Today, while the market collapsed and four soldiers who died on an exercise in Lithuania arrived at Dover, where was Donald Trump? Was he monitoring the markets? Was he there for the arrival of these heroes?
Nope: he was golfing, with the Saudis

Trump's counselor, Alina Habba, just said fired veterans are perhaps "not fit to have a job." This is the same Trump who called us "suckers" and "losers." The disrespect never stops.
