Jul 2018

Since the Marshall plan after WW2, we have helped rebuild all those Countries, provided Military protection while they poured money into their countries.

Germany signed that billion dollar contract giving those billions to Russia while refusing to pay to protect their own countries.

Our Country is falling apart while we still pay for their protection.

So guys have at me. This is the only thing I agree with Trump on except unfair tariffs. China is the biggest one.

Trump may be a Bull in a China Shop, but he is objecting to the things people have been complaining about since the 1980’s.

Democrats need to think long and hard about these things. It is why so many voted for Trump.

On Promised Health care Trump is a total failure.
