So many people think he is their savior or taking a "wait and see attitude". By the time anyone gets their act together we will be in a situation like Russia where they have complete control over the information coming out of there.
The end of the article puts it all together-
In addition to overseeing America’s nuclear weapons, the NNSA also helps secure nuclear material nationwide. Sources told CNN it’s a critical mission, pointing to the Russian drone attack on a Chernobyl power plant reactor in Ukraine on Thursday.
“NNSA maintains sensors in Ukraine to help track nuclear risks, whether intentional or unintentional,” a source said, adding the layoffs are “frightening.”

Time comes when you trim the fat, feed the kitchen scraps to the front seat cat.. bye bye baby when the deals gone through, you might have to give up a jewel or two
Bill Clinton was the last president to have a balanced budget, and I believe he did it for 4 years..
Trump in the other hand added almost 8 trillion to our nations debt and deficit in his first term..Donny and Bush Jr are responsible for the loins share of out deficit increase over that last 25 years, and all because of their massive tax cut for the wealthy..Seem fair too you?
Maybe Slick Willy will come out of retirement and save us from ourselves?

It appears that the US and Russia will meet in Saudi Arabia for peace talks and have decided not to invite the other party (Ukraine) involved in the conflict. The only remaining question is how much is Trump going to concede, capitulate, and surrender to Putin?

Had the same thought too. One hellova way to get a pay raise!
An open letter written by a Florida judge about the CANADA/USA relationships & history.
By Robert Meadows (Circuit Court Judge, Florida).
Here is one American’s take on the growing trade war with the US and Canada.
"Have you ever stopped to consider how lucky we Americans are to have the neighbors we have? Look around the globe at who some folks have been stuck sharing a border with over the past half century:
North Korea / South Korea
Greece / Turkey
Iran / Iraq
Israel / Palestine
India / Pakistan
China / Russia
"We’ve got Canada! Canada. About as inoffensive a neighbor as you could ever hope for. In spite of all our boasts of “American exceptionalism” and chants of “America first,” they just smile, do their thing and go about their business. They are on average more educated, have a higher standard of living, free health care, and almost no gun problems. They treat immigrants respectfully and already took in over 35,000 Syrians in the last two years.
"They’re with us in NATO, they fought alongside us in World War I, World War II, Korea, the Gulf War, the Bosnian War, Afghanistan, the Kosovo War and came to our defense after 9/11. There was that one time when Canada took a pass on one of our wars: Vietnam. Turned out to be a good call.
"They’ve been steady consumers of American imports, reliable exporters of metals and petroleum products (they are the biggest importer of U.S. products from 37 states), and partnered with NASA in our space missions.
"During 9/11 many aircraft were diverted to Newfoundland, an island province off Canada's east coast where Americans were housed in people's homes for two weeks and treated like royalty. In return for their hospitality, this administration slapped a 20% tariff on the products of Newfoundland's only paper mill, thereby threatening it's survival.
"And what do Canadians expect of us in return? To be respected for who and what they are: Canadians. That’s what I call a good neighbor.
"But the King of Chaos couldn’t leave well enough alone. Based on his delusions of perpetual victimhood, out of the clear blue, he’s declared economic war on Canada. On CANADA! And he did it based on Canada being a national security risk to the US! For no good reason, other than the voices in his head that told him it was a war he could win. So why not do it, then?
"Again, we’re talking about Canada. Our closest ally, friend and neighbor.
"On behalf of an embarrassed nation, people of Canada, I apologize for this idiotic and wholly unnecessary attack. Please leave the back channels open. We the People of progressive persuasion stand with you."
By Robert Meadows (Circuit Court Judge, Florida).

Yup pretty on point. One correction is that Canada entered WW2 years before the US, so we joined them technically as we were also waffling with eugenics and fascism
