22. Not a fan of TACO

If Trump says he is going to do something we don’t want him to do or we find outrageous and he doesn’t do it but rather changes his mind for any reason, shouldn’t we celebrate the win?

In other news, I am hearing the Iran was forcing women and children at gun point to surround the power plants, bridges, and other important infrastructure. That is beyond horrible. I don’t think Trump could take out anything under those conditions. It is good that he didn’t move forward and kill the people Iran in harms way.

Back to TACO, if he always chickens out and doesn’t do anything, then why is everyone so upset? You can’t have it both ways. Either he does stuff or he doesn’t. If he is a do nothing place holder, then what is all the fear about him doing anything when the TACO crowd says he never follows through?
