Or I guess more accurately-- Trump Tweets....
Up until now Trump has been pretty quiet about Guantanamo. That ended in the wee hours of the morning today.
" 122 vicious prisoners, released by the Obama Administration from
Gitmo, have returned to the battlefield. Just another terrible decision! "
So where does one start when you are dealing with a lunatic? I guess with the facts.
First, the total number of men released by the Obama administration is 161. For Trump to suggest that 80% of the men released by Obama have "returned" to the battlefield is ludicrous.
Second, 96% of the men held at Guantanamo were never on a battlefield.
Finally (for now- because I will get back to this) what my military considers to be the "battlefield" is an ever expanding view- men who publicly condemn and protest my government and its policies are considered to be on the battlefield. The battlefield is public opinion.
Trump is a dangerous person but unfortunately he is not the only dangerous person in this here country of mine.
