I would like to ask Nathan Giede a few questions about U.S. President Donald Trump.
Within days of taking office, Trump organized a committee to verify that more people attended his inauguration than Barack Obama’s. Photos from a helicopter would challenge that.
At about the same time, Trump made inquiries as to if Obama’s folks hotwired his phone at Trump Tower. Have either reached any conclusions? A most judicious use of taxpayers money is needed, would you not agree?
He also said that he knows more about war than the generals. I gather that would include such notables as Dwight Eisenhower, George Patton, Douglas Macarthur, George Marshall et al. I am curious to know the source of this vast military knowledge. Any ideas?
Before the passing of Sen. John McCain, the president said that he didn't have as much respect for those soldiers that got captured. I have a friend whose father was captured days following the D-Day landing and spent the rest of the war in a POW camp. I told him that the president has less respect for his military service. Nathan, do you think that being captured by the enemy should be a black mark on your record?
Last week, Trump announced that he is planning to ban all mail-in ballots as they are a source of bribery and fraud. The head of the U.S. Postal Service vehemently denies this but then what does he know about mail fraud? By the way, in the last Florida election, Trump voted by mail. Kind of a case of do as I say, not as I do.
Don't get me wrong, Nathan. For the sake of full disclosure , me and my mates get together on a Friday night at our favorite watering hole and after four or five rounds, the conversation can best be described as mental constipation and verbal diarrhea. The only differences are that we don't have as big a megaphone as the Donald and we will often apologize for our stupidity.
Anyway Nathan, good luck to your candidate in November. I think he is going to need it,
Doug Strachan
