"The plan is to get out of endless wars to bring our soldiers back home, not be policing agents all over the world. If you looked at other countries, Russia, China, they don't have countries to take care of. We have close to 90 countries in one form or another all over the world policing, and frankly many of those countries don't respect what we're doing, they don't even like what we're doing and they don't like us."
President Trump confessed the open secret that the US wants the oil in Iraq and Syria (October 21, 2019):
"Same thing here [Syria as in Iraq]: Keep the oil. We want to keep the oil". I don't think it [keeping troops in Syria] is necessary other than that we secured the oil in a little different section, but we did secure the oil."
President Trump exposed Obama's murderous regime change destruction of Syria, a US intervention many liberal-leftists supported (October 23, 2019):
"Eight long years after President Obama's ill-fated push at regime change, U.S. troops are still on the ground in Syria. More than half a million people are dead, hundreds of thousands are terribly injured, and millions more Syrians are displaced. It really is a nightmare of misery."
The President of the United States' opposition to Russiagate McCarthyism
Trump repeatedly stood up to the new Russiagate McCarthyism - before he began his own anti-socialist, anti-Black Lives Matter version in 2020 - in contrast to Presidents Truman and Eisenhower who long remained complicit with the 1950s McCarthyism. Trump called it the "Russia collusion hoax" concocted by the national security state ("the deep state") with the Democratic Party and the corporate media ("fake news") to undermine his presidential bid before the 2016 election. His continual rebuttals were often directed at "deep state" FBI's Mueller, CIA's Brennan (who authorized CIA torture), NSA's Clapper (who denied NSA spying on the US people before Edward Snowden documented the exact opposite), the Democratic Party and their corporate media mouthpieces.
President Trump pointed out that Democrats used the concocted Russia collusion story to rationalize their embarrassing 2016 election defeat.
"There has been no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians" I can only say this, there was absolutely no collusion. Everybody knows it. Every committee I've been in office now for 11 months. For 11 months, they've had this phony cloud over this administration, over our government. And it has hurt our government. It does hurt our government. It's a Democrat hoax that was brought up as an excuse for losing an election." (to CNN in January 2018)
Trump objected to this McCarthyism being used against Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein (October 21, 2019):
"Hillary Clinton you've heard of her; she's the one that's accusing everybody of being a Russian agent. Anybody that is opposed to her is a Russian agent. So that's a scam that was pretty much put down. Tulsi I don't know Tulsi, but she's not a Russian agent. I don't know Jill Stein. I know she likes environment. I don't think she likes Russians. If she does like them, I know she's not an asset. She [Clinton] called her an "asset" of Russia. These people are sick. There's something wrong with them."
US electoral system is rigged
The President of the United States declares to the world 'The US electoral system is rigged," which is true, just not rigged the way he claims. Trump's conduct has since discredited that statement, but it bears remarkable similarity to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's tweet after 2016, "Our election was hijacked. There is no question. Congress has a duty to #ProtectOurDemocracy & #FollowTheFacts."
