I don't think a guy who kept classified documents next to his toilet is gonna fire national security leadership for sharing war plans in an unsecured group chat. With emojis! This and worse was a given. Especially when you hire talk show hosts to run defense.

The state of things

Free trade economics, strong diplomatic networks and alliances, the soft power of democratic culture and values, the hard power of a competent military …

Presidential Motorcade & Transport: estimated $200,000 – $500,000
