Trump 47

An offhand comment Donald Trump made about receiving a Nobel Prize nomination while speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India is the reason the two have gone from allies to enemies, reports the New York Times.


NYT article (paywall):

Could be a serious diplomatic blunder all because of his enormous ego. Meanwhile, this is playing out well for Russia and China.
 
Probably not the smartest move.

1. You don't disrespect the military. Whatever is happening in DC and other cities isn't on them.

2. Id bet the average National Guardsman would really prefer to be home with their families right now. I think the government is doing 28 day deployments to keep from giving them more pay (not sure on this) so there is that as well.

3. That's extremely unprofessional of a federal worker.
Yeah, the National Guardsmen didn't ask for any of this, so it's pretty stupid to take the angst out toward them.

This is one of those spots I'm OK with the FAFO consequences
