so proud of Donald.
as you say, he means to destroy the power in washington, thereby putting the power back in the hands of the strong, powerful, dynamic and entrepreneurial american people.
i suppose washington will suffer
the washington hangers-on will suffer
the intellectual elite will be side-lined
those sucking on washingtons titties will be weaned off and have a little sook.
all in all, its just the most brilliant news i have ever heard .
Oh, I know. Mr Trump wants to cut health, education and welfare to increase the military.
One for the people, eh?
Quote:US President Donald Trump has said he is seeking a "historic increase" in military spending of more than 9 per cent to be funded by cuts elsewhere in government.
Mr Trump will seek to boost Pentagon spending by $US54 billion ($70 billion) in his first budget proposal and slash the same amount from non-defence spending, including a large reduction in foreign aid, a White House budget official said.
The President does not have the final say on federal spending.
His plan to ramp up military spending is part of a budget proposal to Congress, which, while it is controlled by his fellow Republicans, will not necessarily follow his plans.
Mr Trump told state governors at the White House that his budget plan included a "historic increase in defence spending to rebuild the depleted military of the United States of America".

you would like trump to be a touchy feely sensitive type of guy. you seem to get upset because trump pulls off a few dodgy deals, is a bit sly, is "rat cunning"
you would prefer him to be a bit of a plodder, a bit more methodical and beige, a bit like a highly paid 'civil servant", a bit cautious and more prone to naval gazing and consultation.
i admit, he is not your stereotypical politician.
But we must ask oursleves , whats best for "america". whats best for the "american family".
i would like you to go read the "art of war" and robert greens "48 laws of power".
If trump is sneaky, devious , cunning, wheels and deals and gets ahead by whatever means neccessary, then thats simply the best way to "play the game".
other nations are very "machievelian" and only interested in advancing their own position, by whatever means neccessary. if trump seeks to throw out the rule book, at least this now puts america on an equal footing.
can you imagine the outcry if the USA started building islands in the south china sea and weaponising them. yet we accept this from the chinese because the chinese are just, well, pretty ruthless.
And if trump is a bit ruthless and cunning and out foxes them, then he is using all those business skills to "beat them at their own game"
he is far more likely to be successful at this then a career civil servant like Obama or a career intellectual like Hilary.
and , in the end, success is what the american people are used to and what they vibe with. they adore a winner and will not tolerate a loser
