I think I'll wait till something actually happens because I give praise but this would certainly be a rare case of Trump doing something good. Pulling out of Syria wasn't good enough? Do you not understand what the word rare means? Apparently you don't. The Syria thing just happened like yesterday. That's numerous good things happening in quick succession, doesn't seem so rare then does it? Also "good things" is subjective because Trump has been doing good things his entire presidency Dont lose a tooth sucking so hard on that orange --- "This is your last dance." <cite>Blue_Inigo posted [p:914463521] in Trump like...

Additionally, the large wave of Afghan refugees fleeing this chaos will provide cover for these terrorists to move between Afghanistan and the West, as also happened during the height of ISIS. --- [This signature was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator] <cite>Sativa_Rose posted [p:914466009] in Trump like...
