      I think people get confused when they see millions of dollars in aid. They don’t get it’s all equipment that probably wouldn’t have been used again anyway and think the US just prints a bunch of extra cash to send over.

      It’s hilarious when they say this. “Sending money over there” is a literal catchphrase for Trumpers.

      He’s full of catchphrases like this. It’s all he knows how to do, rile up his idiot fanbase, because that’s what it is, (no politician should have a fanbase) and shift blame/dodge questions. And he is frighteningly good at it.

        Say what? How is that even a catchphrase? I don’t recall hearing anyone ever say that “catchphrase.” Who told you “sending money over there” is somehow a protrump catchphrase?

        Lemme help you. You are generalizing stereotypes, never a smart thing to do. I do agree about this:

        no politician should have a fanbase

        I’m certainly no trumpster, and personally hate how he has turned the conservative party into the “trump party.” I have some conservative leaning views as well as some more liberal views.

        Don’t be so ready to classify people and turn it into a “us vs them” issue. We should try not to stoke the flames of division, there is more than enough of that.

          It’s a talking point… stay with me… that turned into a “catchphrase” because it’s used so much. It’s not to be taken literally.

          Still with me or?

          You cannot have a debate with a Trumper without him/her saying “democrats send money over there” in one form or another.

          If you don’t fall into this category, congrats! This comment isn’t about you!

          But no, I will as divisive as I need to with Trumpers, they are a cancer on this society that is attempting to take root in the heart of our country yet again. They should be ridiculed and weeded out, forced back into the shadows where they can nurse their wounded egos and barely.masked bigotry in solitude.
