Trump: 'My own morality' is only restraint on global power
This is performative politics again.
OK, been here awhile, been looking at politics for awhile, and frankly this is the most disturbing quote i've ever heard from Trump or any American president in my lifetime.
After comments by his staff on Greenland and obviously the whole Maduro thing, it is not easy to dismiss this statement as more of Trump's bullshitting, particularly because it's not some kind of wild promise: it's him describing his own mindset.
* do you think he believes this, in his heart of hearts?
* who, if anyone, can rein him in, if so?
* how do you think foreign nations, particularly our allies, will receive this?
* what do you think his next moves will be?
---------------------------- additional relevant info:
Senate voted to block Trump from any more military action in Venezuela, although it still has to pass the House and obviously Trump would choose to veto.
