He cut their funding but they're doing their job. I have lots of Coasties in my family.

Trump undermines own border goals by gutting Coast Guard

1. He is just so, so stupid!

Seriously, does he dress himself and tie his own shoe laces? You just have to wonder. He cannot be removed from office soon enough.

2. He better not think of building a wall on any of

our beaches here on the Central Coast

5. It will be another flip-flop

He's doing an about-face on a lot of the crazy stuff Bannon wanted.
Wait and see, I'll bet Kushner talks him out of it.

Rachel has a lot of good insights into national defense and military matters.

6. protecting the boarders runs counter to Trump's goal

above all else, Trump's inner circle desires a hostile invader committing a terrorist attack in the USA early enough in his presidency that he can blame it on Obama

7. I don't think he has any idea what is in his budget. He is ignorant regarding policies and details.

He is the epitome of a figurehead. He wants to sign things, meet people and bark orders in between his real priorities: watching TV and golfing. He is probably the dumbest man yet to be president and he couldn't care less because he has zero intellectual curiosity and self-awareness.

8. Huh

What the HUH??

[world wide wally]

9. Forget the borders. What about all the boaters and ships in trouble at sea too?

Beached whales? Dolphins? Seals? All the public service the CG performs?
