I say, we have plenty to clean up in our own backyard.
Pressure, just like hydro.
And viola it is approved.

Trump is not going to “mandate” the vaccine.

I think you’re demonstrably wrong, Meri. This President’s view is - what can I do to make sure the businesses I have in these countries are going to be protected…and if it goes against US policy then to hell with US policy…
Please link me to a quote where the President said this.

Stupid is in the mind of the beholder. What was stupid was us being there and in the first place.
Remind me though … what does this have to do with COVID vaccine?
Of course not. It will be highly recommended and some professions will have no choice. That’s about it.
I’m going to wait for the lines to become really short, like I do at a buffet. Then I’ll think about it.

Are you a contact tracer? Can you say for certain that he contracted COVID at church?
