Robert Gates: Trump Running in 2024 Would
Present National Security ‘Concern’

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 5/22/2022 7:45:40 PM

Robert Gates, the former Defense Secretary under both the Bush and Obama administrations, said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that former President Donald Trump running for office would present a “concern” for national security. Partial transcript as follows: MARGARET BRENNAN: You’ve said that you’ve been disappointed in Republican leaders for not standing up for traditional Republican values. We just had this awful shooting in Buffalo, New York. Liz Cheney, Congresswoman, said, “House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy and anti-Semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse. Republican leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them.”

Robert “Deep State” Gates’ opinion matters zilch to the American people. Gates was a war monger under Bush with the “surges” that cost Americans lives only to have Obama blow the whole effort. The MSM loves anyone who in never Trump and anti-MAGA. Go away Bob.

Question for Robert Gates: Do you see any national security concerns regarding President Biden's mental capacities and that can be blackmailed into smithereens by Ukraine, Russia and/or China?

Gates Re Jan 6: "I think maybe the best thing to do is just to rerun the videos." Agreed. Run the videos of cops holding doors open and taking selfies w/folks who were then persecuted for trespassing. Rerun the video of cap Cops beating to death a fallen protester. Rerun officer Byrd shooting to death an unarmed Ashley Babbitt. Then run some video of the Sussman trial where witnesses testify that HRC sicked the FBI on the 45th POTUS to prosecute his admin and kneecap his presidency. And they complied. Finally rerun the video of EVERY MSM source blaring faked up russia collusions charges by "unnamed sources" for 4 YEARS. Excellent advice, Gates.

What #4 said, plus: give SPECIFIC examples and/or situations that make you say this. What events transpired when PDJT was in the White House that gives you concern? Contrast his dealing with world leaders with Bidiot and explain how Bidiot is better. I could go on, but why…. Moron.

Sooo...Bobby(you don't mind if I call ya Bobby do ya?), Has Trump "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."? How well do you personally know Trump in comparison to THAT guy you initially said that about? The same quote you stood by as recently as last Nov?

Yes, the entire hidden, globalist, world-government culture of America’s vast, hidden Federal “National Security,” apparatus would almost certainly be exposed for the anti-democratic, republic-destroying cabal it is; in which Secretary Gates has been immersed through his professional life. The American people, of course, their historic rights, economic welfare, traditional culture, childrens’ future and citizen perquisites be damned.

Another example of if President Trump runs and wins in 2024, he must be prepared to bring his people in to all the Executive/Bureaucracies of the Federal Government at 12:01 p.m. on January 21, 2025, prepared to remove all political appointees and those political appointees that were transitioned to civil service (a trick Emperor Obama the First used very often).

The 'Ready for Ron' PAC is led by Ed Rollins, Ronald Reagan's campaign chairman in in 1984, the year he won a landslide victory and cinched 49 states, and Lilian Rodriguez-Baz, an appellate attorney and conservative activist.

Biden kowtows to China by flirting with

Posted by Imright 5/24/2022 12:17:45 AM Post Reply
President Joe Biden implied Monday that he may soon cut tariffs on imports from China, noting, "We did not impose any of those tariffs — they were imposed by the last administration." Reducing tariffs now would be a mistake because of timing and because cutting them does not simply return things to the way they were before the duties were imposed. The signal it sends is different from that. Most economists believe cutting tariffs would provide a negligible benefit in reducing inflation. Supply chain shortages in China, some due to its COVID lockdown policies, reinforce this fact.

'I don't know how you're doing it.'On Saturday, Albanese won Australia's general election over incumbent Prime Minister Scott Morrison. He was sworn-in Monday and jumped on the flight to Japan several hours later for the meeting with the leaders of the U.S., India and Japan. 'Prime Minister Albanese, I welcome you to your first Quad meeting,' Biden said. 'He got sworn-in, got on a plane,' adding how difficult that was coming directly off the campaign trail.
