4. More "risk to national security" bullshit.

He says we need Greenland for national security. We need Canada for national security. We need Panama for national security. We need to send immigrants to detention camps for national security. We need to punish critics of the President and his friends for national security.

Meanwhile, we make military plans over unsecured communications, we let kids with no security clearances and past records of malfeasance into the most sensitive areas of our government, including nuclear facilities, we appoint people who couldn't pass a background check to work at Dairy Queen to high level positions, we fire people who have extensive knowledge of our government secrets so they will be vulnerable to espionage attempts, we keep top secret information and communications at a fucking golf club where all kinds of nefarious characters can walk in and see them, and we hold secret unrecorded phone calls with the leaders of our greatest military enemies.
