Quote:Originally posted by THGRRI: Trump Accuses Obama of Wiretapping Trump Tower During Campaign Donald Trump alleged in a tweet storm early Saturday that former President Barack Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower before his election victory. Trump did not provide any evidence for the claims, which followed an interview on Fox News where the allegations came up. "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" Trump wrote as part of a series of tweets Saturday morning. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-accuses-obama-wiretapping-residence-during-campaign-n729056

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: My question is- Is he just getting a bum rap? Is the deep state out to get him? Is all of the bad press simply a pile-on of interventionist-liberals? Or is there really a problem? Is there a method to his madness? Is he just out of his depth in an unfamiliar environment? Or is he totally whack-a-doodle? Time to revive the topic. I'm hoping to focus on Trump's ACTIONS .... particularly those in foreign policy, where he has more effect .... not gossip. Incisive analysis preferred. Bullshit not welcome.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: And I'll start off the thread: North Korea. Trump's actions ... sending carrier groups in the direction of N Korea, conducting large joint military exercises off the S Korean coast, test-firing interceptor missiles, etc ... seem designed to crank up the situation, not to defuse it. Also, there is something going on in the background with China ... apparently some sort of agreement was reached between Trump and Xi Jingping, which both sides feel have been abrogated. Because we don't know much about the presumed agreement, it would be impossible to decide who broke it first, or whether it was just a misunderstanding. I'll be very honest and say that I know next-to-nothing about N Korea, aside what you can read in the general press. My IMPRESSION is that this regime is like a child with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) .... the more you push it, the more it pushes back. N Korea has gone to the level of starvation and hasn't given in, so I doubt that additional sanctions or blockade would cause the regime to knuckle under. And starting a shooting war over N Korea would be the height of folly. I've also glancingly heard that the only thing N Korea wants is direct talks with the USA. IF that's the case (and I don't know that it is) what's the harm? One more comment .... I see that the Trump administration has taken a page or two from the Obama/ Bush playbook: Make up something provocative about the next invasion target ahead of time (Yanno, in the realm of "Saddam as WMD" or "Qaddafi is massacring his own people") and use that as an excuse for military "intervention". In the case of Syria, it's the (false) assertion that "Assad gassed his own people". In the case of N Korea, Trump doesn't HAVE to make anything up ... but here we seem to have two leaders (Trump and Kim Jong Un) whose MO is "brinksmanship", and every indication that - if desperate enough, Kim Jong Un would use nukes.
