Trump: "You don't take a nation that's 10x s your size." [View all]

So, that's Trump's latest comment, presumably about Ukraine vs Russia.

I'm here to say, how in the hell did the Right think that Trump would make a good war leader? He talks tough and gets away with it because he has our military power as leverage. But he did nothing to build its reputation. And the minute he gets pushback, he buckles and just goes down the hierarchy to kick the next guy in the face to act big. He's an actor with a mean streak.
