Thread Name: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III
Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III
Yesterday I watched this TV show for only the second time. As it happens this episode was about spending intentions of Biden compared with Trump, including military spending, and one of the comments was that Trump has made no statements about his spending intentions or his political aims in his campaign speeches.

(Note: I suspect that his only intention in getting re-elected is to grant himself some pardons and do some damage to those he considers to be his political enemies.)

The info about the show is: "PBS Washington Week with The Atlantic is the longest-running primetime news and public affairs program on television. The show features a group of journalists participating in a weekly roundtable discussion of major news events. Moderated by Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic."

The episode I saw yesterday shows it as a preview now but the full episode should become available soon - I expect:

Episode overview:

"U.S. Retaliation Amid Middle East Chaos:

"Earlier this week, President Biden told reporters that he has decided how the U.S. will respond to the Iran-backed militia drone attack that killed three American soldiers in Jordan on Sunday. The Biden administration has made it clear that the U.S. does not want war with Iran, as any plans to retaliate could further escalate tensions in the Middle East.

"It’s unclear if the mounting foreign conflicts will spill over into the voting booth as Americans head for a potential Biden-Trump rematch this November.

"Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss this and more:
