Has the United States declared itself a conquering force in Iraq now? Seems so says trump.

Defense secretary says we will not leave even though the Iraqi government has voted us out. So now we are colonizers. We are officially persona non grata and any future forceable action we take can and will be viewed through that lens.

Trump has managed to do what no other could, he has United diverse Islamic groups. Groups who ordinarily would have little to do with each other, except perhaps fight one another. Now they are rallying around a cause. Hatred towards America and most especially trump.

The rallying mourners and protesters, according to CBS news, were so massive they could be seen from space. Trump has provided them with the martyr. That is one of the greatest mistakes you can do in any field. Even in something as simple as sports coaches are loath to allow teams to disrespect, disgrace or embarrass their opponents. In matters of national honor and war, trump has handed the Islamic world the torch and banner they need for the foreseeable future.

EVERY retaliation trump threatens will only embolden and strengthen the Muslim world. If he takes any more violent steps in this engagement he may very well set the world afire. This is why so many western nations are stepping back from trumps actions and disavowing him.

This is what happens when ignorance and arrogance are allowed to rule. Nothing on the face of the earth is more ignorant nor arrogant than present day republicans and their orange haired “wanna be a big deal” trump.

Trump told us all along who he was. He hates any and all as need determines. He cares nothing for any human on this planet other than himself. He has taken narcissistic nihilism to new lows, dragging America with him.

Shame on us for any longer tolerating this monster.
