The United States has NEVER taken "spoils" in any war we've ever fought. Trump is colossally ignorant.
Some guy (ex-military) was saying "Trump says what he says" but here's the way I see it... Basically he's agreeing with Trump without agreeing with how he says it. You're correct saying "Take the oil" is stupid. But in reality we did take the spoils in wars but getting contracts with that new country. Which Trump did mention yesterday...he's just such a buffoon and clown he has no clue how to properly speak. He's a NY bleep and a world stage.
