I am never comfortable regarding Trump's infatuation with Generals. The military is a colossal bureaucracy. I think it is because Trump is a little boy, and a fascist who sees Generals and police as tough guys to control those "others" who pay rent, and shit in porcelain toilets. It was great wisdom having limits on the military submitting to civilian government; and not vice-versa. Obviously, there are plenty of ex-military who are not corrupt and respect the responsibility to be civil and enforce the existing laws with justice; and can do a good job. But recall David Patraeus, another favorite of Trump rumored to be another appointment; and how did work out? Or Ollie North? This is a slippery fucking slope. The silence about it is disturbing.

>>Trump is now in a pissing match with both China and Russia.<< We're all watching Trump, and regarding him as the main threat, but both of these countries are our adversaries, and one is an economic competitor. I'm sure they're watching Trump too, professionally evaluating him, determining how to exploit him. Russia may already be exploiting him. That this frail man-baby is allowed to be president is an indictment of Republicans.

Trump is now in a pissing match with both China and Russia. Nah. Trump is too white for Chinese piss. He prefers Caucasian Russians. Must taste like vodka, without the alcohol. The taste of global white privilege. Technically and scientifically speaking, he is in a dick battle with China. I'm throwing a softball to the forum, here.
