No you didn’t, liar.

Here, you say Trump has the war in “the jaws of victory”. Just days after he started this stupid war.

And here, you lay out the specific criteria for which you’d be “extremely critical of Trump’s failure”:

Well? You’ve been pretty much silent for months.

Face it. You were really, really dumb, and you refuse to admit it. You’d rather _lie_ than admit how stupid you were. You never remotely said “there’s a good chance Trump loses interest after a few days” - in fact, just a few days in, you were already declaring Trump had the war in “the jaws of victory”!

You’re just a dumbass using lies to cover up your stupidity. Just another internet liar.
