We’ve all heard it. The President is: Insane, Incompetent, Racist, Sexist, Xenophobic and the list goes on and on.
Let’s address insane for the purposes of this post. What is the old cliche definition? “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!”
In fact, President Trump is acting the opposite of insane. He knows the House and Senate want to kick this “border security” can down the road again.
It started long ago and most notoriously with President Reagan. He was promised border security for granting amnesty to around 3 million illegal aliens. See the Immigration Reform Act of 1986.
We not only didn’t get border security but we did get millions of new illegal immigrants! Somewhere between 16 million and 29 million, it’s anyone’s guess.
President Trump was promised by Congressional Leadership that if he signed the 1.3 Trillion Dollar Omnibus Bill he would get the money for the wall and border security before the new Congress took over. He vowed to never do that again.
If he was insane he would take Congress at their word. Nope, he’s not and should not do that again. Correct me if I’m wrong but he can simply not sign anything and tell Congress they have to override him with a Two-Thirds majority!
If Democrats are seriously willing to deal then they can do it with the Republican-held Senate and Democrat-held House.
Oh, I almost forgot. Walls don’t work. That’s why the military uses them so successfully around the world!

He’s not insane. He just doesn’t care about anyone besides himself, veterans included. If you get in the way of something he wants, your screwed. Your nothing but cannon fodder, but the worse part is, you don’t even know it yet.
Hi Frank, It is not about money. President Trump has lost nearly half a billion according to Forbes.
You may feel President Trump is destroying your view of what America should be. Remember, many veterans felt the same about President Obama. One could argue that neither person was prepared to be POTUS. President Obama came across weak as he apologized for America. President Trump comes across like an asshole because he will not apologize for America. You will recover from President Trump just as we recovered from President Obama.
As I grew older I wanted to give back to this great country and specifically my fellow vets. I just started We Who Served to make money to support the veteran community. In addition, I hope to train paralyzed and wounded vets to work in technology this summer. We hope to reduce veteran suicide and loneliness by working together as a community regardless of political views.
You may benefit from reading this. Let us know what you are doing to actually make this a better country. As JFK said: “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.”
There are many fellow veterans in need. Some are simply lonely and could use someone to talk to. Others are struggling with physical demands. Still, others struggle with drugs, alcohol and psychological problems. If you have ideas let us know what we can do to help each other. Regardless of our political differences, you are still a veteran and therefore a brother. I wish you well.
