It’s officially on. Breitbart News, with former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon back in charge, is ripping mad at US President Donald Trump after Monday’s Afghanistan speech foreshadowed an increase in ground troops.
The homepage of the website that cheered Trump to victory had five incredibly critical headlines. The accompanying articles might be even tougher. Here are key excerpts from the stories:
Article 1: “The speech was a disappointment to many who had supported his calls during the campaign to end expensive foreign intervention and nation-building.”
Article 2: “Using many of the same vague promises that previous presidents had used, including a repeat of [former US president Barack] Obama’s promise not to give a ‘blank check’ to Afghanistan and a pledge to finally get tough on Pakistan, it was a far cry from the ‘America First’ foreign policy he laid out in the months before Election Day.”
Article 3: “This isn’t about changing his perspective on the war. POTUS is a remarkably astute and stubborn individual. This was about the swamp getting to him.”
Article 4: “I voted for Donald Trump because he promised change. I may have made a mistake.”
Article 5: “In Donald Trump’s old gambling houses, no player doubled down on a six. In Donald Trump’s White House, the president looks to double down on his soft hand in Afghanistan. That’s a bad bet.”
