      He’s bluffing. He is not going to risk the mid elections over… exactly over what?

    4. Weeks? Hah, we’re going to get bogged down there for years before cutting our losses and exiting the region. I’m so tired of winning!

    5. You can bet your portfolio that there will be a full scale, boots on the ground, military operation before the elections… That’s if they’re not canceled.

    6. I feel like the stock market will crash, then some unknown buy everything, then the clown will go out and say we have got a peace deal, a big one, a great one, and everything is over.

      What will happen is Trump will say they’re going to make a deal. And right about then he’ll send troops in.
