4. A date is not a time stamp - we're looking for the time at which #45 said it he could eliminate ISIS

in 30 days..

2. Yes, timestamp please. And just the opposite has happened.

To all those stupid people who voted for this clown, you so don't rock!

For the family of the navy seal killed in the line of duty in Don tRump's DISASTEROUS RAID in Yemen, we say sorry for your loss. 30 - 60 others killed also, and a $72 M V-22 Osprey lost. And a person acting out in total disregard, making the decision to send our soldiers into harms way over dinner. This guy has no business being in the position he is in.

People are already dying. More to come I'm sure.

5. it's at 8:30 ish

But he doesn't not exactly say "30 days once he takes office", he has says he'll convene all his great generals and then give them 30 days to come up with a plan (you know, like a "reality" TV competition show, like Survivior or Hell's Kitchen). He talks about ISIS, Iraq, and Iran at several different points during the video...and then he gets distracted mid sentence by Hilary, or Obama, or that "horrible John Kerry". I suggest that we use his own words against him whenever possible.

6. Yes, but we need to take care to use his words accurately . . .

Saying he would give generals 30 days to come up with a plan to eliminate ISIS is a far cry from saying he would eliminate ISIS within 30 days. And while Trump's people are, in the main, fact-averse, you can bet they will jump all over anybody who shares your post as being dishonest.

We, on the left, do ourselves no favors when we mirror the worst practices of the right.

9. Yes indeed.

I agree with you.

[markpkessinger]

7. That isn't what he said . . .

. . . he said he would give generals 30 days to come up with a plan to eliminate ISIS. That's a far cry from saying he would eliminate ISIS within 30 days. I point this out not to defend Trump, but because if people read your post and share it without listening to the entire clip, they will be dismissed as spreading false and inaccurate information. Trump and his people may be fact-averse when the facts are not in their favor, but you can bet they would jump all over this in a heartbeat.

We, on the left, do ourselves no favors when we engage in the worst practices of the right.
