"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Americans are getting a better idea now of why Trump wants to increase the ‘Defense’ Department’s budget by 9% and to cut funds for all other Departments (except Veterans Affairs — vets had voted for him) in order to pay for it. The neocons calling him ‘Putin’s puppet’ and ‘Putin’s Manchurian candidate’, have caused the unprincipled weak and ego-manipulable Trump, to want the world to know that he’s instead allied with Putin’s enemies — the Sauds and the other fundamentalist-Sunni dictatorships of Arabia — safe friends for a U.S. President to have, in the American dictatorship. Trump wants to be known as ‘a true American’, no ally of the Kremlin.
