shipment going through his state. That doesn't mean Trump had to announce it to the world, it just means that the Governor should have been informed. Now he probably couldn't have stopped the shipment, and I doubt that the Gov would have announced it to the world. But some of Trump's actions or non-actions, are things which are done as a simple courtesy. Trump thinks he's a king and can just treat people like they are shit and he can just ignore them. The Governor of Nevada was elected just like Trump and he has a constituency as well. Trump doesn't own the State of Nevada and all it's highways, bridges and interstates. What if there had been an accident during the shipment and it was the state where you live. Wouldn't you want your Governor to know in advance so he can make sure that the movers have all the advance information that they needed to minimize the probability of something going array.

For the record, Las Vegas got snow for the first time that I can recall a few days ago. My son has lived there for about 10 years and it was the first time he could recall getting snow in the southern part of the state. I heard about it on the early morning news here in Georgia, and text him before he was even awake to let him know snow was forecast for that morning in Las Vegas. He hadn't heard about it when he went to bed the night before. I doubt if a truck driver hauling Plutonium cross country said to himself, let me check the weather forecast for Las Vegas now, to see if there is any snow forecast for when I should be arriving from my cross country journey with my load of Plutonium.

It's called common courtesy and the Trump's seem to be the only ones who were never taught it.

I don't think keeping nuclear waste in hundred of random ponds all over the country is a very good Nitram Feb 2019 #14
Or in the ground in old concrete tanks precariously close to a major U.S. river.. Tikki Feb 2019 #16
