Trump admits that he doesn’t listen to anyone about anything. This is mostly a fact. He appears to listen to Steven Miller, another Breitbart extremist, and Wilbur Ross, another close associate of Vladimir Putin, but he ignores John Kelly, his Chief of Staff, and Jim Mattis, the Secretary of Defense.

It is being reported that Trump has pushed Mattis aside in discussions about North Korea and Iran. Once again, I couldn’t make this s**t up. The Secretary of Defense is not involved in decisions regarding national defense. Who is this f**king moron behind the Resolute Desk?

Does anyone but me remember when Trump boasted that “I know more than the generals?” Apparently that’s the truth; he is ignoring the two on his staff; Kelly and Mattis.

Let’s take a look at Trump’s idiocy, and his lack of knowledge about virtually everything.

Trump blindsided Mattis and the Pentagon by saying that he wants to create a “space force.” Not only is this idea moronic, it could not happen without multiple and lengthy steps by the Pentagon and congress.

This year our military has a budget of approximately 640 billion dollars. History proves that at least $320 billion of their funding will go to waste. Add another branch of the military and the budget will rise well above one-trillion dollars, and 500 billion would go to waste.

Most importantly, this is unnecessary. Trump simply wants to be able brag about something he has accomplished in his pathetic and destructive presidency.

Trump has added one person to his list of close advisers, and promoted another. John Bolton was laughed out of Washington years ago, and was forced to become a contributor to the right wing propaganda machine; FOX Noise. He is a war monger at the highest level.

Mike Pompeo was promoted to Secretary of State. This is laughable because this position has been awarded to one of our nation’s greatest diplomats in the past. Pompeo is another well-known right wing hawk.

Our government is dysfunctional, but Trump’s White House is even more sloppy and disorganized.

We need to be rescued, and we can select those who will save us. Vote old, white men out of office. If a candidate has an “R” next to his or her name, vote for their opponent. We desperately need change.

Please tell your friends about my blog and about my truths; thank you.
