Why should anyone believe Trump about his statements on Project 2025? He has no crediblity, zero. He claims he hasn't read it, then says "there are some good things in there and some bad"... JD Vance has written introductions to some of the essays. Trump has already stated that he plans to do away with the Department of Education.
He cannot be trusted to be truthful.
Re: Kamala whopper lie about Trump and Project 2025
Since we're trading "whoppers" -- here's a new one from Trump.... Harris is talking about bringing back the military draft. Completely false. Blatant lie. The Trump campaign has ignored requests for proof/evidence of Harris saying anything like that. Zero credibility.
He also recently posted "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" on social media. Such maturity.
Re: Kamala whopper lie about Trump and Project 2025
The Senate Armed Services Committee’s version of the defense policy bill would make registering for military conscription automatic for all citizens between the ages of 18 and 26. The House passed its version of the bill last month that would automatically register men with the Selective Service, which they are already legally required to do. The Senate Armed Services Committee wants to expand automatic registration to include women. Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), chairman of the committee, spearheaded the proposal. The committee’s version of the Defense bill is now headed to the Senate floor for debate. (FY2025)
And like I said, conscription has been being discussed for awhile now.
The draft's resurgence into the national conversation in the United States and elsewhere marks a reversal of a decades-old trend.
“A return of conscription stands in stark contrast to the dominant conception of the future of warfare, which has largely centered on the rise of machines. In this vision, with advances in artificial intelligence and the proliferation of unmanned systems—on land, at sea, and in the air—militaries could get by with fewer, albeit more technically savvy, service members. That forecast has become reality—but only as it applies to technology, not staffing needs. As the wars in Ukraine and Gaza prove, drones of all types are a staple of the modern battlefield, with even second-tier terrorist groups like the Houthis rolling out their own versions of these weapons. But while war may have shifted to more unmanned systems, this trend has not reduced the demand for soldiers.
What the freak do you think is gonna happen if National Security intelligence learns of an attack or invasion coming from a Country of strength? Do you know what it means to mobilize Selective Service?
None of the military branches have met their recruitment numbers!
WWI and WW2 was fought elsewhere, what if it came to our shores?
China already has access (through land purchase) to ground around many of our major military bases.
Trump didn’t reveal the source and at this point, I would not believe a denial even if offered from Harris.
Congress has discussed it.
Congress Debates Expanded Draft Amid Military Recruitment Challenges
No Blu - none of what you post, say, infer disputes what I said. Trump made this statement as a scare tactic at his rally and it is a lie, period. Here's his exact words:
Speaking at a campaign rally in Las Vegas on September 13th, Trump said: "Does anybody want to get drafted in the audience?"
The question was met with boos. He then went on to say: "Because that's what they're doing. She's already talking about bringing back the draft. She wants to bring back the draft, and draft your child, and put them in a war that should never have happened."
Trump did not clarify the war he was referring to. Additionally, policy proposals and issues published on Kamala Harris' campaign site have no mention of a draft.
Re: Kamala whopper lie about Trump and Project 2025
Blu, the democrats say we are overly funded in our military. Our next wars won't take so many boots on the ground. We can kill the enemy from thousands of miles away. We don't need to put our people in harm's way.
Trump pulled that comment out of the air again. I wish he would stick to facts.
Promises Made, Promises Kept! Republicans stood, the liberal left wept.
