President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the policemen of the world.
We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world, Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Were spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldnt be the priority, he said.
Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.

We know the mission in Venezuela. it is to grab the oil.
What is the mission in Nigeria? To be bodyguard for all the Christians in the world?
That's not what I want MY tax dollars doing.
What is the US vital interest here?

Every justification is a lie.
Thats why he backs down. Distraction mission accomplished.
Note: this is distinct from grift. Laffaire Epstein stands to lose him his entire fortune.

He's not just in the files, but a business partner with JE, in a worldwide sex and blackmail empire? If he denies it, it's true.
His blackmail on the GOP AND USSC fall apart. Who grants him absolute power? A black-robed blackmail victim or 5. 6?
Not passive. Theory: he co-owned the business and had his "business" partner offed.
Mafia rules.
ETA. Left out money laundering. The money trail will get him like Al Capone, who also died of the effects of syphilis.

He wants to be the mafisio of the world. He and his gangland family members.
