Guantanamo Bay Prisoners ‘Being Left at Death’s Door’ by Trump’s New Hunger Strike Policy
16th October 2017
Sounds like a plan.
Look, a ‘hunger strike’ works only if whoever you’re ‘striking’ against can’t afford to let you die.
If that doesn’t apply, a ‘hunger strike’ is only a slow form of suicide.
I suspect that, unlike Obama, Trump really doesn’t give a shit if some jihadist at Gitmo starves himself to death. And I don’t see the people who have been calling him a Nazi and The New Hitler having a lot of influence over him with respect to changing that policy.
So all of the handwringing that will inevitably occur in the DemLegHump Media is just hot air. It worked with previous Establishment politicians, but it won’t work with Trump. This is just another case of the old Crustian playbook not working with someone who is not of the Crust. When will they learn? I suspect never.
