I only wish he would have said this in an open forum, or tried to actually force our forces to proceed with his ridiculous plans.
Maybe, maybe .... his Deplorable base would wake-up to the madness (but I wouldn't hold my breath).
He said this constantly during the 2016 campaign. He was always like "WE HAVE TO TAKE THE OIL!"
I guess what I am saying, is that trump would say it as a definitive directive to the Armed Forces (now as President) to proceed with seizing the Iraq nation and their oil fields.
If that were to happen the Senate would more than likely remove him in an impeachment trial.
