The hypocrisy is explained by IOKIYAR.

Why they do what they do is explained by a mixture of greed for power and money, patriarchy, and general disdain for "others".

All wrapped up in compassionate conservatism.

What will be even more of a sign is if they start buying from other countries than the US. I'm sure BAE or MBDA have plenty of smart engineers that could figure out how to interconnect their products to license-built F-15s (if they haven't done so already).

When the ghostwriter for "Art of the Deal" wanted 50% of the royalties, Trump agreed without even countering. Typically ghostwriters are paid a fixed fee of a few thousand to a few tens of thousands of dollars. The ghostwriter got rich from what he made from that book alone. Trump is not a good negotiator.

Make them keep that obsolete POS. It hasn't been maintained for 50 years. It probably would not survive being towed to an American Navy base and if it did, its full of Asbestos and toxics that would cost a fortune to clean up. North Korea stole it so they have to deal with that mess.

I'm still holding on to my hope that Stephen Hawking didn't die but figured out how to get to the sane universe and now he's finalizing his plan to come back for the rest of us. But I'll take The Doctor rescuing us if he gets here first.

'We are taking care of a very big problem for the world' says Trump after Kim summit

He had developed "a special bond" with Kim, he said, after spending four hours with him at the Capella hotel, and between them, "We are taking care of a very big problem for the world".

Wow. Turns out that multiple marriages and bankruptcies were the negotiating tool needed to win over North Korea? I can see how no-one managed to make that leap of faith up to now. Also makes sense why 'President' Bush was the guy to sort out Saddam Hussein too. His career of middling corporate failure and personal irresponsibility was the key to defeat that dictator.

Yep. You guys won't be expecting a SECOND sneak attack on Pearl Harbour! Those inscrutable Asians. Ammirite?

The Chinese have a better fighter plane than the F-35 JSF now. One that will fly in the rain. If they stop manufacturing Trump branded products and concentrate on making them nice and cheap for anyone who wants them?

Sounds like you were dead on. Are you prepared for Trump sending "his" security people to chat with you? Because you obviously colluded with a White House leaker. (Apologies, if less than funny.)
