Did Trump Put The Deep State On Notice With Syrian Withdrawal?

The reason so many people continue to misread the actions of US President Donald Trump is because they tend to confuse him with the actions and behaviors of past US administrations, where indiscriminate death and destruction was America’s calling card around a shell-shocked planet. Although certainly erratic in his actions, Trump thus far has been predictable on one score: keeping the powers-that-be guessing.

Last week, Donald Trump, acting unilaterally and within full power as Commander-in-Chief, derailed the Deep State’s plans for yet another disastrous regime change operation, announcing the withdrawal of US troops from Syria.

In a video released via Twitter, the American leader announced that, “We have won against ISIS…and it’s time for our troops to come home.”

In the not-so-distant past, such an announcement would have been greeted with cheers since it is generally agreed that war is - at least for those doing the grunt work - a very unpleasant enterprise. But the times have changed, together with the national agenda, and instead of applause filling the airwaves, the American people can hear nothing but the screeching of incensed hawks on both sides of the political aisle. That screeching is the sound of the Deep State expressing its deep displeasure and even pain.

President Trump is far and away ahead of the Deep State...His 5 dimensional chess game is fascinating to watch. There's PANIC everywhere the Deep State exists.

YES!! All the COCKROACH families of Bush, CLINTON, ROMNEY, PELOSI, McConnell MCCAIN RYAN, KOCK etc. All the lobbyists and retired military generals like mad dog, Kelly, Peters, ASSHOLE admiral Kirby, the list goes on. They ALL will lose billions of dollars in military contracts. I hope they pull out of Irag as well. We have no business being there. BUSH pulled us in there to avenge his father's name. The attacks of 9/11 were committed by Saudi Arabia. Where OBAMA the MUSLIM KING bows too. Along with BUSH. Who I think he may have had something to do with 9/11. He's part of the deep state and they have shown they will DO ANYTHING to stay in POWER.
