Yep, still a fan. I like him because he's not a politician. He's a tough, intelligent, honest CEO, and that's what we need imho. He speaks his mind, and doesn't back down (unlike most Republicans) when the PC Police scream at him. He sticks to his guns. We say we want our pols honest, but when they're actually honest we excoriate them.
One article I read called him "a giant middle finger to the Political Establishment, both Democrat and Republican".
I agree totally.
And I agree with his strike on Syria. Al-Assad is a butcher and should be gotten rid of. Gassing his own citizens is a heinous crime, and should not be permitted. I'm not in favor of large numbers of American boots on the ground, but missile strikes and bombing are fine with me.
We have reestablished respect for the US in the world, and put butchers and despots on notice. Now the world knows who they're dealing with, like when Reagan fired the air traffic controllers. He's making America Great Again just as he promised.
Btw, I saw a map reporting the international reaction to the strike. Most countries were either in support or neutral. The only countries which objected were Syria (obviously), Iran and Russia if I remember correctly.
Egypt, Jordan and Turkey were in favor of it.
Heck, even Chuckie Shumer and Nancy Pelosi applauded the strike.

"Heck, even Chuckie Shumer and Nancy Pelosi applauded the strike."
And John McCain. When those types are cheering your actions, you know you just did something bad.
We still haven't seen any evidence who gassed those kids. Many people are reminded of fake evidence Colin Powell gave to UN back in 2003. I wanna see the proof, and not just empty emotional talk.

I'm not a fan of Chuckie or crazy Nancy either. I just noted their support since they're from the opposition party. Not a big fan of McCain either. He's a rino.
You want proof? I could be wrong, but I believe it's been established that it was al-Hassad. Besides, who else had a motive?

No, it wasn't established. Neocons want us to take their word for it. And Assad had nothing to gain and everything to lose by doing this. But some other players had a lot to gain by doing a false flag operation and putting the blame on Assad.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this.
What other players would gain by doing a false flag operation?

Just saw on the news where Syria just attacked opposition targets. Still think Assad was not responsible?

I forgot to mention (just for the record) another false testimony of a little girl in front of the Congress that started the first Gulf war back in 1991, here.
I hope you see the pattern and why many people don't believe in this newest gas attack.

So if you don't believe news reports about Assad being guilty, why do you believe Wikipedia?

What source do you want? It's a common knowledge, there's no shortage of links.

You're just being difficult now. Admit it, Trump sold his soul to neocons. :)

No I'm just pointing out the inconsistency that you don't believe news sources about Assad, but you do believe Wikipedia about a girl's false testimony. No offense, but you seem to only believe news sources you agree with.
And no, Trump did not sell his soul to anyone. He was disgusted (as any civilized person would be) by Assad's gassing of men, women, children and babies, and decided that something must be done.

I don't trust american news about it. Have you forgotten about "fake news"? How come now suddenly people believe the news when it suits them, but didn't trust them before and called them fake news?

I don't trust the main stream (or lame stream as we conservatives call it) American media. Which media do you trust?

Definitely not CNN... they are becoming unwatchable.
Independent news, I guess, if I can find it.

Shades of Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones conspiracy theories ! Isn't that what you're doing, being selective about what you believe ? And doesn't Wikipedia have a reputation for a lack of credibility at times ?

Do you believe New York Times? Here's the same story posted by New York Times.
Geez, I didn't know people are so sensitive about Wiki, or I'd put this link instead in the first place.
Here's the same story on Democracy Now. Or just google "Nayirah"

Newsflash ! I worked in the media for a number of years and I have some insights into how it works behind the scenes.
I understand your distrust and suspicions and share them, maybe even more so because of my experience.
I'm all for comparing different sources. I do that as well.
At the end of the day ( incidentally, an oft used expression by said media) it takes discernment, a fiercely independent mindset, much reflection and finally, sleeping on it and trusting your intuition to a degree.

Right now, I'm switching between CNN, Fox News and Russia Today. (my head hurts, needles to say :)
I also check one forum that puts links to Syrian sources, twitters and such.
When american representative in UN Nikki Haley cries over dead syrian children, I remember Madeleine Albright saying that 500.000 dead iraqi childen was "worth it" and that puts things into a different perspective. I hope I'm multitasking enough :)
