We are here for just a blink and nomatter the faith or non faith, our experience is beyond a doubt miraculous. Why we subvert that is beyond me. Sometimes I think because questioning, simply put, infinity is frightening we create boxes of knowns ruled by emotions. The mind and heart certainly can also pierce into a truer definition of freedom.

Removing US from INF, a Reagan era treaty and now nuclear proliferation is on the rise. Russia subs with armed nuclear underwater drones. Was played by Turkey where he has two hotels and a mall 🤔 endangering our allies the Kurds, set free isis prisoners and Russia now has the long sought after strategic stronghold while our troops were off to Saudi.. This was against advise of generals and without international cooperation. Odd how his international dealings wind up supporting the ever unpredictable and notably dangerous Mr. Putin.. Used veto to continue selling arms to Saudi Arabia who is slaughtering Yemen leaving its people impoverished and starving. Several republican senators were against this as well. The list goes on. So yes along with many he is considered dangerous. He is only using his base as a means for his personal benefit. Putting someone on a pedestal only gives away personal power and I'm afraid Mr. /Ms. Historydogg the wrong side of history will hopefully be voted out before we are led into complete disaster on every level. Hopefully the one thing we have in common is no more wars.

      It is clear to me that trump was coached and rehearsed for the fox segment. Why? 1. trump does not know the word acuity. 2. The five words he uses as an example and the order he says them are contrived ("person", "woman", "man", "camera", "tv"). 3. The words "person", "woman", and "man" are too alike for this kind of test. 4. As someone else already mentioned "tv" is not a word but the word "television" was going to be too confusing and difficult for trump to reliably remember. 5. trump could not remember five simple words. For example "insect", "star", "train", "branch", "water". It is painfully obvious that he would not be capable of repeating these five words back to an examiner. 6. The words "person", "woman", and "man" are interconnected. trump's coaches figured with a lot of practice trump trump could manage these three words. For political purposes trump's people put the word "woman" before the word "man". 7. Team trump still needed two more words. "Camera" and "tv" might work because trump would be able to see them during the interview. trump needed visual aides for all the words. 8. So they rehearsed it like this: You will be in front of an adult "person" who will be a "woman" or a "man". Look at the "camera" and the "tv" (monitor). Rinse and repeat. 9. Change the word order to "tv", "man", "person", "camera" "woman" and he fails every time because he is NOT cognitively there. 10. Team trump was heavily coaching trump and rehearsing many, many, many, times.
