I'm very concerned about the role that the military is playing in Trump's plans.

For example, the Coast Guard Rear Admiral Peter Brown, who fell on his sword for Trump in the Alabama hurricane nonsense. And the military allowing Trump to raid their funds so he can build his wall. Then the reporting by Natasha Bertrand about the US military propping up the financially failing Turnberry resort by making refueling stops there.

I keep thinking he is setting up a scenario for a coup. Am I over-reacting?

Diagnosis on Netflix. Highly recommended. I couldn't stop watching.

Long story short, a Yale physician brings her NY Times Magazine feature to TV: crowd-sourcing to help diagnose people with rare undiagnosed illnesses. People from all over the world (other doctors, scientists, teachers, students, anyone with an idea) trying to solve one person’s search for answers in each episode.

I am so offended.

Trump spent so much time trashing President Obama during his remarks after the G7. He took every opportunity to criticize him. This is a perfect example of the toddler’s crudity, absence of manners and impropriety. He disgusts me to my core.

His majesty's remarks

Re Macron, “We have a lot in common. We get along well. We have a special friendship”.

Re Kim Jung Un, “We have a lot in common. We get along well. We have a special friendship”.

And over and over again about other world leaders. Never anything of substance. All about HIM. What a vapid, lazy, ignorant man. I’m so tired of him embarrassing the American people.

I am disturbed and frightened and feeling helpless over the extremely unhinged behavior of

he who will not be named, esp. re the Greenland/Danish craziness and his remarks re American Jews So I called all my reps, Republicans and Democrats, and asked them to do something about this man. I urge you to take a few minutes and call your Senators and Congresspersons. Please use your voices to tell them of your concerns! And keep on calling.
