when he spoke about nukes? "Why, if we have so many, we never use them?"
At the time, he acted like he knew close to absolute zero about nukes. Like
he had been on an island and didn't know the war was over.
Can just picture conversation with Vlad "Huh, map of power plants? You need them to help build me a hotel in Moscow? Sure, I can get that ! " Hmmm...and then he puts dipshit Rick Perry in charge of Energy??
Hope not true, but think Trump may turn out to be the biggest traitor in US history.

it feels like we are so helpless to do anything except in the long term (elections)
