Trump to get Gulf states to pay for safe zones in Syria

What a fucking genius...
Get Gulf states to pay for safe zones in Syria.
Get Mexico will pay for our new wall.
Get lenders to pay for business blunders(multiple times), through bankruptcy.

Anyone up for dinner and a movie? Let's make amurica great again - I'll make one of my neighbors pick up the tab.

For him, and his followers, it's about getting more, and sticking the tab on someone else.

His bankruptcies and the Wall are old news now, I know, however, regarding Syria...how can they not see that we all, as humans, share a responsibility in helping the situation in Syria.

I'm tired of the US serving as the police force for the world (largely because our version of police force involvings shooting, bombing, and attackingwith drones). If we want to stop paying for that, I don't have aproblem with it.
