...preceded by the realization that calling the meeting may not have been a good idea.



Which might surprise those trained to think, speak, act -- and lead -- under pressure...



Who may wonder in awe as to what kind of weaponry the Kremlin has to install an imbecile in the Oval Office who wants the audience to think he's the reincarnation of Patton but he's really channeling Oskar Dirlewanger...

They will never be his cheerleaders.

The notion of political neutrality and political non-interference with the military, the treasury, DOJ, FBI, or any other agency, like the labor relations board, is an idea the 47 regime rejects and violates as a matter of course.
