23. It is worse than that. Forget humiliation. He has weakened America.

We can get over humiliation.

What we can't easily get past is that this guy has purged a generation of military leaders. He has wasted 5 years' production of our most important (and hugely expensive) weapons, just shooting them off as it they were firecrackers on July 4. He has given away endless classified secrets to our enemies. He has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars with kickback schemes to his family and friends. And he has revealed to the whole world that our mighty military that we spend well over a trillion dollars a year for, is simply powerless to effect any real change unless we are willing to put 100,000 soldiers on the ground. And we aren't willing.

He tore up a deal that was working because he believed a strongman could do better. Now we have neither a strong man nor an agreement that keeps America safe.

Flags should be at half-mast.
