Mulvaney: Trump's Syria Withdrawal Hated By Officials, But 'Ordinary' People Love It!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney on Sunday admitted President Donald Trump’s sudden decision to withdraw American troops from Syria is extremely unpopular with lawmakers and Defense Department officials. But that’s OK, because “ordinary” people love it, he said without evidence.

During an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace asked Mulvaney whose advice Trump listens to if he ignores the recommendations of his national security team.

“The president listens to a bunch of different people, including the people who ... live here and the ordinary Americans,” responded Mulvaney, who will assume the role of acting White House chief of staff in January.

“We recognize the fact that this is unpopular within the Beltway,” he added. “We recognize the fact that it’s unpopular within the Defense Department. It’s very popular with ordinary American people.”

2. Trump wanted a yes-man for CoS and he got one.

Remember, Mulvaney was the guy who said Trump was a terrible person but he'd support him anyway.

3. Nice spin/lie asshole. Nt

4. Ordinary people....

they struggle to select what to eat while going thru the drive-thru at McDonald's....that is the limited scope of tRump minions anyways....Mulvaney says this all knowing, Trump is now our Dictator in Chief....he has essentially an complete Unconfirmed Cabinet...so that HE can make all the decisions....destroys democracy as if it was his grandiose mission all along since getting into the White House...

6. Then, all of us here must be Extraordinary People.

7. Mulvaney has no contact with "ordinary people" if he can avoid it and has no idea

what they "love." This jerk wants to do away with food stamps and go back to handing out bags of commodities instead, regardless of individual preferences, allergies, etc., and had the asinine stupidity to liken his plan to Blue Apron.

8. How will we react to the news of the slaughter of our friends the Kurds?

9. Oh, everyone knows that "ordinary American people" are the BEST military & geopolitical strategists.

10. I love it too but hate the way it was done and worry that our soldiers are in more danger now.

11. I dunno

Do I want a bunch of American service members as permanent sitting ducks in a hostile part of the world that will never be tamed?

I abhor the man who made the decision, but if President Obama had decided three years ago to pull the plug on these Middle East deathtraps, wouldn't we have applauded him?
