1) I don't like is friendly interactions with the dictators of  North Korea and Russia.
2) I wish he had done more,  (a lot more) to fight the increasing federal budget deficits.
3) I'm against removing  or threatening to remove U.S. troops from Germany,   Syria, and Afghanistan.

It's obvious you do not understand politics in the least. I'd explain, but if you haven't gotten it by now, you probably never will.

If you're going to point out that federal spending bills must start out in the House then I'm fully aware of that.   Presidents still have a great deal of influence over federal spending though.

No, it's not that at all. Has NK Kim threatened the US lately? Trump has boxed Putin in, but you watch FUX, so you'd never hear a peep on the reality of the situation.
And Germany has been screwing us for decades, they shirked their duty to pay for NATO, they made a deal with Russia over LNG, after decades of our protecting their asses from the Russians.

If they want our troops, let them pay for them and NATO support as well. I could go on for days, but this is basic shit you should already be aware of, but for whatever reason, you insist on staying ignorant.

There is no reason to have thousands of troops in Germany. Germany is perfectly capable of building a military to protect its borders. Also, deployment of troops has advanced so far since WW II that on site American troops are no longer necessary.

1) Our troops in Germany are not there to protect Germany.
2) Overseas bases are now even more important as the U.S. has LESS airlift and sea lift capability that it did a few decades ago.

First off, I noticed that you listed several things that you liked and agreed with President Trump on. You only listed three things that you claim to not agree with. I also did not see where you got your information from, the liberal lying media?

Secondly what would you like the President to do, NOT have "friendly interactions" with dictators? Maybe get into a war with them? Would you be happier and more agreeable then?

Thirdly, the President is trying to save the country money, (you claim to care about the deficit yet, criticize the President for trying to save money?).

Fourth and final comment. President Trump will "do more" to fight the growing and huge deficit but, again he has had widespread opposition to everything he has done or said. YOU criticize him for trying to trim the military while politicians and the media spin EVERYTHING he does or says into something "bad" or negative. As I've said many times, President Trump cannot win no matter what he does or says.

Then why are they stationed there? I was stationed on the NK DMZ, was I there to protect NK or SK?

Quote2) Overseas bases are now even more important as the U.S. has LESS airlift and sea lift capability that it did a few decades ago.

Completely irrelevant! Tech is changing faster than we can build ships, drones are the future, sadly.

Are you not aware our big presence in Germany was established to provide a defense from Russia? So why in your view are they still there in such large numbers?

Russia is a perfect example that you watch CCP Media, it was all a lie.

Speaking on January 1st on the network's New Day program, Zakaria described the Trump administration's conduct with Russia as "tough," noting the various actions taken by the president in the country:

"You know, the dirty little secret about the Trump administration was that while Donald Trump had clearly had a kind of soft spot for Putin, the Trump Administration was pretty tough on the Russians. They armed Ukraine, they armed the Poles. They extended NATO operations and exercises in ways that even the Obama Administration had not done. They maintained the sanctions."

1.  It's called knowing your enemy.  It was a brilliant move by a president who thinks outside the box.  I would have done the exact same thing.
2.  The House and Senate controls the budget.  What decreases in spending bills were sent to the president?  Hell, Congress can't even deliver a budget bill on time.  The economy had to be ignited before decreasing government size could be accomplished.  I bet we would have seem cuts in Trump's second term if not for the China virus.
3.  As a veteran, I applaud the president for bringing our troops home.  He values the lives of our soldiers over trying to patrol the world.  Promise kept.

President Trump accomplished more than I expected while under constant harassment by democrats using the DOJ, FBI and CIA.  Just securing the southern border won him reelection in my book.

1. So you would perfer remaining on a war footing with the insane lunatics running N Korea firing missiles all over the fkg place rather than initiating friendly interactions....?  I see.  Trump should have gotten the nobel peace prize for his work in NORK

2. Eliminating/reducing foreign aide doesnt count?  Whose social security check should we pull to give more $$ to Sudan or outer Slobovia?
3. So you want US Troops to continue to engage in fruitless and COSTLY endeavors in third world shitholes Like Ghanny
    and acting like the world police But you want a reduced federal budget....make up your mind

Drones are useful but can't remotely replace manned platforms in large scale combat.   An expert on drone technology in Foreign Policy magazine agreed with me on this.
