Yes. Another greatness.
Americans are joining their Armed Forces in record numbers and America isn't even at War.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away!

Yesterday, upon the forum,
I met a wanker who wasn't making sense!
He wasn't making sense again today,
I wish, I wish he'd stop wanking!

(Apologies to Mearns)

Hegseth holds the rank of Major, he served in Iraq and Afghanistan and received two Bronze Stars and two Army Commendation medals. Why would you say that?.

Trump is a star. The US is a star.
'A red giant is a large, cool, aging star that has puffed up after running out of core hydrogen, while a white dwarf is the dense, hot, Earth-sized stellar core left behind after a red giant sheds its outer layers, marking the end for stars like our Sun. Stars evolve to red giants, leaving a white dwarf that slowly cools into a black dwarf.'

US is orange in 2026.
