    Default Trump Accused Of “Selling” U.S. Troops To Foreign Countries

    In a recent interview, Donald Trump claimed that he has told other countries that if they want US troops within their borders, they have to start paying us. This immediately prompted backlash from critics claiming that the President is using our soldiers as his own private mercenaries, which apparently isn’t that far from reality.



    I would be so freakin' AWOL before I'd work for the benefit of this slimebag.

    Send Trump's kids to fight for the Saudis!

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    So getting countries to financially assist in their own defense is "selling" our troops? What a massive pile of stupid.

    Trump declares that he likes air and that air is good!

    it's completely detached from reality, US armed forces aren't mercenaries.
    Getting country's to pay for their costs isn't done for that -it's just an offset

    Leftist response:

    Wasn't one of Trump promises that he would bring our troops home. Are the Saudi's at war, do they need our troops? Nope. So yes, he is selling them to the highest bidder.

    That's what it amounts to. Saudis don't want to fight their own War, so 'hire' the American Military.

    Wasn't one of Obama's promises that he would close Guantanamo?

    Wasn't one of Obama's promises you could keep your doctor?

    Wasn't one of Obama's promises that he would cut the deficit in half?

    Yet not one peep from you lying, hypocritical leftist tools when he was President. STFU you whiny dullard.

    Europe doesn't want to fight its wars? Korea doesn't want to fight its wars? What a pile of stupid. We are over there as CHEAP insurance against despots and tyrants. Trump has the brains to ask those nations to help pay for it. Smart move.

    But in Leftist land.......

    You still haven't told us why the Saudi's need our troops. Are they at war? No my dear, he is simply selling them to the highest bidder. I am sure these soldiers would much rather be home with their families, as opposed to living in a tent in the Saudi desert.

    Actually, I am shocked that the USA does no have very clear legislation and policies on this issue, but I guess this type of criminal and mafia tactics were never anticipated.

    WASHINGTON — The Trump administration said Friday it is sending 2,800 more troops, fighter jets and missile defense weaponry to Saudi Arabia to help bolster the kingdom’s defenses after a September attack on its oil facilities.

    Defense Secretary Mark Esper ordered the deployment of additional service members, two fighter squadrons, one air expeditionary wing, two Patriot Missile batteries and one THAAD missile defense system. With the additional deployment announced Friday, Esper said U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia will number approximately 3,000.

    "Saudi Arabia is a longstanding security partner in the Middle East and has asked for additional support to supplement their own defenses and defend the international rules based order," said Esper. "In response to Iranian provocation since May, the U.S. has deployed an array of additional capabilities to the region.
