Looks like he's going to be out of the USA for like 5 days, galivanting around the far East. Trade talks, I suppose. But, what about the East Wing? What about the shutdown? What about paying Federal Workers?
I see he's also sending an aircraft carrier to the Caribbean? Is he going to start his little land war while he's out of the country?
This looks bad, it seems to me. It also makes no sense. But, I guess that's normal for /Trump.

(53,540 posts)was in his dictator's playbook. He tried harassing and needling other countries, but that didn't work, so he created a faux enemy in the Caribbean. Apparently he thought a military conflict would solidify his power while also satisfying his blood lust. So he sets everything in motion and takes off to Asia.
I think he's breaking records for destroying an established democracy.
