Sitting next to the Norwegian Prime Minister today, President Donald Trump told reporters that the U.S. has spent $350 billion to help Ukraine. This is inaccurate. That's nearly double the amount that Congress has approved since the war began. buff.ly/MIHrUI5

Heath was never qualified to run an operation the size of the Defense Department, never mind the drunkenness.

It is what happens when you have the emotional quotient of a temper tantrum throwing child as the leader of your country… The dumbing down of America has truly peaked.
