Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

We are governed by a lunatic
Two weeks ago China was in grave economic danger! The very high Tariffs I set made it virtually impossible for China to TRADE into the United States marketplace which is, by far, number one in the World. We went, in effect, COLD TURKEY with China, and it was devastating for them. Many factories closed and there was, to put it mildly, “civil unrest.” I saw what was happening and didn’t like it, for them, not for us. I made a FAST DEAL with China in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation, and I didn’t want to see that happen. Because of this deal, everything quickly stabilized and China got back to business as usual. Everybody was happy! That is the good news!!! The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!

Senator Lindsey Graham on Russia.
Lindsey Graham &*
@LindseyGrahamSC
I appreciate all that President @realDonald Trump has done to try to end this terrible war. But to end any war, you must have willing partners. As of yet, Putin is not willing.
As to Putin: we must remember this is the man who facilitated the Assad Regime in dropping barrel bombs from helicopters on innocent civilians and intentionally targeted hospitals in Syria.
The same barbaric behavior is playing out in Ukraine.
To the Russian people: Putin is leading you into the abyss.
XTens of thousands of Russian soldiers killed and wounded.
X An economy smaller than the size of Italy with more pressure coming.
* Russia is more isolated than ever.
This doesn't make Russia great. It makes it a pariah state.
You, the Russian people and military, can do better.
