Ex-GOP Lawmaker Tears Into 'Coward' Trump For Threatening Allies
HuffPost
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) shared an intriguing theory Thursday about why the president is only threatening nations that don't pose a threat to the U.S.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) called out President Donald Trump during an appearance Thursday on CNN for threatening America’s allies, and wagered Trump is only doing so because he’s “scared” of confronting America’s actual potential enemies instead.
“Here’s the reason, by the way, that Donald Trump threatens our allies and not people that really deserve threats … because he’s small, he’s scared, he’s a coward, and you can threaten your friends because you know you’re not going to start a war over it, and it makes you look really tough,” said Kinzinger.
“If you tweet in all caps and then you threaten Panama, it makes you look like you’re ready to go to war, and tough,” he added. “But he doesn’t say much about Iran, he’s pretty quiet on that, certainly Russia, and China he’s been quiet on lately, because there’s a reality with that.”
Trump had yet to be inaugurated when he floated taking over the Panama Canal and using military force to do so. The U.S. military has since been ordered to draft up options for an increased presence there, two U.S. officials told NBC News on Thursday.
Trump, who has also imposed tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico that economists warn will affect U.S. consumers the most, added Greenland to his list of potential new U.S. land in January — and recently cast doubt over Denmark’s centuries-old claim to the territory.
