6 new reasons the Democratic Party hates President Trump so intensely:
1. Two Muslim nations recognizing Israel.
Two small and minor Muslim nations and one with deep financial links to the Trump/Kushner clan. And the fact that the so called "peace plan", totally sidelines and ignores the Palestinians...
2. Refusing to get us into war in Syria
So, the US troops who are STILL there, are what.. window dressing?
3. Reducing troops in Afghanistan and Iraq
Reducing that has been going on before he took office.
4. Publicly stating he will NOT go along with the military industrial complex to get in more wars - calling them out publicly
And at the same time increasing the military budget to feed that military industrial complex.. WUPS!
Fun fact.. US military spending in 2017, first year under Orange man.. 662.55, which was a decrease from the year before. In 2018, the spending went up by 7% to 681 billion and then up again to 718,69 billion in 2019. The budget for 2020.. 738 billion.
5. Not getting us into any new war - unlike any president has done for decades
Not for lack of trying...He does not want to be seen as one who starts wars, so he has been provoking the main enemies like Iran and China, who have not taken the bait... something the US military brass is very thankful for as they know they would lose any wars against those two nations.
6. Vowing to reduce troop count in Germany
Yea.. by moving most to other places in Europe or the Middle East...
Little could be more outrageous to the Democratic Party concerning foreign policy. Over 90% of all American war deaths have been under Democratic leadership - so they do NOT like this!
90%?
From 2004 to 2008 (included), 4222 US service men/women died in Iraq.
From 2009 to 2016 (included), 302 US service men/women died in Iraq
From 2016 to 2020 (included), 59 US service men/women died in Iraq.
From 2001 to 2008 (included), 564 US service men/women died in Afghanistan
From 2009 to 2016 (included), 1729 US service men/women died in Afghanistan
From 2016 to 2020 (included), 63 US service men/women died in Afghanistan
So under Republican Presidents, who started BOTH wars, 4911 US service men/women have died, and under Democratic Presidents who were left to clean up the mess, 2031 have died.
Now no matter how you slice and dice this and manipulate the numbers... 90% aint happening. At best you can accuse Democratic Presidents of being behind around 30% of deaths.. but that leaves 70% in the hands of the GOP Presidents, mostly George Bush who started both wars.
So much for these failed debunked and hilariously bad attempts to prop up your failed orange leader.
