Heres what we know so far, the Trump Administration looking to choke their Administration Even further. More attacks on u. S. Drones, and that conversation dominating the sunday show yesterday. Im not looking for war, and if there is, there will be obliteration like youve never seen before. You cant have a Nuclear Weapon. There will be new sanctions.

Its a disgrace what theyve said. They cant call our country and people garbage. You just cant talk about our country that way. And when people are angry at them i fully understand it.
