Bottom line:

Trump had two years of total Republican control of Congress and couldn’t get his wall built.

He waits until he gets his clock cleaned in the midterms, loses control of Congress, to draw his line in the sand.

It just doesn’t get more stupid than that.

This week:
4 US troops died in Syria weeks after Trump falsely declared victory against ISIS
Coast Guard men & women stopped getting paid
Trump gave a partisan speech at the Pentagon

Why does Trump hate the military?

3/ A White House official told CNN that Pelosi and the delegation are welcome to fly *commercial* to Afghanistan. Which is a remarkable statement given that the WH just announced this trip to the world, a violation of all security protocols.

Pelosi wanted to go to Afghanistan. Trump has yet to visit Afghanistan. Maybe, instead of neither person going, both should go? For a thorough visit, much more than a photo op?
