(6,804 posts)He had no plan for anything. The closest he has ever been to a plan is whatever little scheme he playing to get attention at any given time. Look, the guy allowed sub-human creatures like Steven Miller around him, for Christ's sake. He has no concept of society or community except for whatever half-baked, lower class, prejudices he inherited or which he's steeped himself in his whole life. Yeah, re: Afghanistan, he did set up whomever was to proceed him but the concepts and means and methods, the nuts and bolts of it, came from the Kremlin. If he'd been re-elected(which I don't think he ever anticipated)he would have simply ignored and denied, with media assistance, his way out of any Afghanistan connection and that persistent problem would have stumbled along with the unmoored and outdated directives the military had been given in 2001. I mean what's up with our military that they can't tie their own shoes without a cadre of civilian contractors in tow? Hell, the whole world's watching the colossal embarrassment of it's inability to get itself out of it's own way while having had TFG's withdrawal schedule to work with for over a year. Maybe we need to take a critical look at the readiness our "heroes" stand to.
The whole "big lie" thing is a short term scheme to perpetuate relevance which got picked up by the RW media who still run with it via GQP candidates cementing their support with the looney base. TFG was playing America when he directed his mob or morons to attack the capitol bldg. and his line to denial of culpability, again with help from the RW media, is so sewn into his second nature scheming that he knew, to a pretty great extent, he'd NEVER be held to account for it.
We might get lucky and the pestilential fool could simply die soon but we'll still be stuck with certainly the most expensive and possibly the least capably lead military in the solar system.
