But I'm not going to spend it blind. Am taking in the nay-brayers to the extent where I believe they are genuinely braying for real reasons.
By at least one measure at this point in his presidency, Trump has been more interventionist than Obama: in authorizing drone strikes and special operations raids in non-battlefield settings (namely, in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia). During President Obama’s two terms in office, he approved 542 such targeted strikes in 2,920 days—one every 5.4 days. From his inauguration through today, President Trump had approved 30 drone strikes or raids in 41 days—one every 1.4 days. These include three drone strikes in Yemen on January 20, 21, and 22; the January 28 Navy SEAL raid in Yemen; one reported strike in Pakistan on March 1; and twenty-five reported strikes in Yemen on March 2.The military build-up is a solid jobs program, and the increase in strikes might only be his promise to defeat ISIS with dispatch, but not exactly swamp-draining — in fact, darn extra-global-controlling — when the new president seems to be so knocked-off-his-pins, so suddenly deflated... being pierced by ISIS media and ISIS Party government officials.
His speech was great, but the activities reflected on his website are seriously mundane over the last couple weeks. I get that he's being assaulted from every corner over literally everything he does, but... well... he might already be considering himself lucky to be paralyzed by the machine for four years.
pipe up any time....
