This is the kind of stuff this moron should not be tweeting. Crikes, he really needs a filter.

Iran is rapidly taking over more and more of Iraq even after the U.S. has squandered three trillion dollars there. Obvious long ago!
What the heck is he talking about...

Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!
A 7 year having a temper tantrum trapped in the body of a 70 year old. 4 more years.
lol at "thousands". I think it's about 1,200 and they are not taking them for nothing, it is a trade for Central American refugees who are trying to get into the USA.

It's another thing to lose your job because declining taxation has made infrastructure spending prohibitively expensive, eliminating your role as labourer or specialized trade or civil professional.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 for example cost the country millions of jobs and not just in the defense sector but across other programs like medicaid as well.
The US economy lives and dies on public dollars.

“For hospitals, like most businesses, labor constitutes the largest cost of providing services,” Feldbush said.
In 2013, public hospitals alone generated more than $165 billion in “economic activity for their respective state economies” and contributed more than 1.25 million jobs, America’s Essential Hospitals said.
A highly publicized report last week from the Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University and the Commonwealth Fund said 2.6 million people could lose their jobs in 2019 alone if the ACA is repealed . The jobs lost would occur in all 50 U.S. states and rise to “nearly 3 million positions in healthcare and other sectors,” including real estate, construction, finance and insurance, by the year 2021.
CNN says they got an excerpt of the transcript of the call with Mexico, whereas the AP story was based on a readout written by aides. Certainly sounds less hostile.
According to an excerpt of the transcript of the call with Peña Nieto provided to CNN, Trump said, "You have some pretty tough hombres in Mexico that you may need help with. We are willing to help with that big-league, but they have be knocked out and you have not done a good job knocking them out."
Trump made an offer to help Peña Nieto with the drug cartels.
The excerpt of the transcript obtained by CNN differs with an official internal readout of the call that wrongly suggested Trump was contemplating sending troops to the border in a hostile way.
The Associated Press report said Trump threatened to send US troops to stop criminals in Mexico unless the government did more to control them, but both the US and Mexican governments denied details from the story.
Sources described the AP's reporting as being based upon a readout -- written by aides -- not a transcript.
Just five days after taking office, over dinner with his newly installed secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, President Trump was presented with the first of what will be many life-or-death decisions: whether to approve a commando raid that risked the lives of American Special Operations forces and foreign civilians alike.
President Barack Obama’s national security aides had reviewed the plans for a risky attack on a small, heavily guarded brick home of a senior Qaeda collaborator in a mountainous village in a remote part of central Yemen. But Mr. Obama did not act because the Pentagon wanted to launch the attack on a moonless night and the next one would come after his term had ended.
With two of his closest advisers, Jared Kushner and Stephen K. Bannon, joining the dinner at the White House along with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., Mr. Trump approved sending in the Navy’s SEAL Team 6, hoping the raid early last Sunday would scoop up cellphones and laptop computers that could yield valuable clues about one of the world’s most dangerous terrorist groups. Vice President Mike Pence and Michael T. Flynn, the national security adviser, also attended the dinner.
As it turned out, almost everything that could go wrong did. And on Wednesday, Mr. Trump flew to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to be present as the body of the American commando killed in the raid was returned home, the first military death on the new commander in chief’s watch.

In this case, the assault force of several dozen commandos, which also included elite soldiers from the United Arab Emirates, was jinxed from the start. Qaeda fighters were somehow tipped off to the stealthy advance toward the village — perhaps by the whine of American drones that local tribal leaders said were flying lower and louder than usual.
Through a communications intercept, the commandos knew that the mission had been somehow compromised, but pressed on toward their target roughly five miles from where they had been flown into the area. “They kind of knew they were screwed from the beginning,” one former SEAL Team 6 official said.
With the crucial element of surprise lost, the Americans and Emiratis found themselves in a gun battle with Qaeda fighters who took up positions in other houses, a clinic, a school and a mosque, often using women and children as cover, American military officials said in interviews this week.
The commandos were taken aback when some of the women grabbed weapons and started firing, multiplying the militant firepower beyond what they had expected. The Americans called in airstrikes from helicopter gunships and fighter aircraft that helped kill some 14 Qaeda fighters, but not before an MV-22 Osprey aircraft involved in the operation experienced a “hard landing,” injuring three more American personnel on board. The Osprey, which the Marine Corps said cost $75 million, was badly damaged and had to be destroyed by an airstrike.
No doubt some kind of idiotic "Alpha Male" garbage, trying to show how strong or dominant he is.
I've also heard that he wants to do away with the handshake altogether because of the Ebola virus. No kiddin'.
Funny that he does it to a guy he just gave a lifetime position to though. He probably thinks can hire and fire these people like he's on a reality show or something and wants to show him who's boss.
