Trump plays his base with an act of concern while in the background his only support is for image and his wealthy supporters. One wonders when Americans will wake and 'Make the White House Great Again'? Oh and make America concerned and proud again.

The projects included a $63 million middle school in McConnell’s state of Kentucky, though most of the projects are outside the continental U.S."

Trump is an embarrassment to all those who served and to America.
"Trump was told about the intelligence but had not authorized steps to retaliate, the Times reported."

Now Trump wants a Fox spokesperson fired because they confirmed this information. A draft dodger with a made up excuse for not serving the nation should keep quiet.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...es-losers.html
"Trump called US soldiers killed or injured 'losers' and 'suckers', senior administration sources told the Atlantic
The Atlantic says Trump cancelled a visit a US war grave because he was worried about his hair in the rain
The president was expected to attend a ceremony at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in Paris in 2018
He reportedly asked: 'Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers'
He also allegedly referred to 1,800 Marines who died in the WWI Battle of Belleau Wood in France as 'suckers'
He reportedly asked 'Who were the good guys in this war?'
Trump is also alleged to have said he didn't understand why the US would intervene on the side of the Allies
The president allegedly said those who served in the Vietnam were 'losers' as they failed to dodge the draft
Fox News and the Washington Post have confirmed the reporting, while AP has confirmed part of it
The White House mounted furious pushback, hammering the piece for using anonymous sources
Melania Trump on Friday said the story was false and 'activism'
Trump suggested that John Kelly - who has remained silent on the report - was a source for the 'false' story
Trump also said Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin, who confirmed the Atlantic story, should be fired"

A republican on Donnie John Trump lying. What else is new.
'Everyone Knows It’s True'
"As Trump vehemently disputes reports that he has disparaged veterans, some silences speak loudly."
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...s-true/616138/
“I heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband’s name. And that what’s hurting me the most. Because if my husband was out here fighting for our country, and he risked his life for our country, why can’t you remember his name?” Talking to Trump about her fallen husband, Myeshia Johnson said, “made me upset and cry even more.”
"What is patriotism? Let us begin with what patriotism is not. It is not patriotic to dodge the draft and to mock war heroes and their families. It is not patriotic to discriminate against active-duty members of the armed forces in one's companies, or to campaign to keep disabled veterans away from one's property. It is not patriotic to compare one's search for sexual partners in New York with the military service in Vietnam that one has dodged. It is not patriotic to avoid paying taxes, especially when American working families do pay. It is not patriotic to ask those working, taxpaying American families to finance one's own presidential campaign, and then to spend their contributions in one's own companies. It is not patriotic to admire foreign dictators. It is not patriotic to cultivate a relationship with Muammar Gaddafi; or to say that Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin are superior leaders. It is not patriotic to call upon Russia to intervene in an American presidential election. It is not patriotic to cite Russian propaganda at rallies." Timothy Snyder 'On Tyranny'

Mental illness or insecurity or a lack of education and humility? It is a easy choice as Pres Trump is simply in a position way above his ability. Again I want to mention Hitler as friends have. What was Hitler's appeal? You can answer that, but those who read history know he was incompetent, his decision to invade Russia stupid. Trump like H has a glorified sense of self, but Trump failed in every business venture. Trump has failed as President unless caging children and dividing families while golfing on a bad foot after avoiding military service is an accomplishment. We can give him that.
