29. What a waste of taxpayer dollars...

Tue Feb 6, 2018, 09:25 PM

Feb 2018

Absolutely no reason to do, or rationale in doing. I thought that tRUMP said to not provide critical information to potential adversities of one's military forays? Marching them in plain view isn't sure helpful. Besides, what are you really proving to anyone? That your ***** is biggest than anyone's else?

Tin pot dictators have done this for decades, and now tRUMP?
