Trump says contradictory things so frequently it's chronic, but he has spoken this basic notion consistently since way back.
And why not? Everyone knows it was a sham deal and a bad idea, even those who still support it. (People can say one thing, do another, and believe a third with amazing ease.)
"War on Terror (aka Middle East) Bad", say Trump.
I kin haz cheetos now?
Curious to see what kind of legs this brings.
One thing reliable about Trump is that, given no way out (he's stuck in the Oval Orifice), he will aim for the most glory he can without personally suffering. While the milindustrial complex attacks him through both the Democratic and Republican parties, the people are totally on board.
Trump, having spent many years in the White House, surely knows that, in every war game scenario the Pentagon has projected between the USA military and the heavily-armed USA populace, the military loses.
It's not just that we have an awful lot of guns, but that we have way more people than military... and they have nowhere to go.
They'll fight, discover what a paper tiger our military is, and there you are.
I don't think he's wanting to foment revolution, but he wants the assholes pushing him around to know that he holds the (please forgive me) Trump card. He's every bit the asshole they are, and crazy in just the right way to understand the ridiculously self-absorbed/self-indulgent narcissistic, practically sociopathic political mindset of most Americans.
We'll probably blow up a shit-ton of Saudi Arabia after trying and failing to successfully occupy it, while Russia probably sits back and lets us so long as we confine it to Saudi military and oil targets and don't create too vast a refugee issue, in which case Russia might use some of their latest weaponry and fully humiliate us before the world.
Which would be good so long as the loony Dominionists in the Pentagon don't try to start Armageddon, something they would do with or without Trump's permission if it were done during the thick fog of war, making it very hard for Trump to say it wasn't his fault or that he didn't authorize it.
