Sir, we're out of bullets!

Trump quote: "When I took over our military, we did not have ammunition, I was told by a top general, maybe the top of them all, 'Sir, I'm sorry sir, we don't have ammunition.'”

It’s unclear which “top of them all” General the President is referring to; perhaps General Motors, General Mills, General Electric, maybe General Hospital? These could conceivably be wanting for ammunition, though I struggle a bit to think of why they’d need it in the first place. The President did say “military,” did he not? Hmmm.

Anyway, we all know the President; he can be narcissistic, psychotic, and sociopathic from time to time, and yes, he is a pathological liar with the bonus trait of believing many of his own lies. This is just the way he is, no big deal, and if this scares our allies abroad, so what, it’s America First in this banana republic. Come on already, the President HAS told us repeatedly, time and time again, over and over, many times over, that immediately upon his “taking over the country,” HE commenced the noble task of repairing and rebuilding the military to a state of glory that is far and above that which anyone has ever seen. So, you say that you’ve yet to see or hear anything about this new and improved military, and you don’t know anybody who has. Of course, nobody’s seen it, it’s the military, and the military is CLASSIFIED.

So, if the President says that he re-stocked the military’s inventory of bullets, then that’s what he did. Just like having the biggest inauguration crowd ever, discovering that windmills cause cancer, discovering and revealing that Obama wasn’t born in the US, making us rich by forcing foreign countries to pay his import tariffs, created the best economy ever, revived the steel, coal and automaker industries, uncovered corruption in Ukraine, and, true to his promise to the American People is rapidly building a border wall with Mexico, thereby eliminating the flow of criminals, rapists, drugs and human trafficking into our beloved country.

So damn Obama, his Sex Reassigned Wife, Rosie O’Donnell, John Brennan, Jim Comey, all Democrats (along with their evil spawn,) Michael Cohen, Jeff Sessions, the Liberal Media, and above all, Lyin’, Cheatin’, Godless, Crooked Hilary Clinton for depriving White, Workin’-class, Trump-lovin’, Bible-Totin’, God-fearin’, Confederate-Flag-Flyin’, hard workin’ American Citizens of their 2nd Amendment right to shoot at whatever’s movin’ too fast towards their general location and Our President’s right to shoot anybody he damn well pleases!

"They're Laughing at Us"

Trump again embarrassed himself and his Country, this time at a NATO Summit press conference with Emmanuel Macron. In response to a reporter’s question about the apparent change in the scope of US involvement in the ongoing fight against ISIS in Syria, Turkey, and Iran, Trump asserted, as he has so many times before, that there is no longer an “ongoing fight” because ISIS no longer exists. He went on and on and on, (as he has been known to do) noting that what remained in the region was boarder conflict that was up to the Kurds to work out with Assad and Erdogan. He then boasted that the more than 1,000 ISIS fighters captured by joint US/ Kurdish forces in Syria and Turkey, were “under lock and key” in detention camps located throughout Northern Syria and that US troops previously deployed in the region were repurposed to the oil fields to “protect the oil” from ISIS (which no longer exists) insurgents. Then, in what history will note as a quintessential Sarah Palin foot-in-mouth mo...

The Bloomberg Effect

The economy is strong and the stock markets continue their frenetic upward journeys. This is not very likely to change over the next 10 months, which means that it will prevail at and up to the 2020 Presidential election. What started as a recovery from the worst economic recession since The Great Depression during the 2nd half of Barak Obama’s first term, continued on into the 2016 election, which graced us with Donald Trump as our 45th President, as a full-on Bull Market. His tax cuts on corporate profits laced bull’s feed with copious amounts of amphetamines, which shifted the recovery into hyperdrive. The markets will, as they always do, correct themselves to more appropriate values, but like a speeding train, it takes some time to harness enough gravity for them to slow down. Trump’s economic policy pushed the Financial Markets to levels which far exceed the values of their underlying constituents, giving them much further to fall when the bubble bursts. The challenge is how to c...

Transparency

Transparency Whenever Trump is asked a direct question about Giuliani’s activities vis-a-vis Ukraine, he sidesteps it, immediately squashing the question and redirects into a subject having little to do with the substance of the question itself. In this case, the new subject was a well-honed monologue about his love and admiration for the "Greatest NYC Mayor Ever," sounding more like an NFL coach’s glowing endorsement of his wide-receiver who had just scored the winning Super Bowl touchdown. One can only imagine what kind, and how many layers of dirt the Mayor has on the President!
