"What was Suleiman's job title? Where did he fit in the chain of command? What do you think will be the effect of your assassinating him? What immediate threat did he pose to the United States? What responses have you received from our remaining allies?"

most of the population has no business serving as Commander in Chief.

Also true of IMPOTUS, of course.

He acted like he knew who Soleimani was, but then thought he was a Kurd. It's like a kid trying to bluff a teacher.

And nobody ever holds him to account for any of it. His followers will even ignore what they know is the truth in order to be in agreement with him. We should not be here. It's a complete failure of our system and our press. This country has definitely entered its period of decadence. If we can't depend on ourselves to ask simple questions of our leadership and keep tyrants from entering our government, we don't deserve our position in the world anymore.

It amazes me that a rather large part of the population will put up with this kind of in- your- face lying and deception. They even defend it!

He never should have gotten away with not doing press conferences. If they were holding regular press conferences, most of his shit would have been nipped in the bud a long time ago. I wish the press could somehow force him to do them like they used to do.

Without references...it is a fake..I don't care who is talking.. I checked you tube, and there is no information about where or when this was made. Just cause someone says,,,"resurfaces" at you tube, that means less than 'nothing.. Something like this needs direct references as to where, when, who, how made, etc.
And beware, lots of people are in this game for lots of reasons. They are not all reliable and ethical.

If it is said that this was in 2015 or 2016 is that enough to prove it is real??? and not a fake??

I hate Trump with a passion, but we need the truth. Who knows if this is real or fake?. We are living at a time where a person could fake this in his own home. The ability to fake something like this has been proven over and over by people right here at Democratic Underground.. We should know better than this..The last thing we need is disinformation about Trump the asshole.. Yes, I hate him more than you know, but I want the truth, and not something that is not reliable.

Without references...Take this shit down ...NOW!!!!
