Sure, everybody knows that the only way to prevent World War III is to spend half your day watching cable news and getting mad at it, and the other half of your day whining about how unfairly you're being treated.

Trump is the only anti-war candidate in any party.

The Democrats have admitted that they rig their primary, so RFK Jr. has zero chance.

You know who else could sit there doing nothing useful while not being pro-war? Literally any inanimate object.

We were talking about anti-war candidates for the presidency, but hey, changing the subject to a non-sequitur? Yeah, good move when there's no answer.

It's not a non-sequitur at all. It doesn't matter what Donald Trump believes, it matters what he can do.

And what he can do is... jack shit. He spent four years watching TV and Tweeting about how unfairly the world treats him, while at the same time not building a wall, not locking her up, not banning travel from the Middle East, not banning trans people from the military, not even being able to order the military to hold a parade.

Every single one of his "accomplishments" just boil down to writing his name at the bottom of something Mitch McConnell did.

The idea that he could "prevent" World War III is laughable. Sure, he won't start it, because he can't start anything. But remind me, did the Americans start the first two World Wars?

So, let's hear about those other anti-war candidates in any other party.

There aren't any. So obviously derail the discussion. I get it, it's in your handbook.

There are no competent anti-war candidates in any party. Therefore, there is currently no American in a position to prevent World War III. If it happens, it happens, and we are not sufficiently organized to do anything about it.

Your logical fallacy is...moving the goalposts fallacy!

Haven't moved them an inch, friend. The goalposts have always been "can Donald Trump prevent World War III."

You can't prevent World War III by Tweeting "I'm not a fan of war." It also requires things like a plan and basic competence. Believe it or not.

Nah, I said who was the only anti-war candidate in either party.

But come on, everyone knows what everyone is doing here.
