mentioned on various shows such as Rachel and Lawrence O'Donnell he is cozying up to tyrants.

Putin, Erdogan turkey's leader, Duterte, and Saudi Arabia, those are the dictators he wishes to be.

oops I can't see that tweet.

I'm thinking of all the ones who he assured us on Memorial Day would be so "proud" of what his administration has accomplished. I agree, it is pretty amazing what Trump has done. In less than two years he has virtually shredded the bonds America has with its traditional allies, from Canada to the UK to France. Throw in strategic newer ones like Germany and Japan and he is really on a roll, working to reverse the democratic gains that Americans have fought and died for.

He is robbing the deepest meaning from the sacrifices our veterans, both living and dead, have made.

He uses the military as a photo op and a toy to show how "powerful" he is. Despicable indeed.

expedient. You would think that they could see through him, but most of them don't.
