1. Thanks to Trump, we and our military will be more and more on our own. Having served, that is a terrible curse...

...for a Commander in Chief to place so stupidly and callously on those he commands. I was in intelligence (yeah I heard that joke) in Europe and we regularly got phone calls from allies giving us a head's up on something we may want to pay attention to for our troops or our country's safety and security. I am very afraid those calls will stop and Americans will pay for Trump's idiocy with their lives.
