Our fearless leader

Well, he is off to Florida for the 17th time to play golf. He is being criticized for these junkets and the cost to the taxpayers of them. But, think about it. Would you rather have him playing golf or playing president?

Before he left, this master of pomposity took time to apprise us of his incredible military accomplishments. You may recall during the campaign his statements that he knew more about Iraq than the generals and that our military had been devastated and was practically useless. Yesterday he praised our great great military for their fantastic accomplishments in the last eight weeks. It's the same military with the same equipment as during the campaign. And what where these great accomplishments? A bombing of an air Field in Syria that did minimal damage and dropping a bomb in Afghanistan that killed 36 Isis militants. He still has no apparent middle East, far East or Russia strategies nor has he done anything to create an effective coalition among our allies in the Middle East. In other words, he has done practically nothing except praise himself for his nonexistent accomplishments. It is difficult to watch him speak. Is this rambling self-centered incompetent really our president?

On the domestic front, his latest outrage is to threaten that he will cause the government to default on its obligations to provide federal funding necessary so that our citizens will continue to have Health care under the affordable care act. He characterizes this as some sort of a clever let's make a deal ploy to cause Democrats to vote for some undefined health care plan he is conjuring up. You will recall that his campaign promise was less expensive and better health care for everyone. Apparently his new plan is healthcare for those who get it as part of their employment compensation and those who are independently wealthy and too bad for the rest of you. He needs to be relentlessly bombarded with criticism including making him an object of ridicule. In other words, CNN, MSNBC and the  rest need to be replaced with 24 hour a day Saturday Night Live.

Additionally, he claims to be somehow cleverly foisting the job of  solving the North Korea problem on China, in lieu of some undefined trade deal. This guy's delusions never cease.
