Senate Republicans are cautioning President Trump against ordering military strikes against the socialist regime in Cuba, arguing the U.S. military already has its hands full with Iran. The Trump administration, these Republicans declare, should not be thinking about opening another military front in a midterm election year when voters are already showing their displeasure with the war in Iran. They say finding a conclusion to the Iran war should be the nation’s, and the administration’s, top priority.
So is Donald Trump even listening to them? Does he care any more about what other lawmakers or even what voters think, as he is already in office? He makes his own decisions based on what he feels in his gut is right at the present moment, which then might change just a nanosecond later. He has been described as impulsive, acting without any thought. Medical observers have already identified him as having senior attention deficit syndrome. The world is currently being buffeted by his rapidly changing whims.
Doctors Sound Alarm Over Trump’s Rapid Mental Decline
Should a hyperactive Trump still have his finger the nuclear trigger? Should he even be remaining in office? He is putting all Americans and the whole world at grave risk. He also likes spending public money freely, never mind the deficit.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican senators left a meeting with the director of the U.S. Secret Service on Tuesday saying they need more details on a $1 billion security plan for the White House, including a proposed $220 million to secure President Donald Trump’s new East Wing ballroom. Does our country even need a ballroom?
Well, President Trump definitely wants a ballroom and also an arch, never mind the cost or whether they fit in with what is already there. After all, he is the US president and king of the world. He also proposes putting his image on the $100 bill.

Donald Trump often keeps us all entertained with his crazy antics as Clown-in-Chief.
Washington Post, Trump: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation."
In the White House, while Trump often stays awake at night, where does he hang out? Wife Melania is sleeping peacefully elsewhere, reportedly on another floor.
Trump says he doesn't think about Americans' finances 'even a little bit' in Iran talks
Probably he doesn't care about the cost of his ballroom or of his triumphal arch either. After all, it's not his own money. Trump still has plenty of dough, but he'd like to keep it for himself. He's not actually worried about the cost of the arch or the ballroom because his own money is not involved, These are just ways for our country to pay tribute to him in perpetuity. There's the Washington Monument, also the Lincoln memorial, and then very soon Trump's Triumphal Arch. Just let taxpayers foot the bill, as the president has likely figured out a way to end up paying almost no taxes himself.
The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967, clarifies that if a U.S. President dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the Vice President becomes President. It also sets rules for temporarily transferring power if a president is incapacitated (e.g., surgery) and outlines how to replace a sitting president deemed unfit by their cabinet and Vice President.
Why is a review of the 25th Amendment being undertaken right now?
Is it because Trump's behavior in office is becoming just too very bizarre? Many of us
would like to see him long gone from offiice, but as mentioned before, that would mean that JD Vance would take over and could then run again.
Vance is young, with small children and a pregnant wife, making a much more appealing picture than Donald J. Trump, not seen often with his family.

Now speaking of a pregnant wife:
Man accused of killing pregnant wife flees to Italy, tells judge he’s innocent
So then, who had murdered his wife? And why did the husband just run away? Didn't he want to help find her killer? In perhaps 99% of cases of women being murdered at home, the killer is never some strange intruder, but actually her own husband or male partner. This particular huband became upset that his wife was pregnant. Was he worried about no longer being her main squeeze, perhaps actually jealous of his unborn child? That happens. Even worse would come when he sees the baby actually sucking at her breast. So he may decide to kill her, concerned that he will no longer be her number one focus.
And how many intruders actually enter private homes here in the US? The Guthrie case is a rare exception, involving the home of a woman related to a well-known media personality. Intruders don't just break in to rob ordinary Americans like you and me. To steal what? Sheets and towels? Trash bags? Dishes? On-line thefts are so much easier, so much more common, and so very much more lucrative.
When I was living in DC, my own on-line thief was a woman I'd never actually met, someone working with credit card or bank transactions. She had stolen several thousand dollars before I'd even noticed.
Around here where we are living now, we never lock our doors when going out and never once have had an intruder and neither has anyone else we know.
In the third world, it's quite a different story. Houses there must always be guarded. Otherwise, when the owners return, their house will be empty: no more computer, furniture, dishes, sheets, towels, or pots and pans. Even food will gone. Because of extremes of poverty and wealth, well-off folks like my friends in Honduras live in a big house with a guard dog always on duty outside. Their current dog is a female but most guard dogs are male. These dogs never come inside.
Their high encircling fence with a locked gate is topped with rolls of barbed wire and bright lights shining all night. A trusted live-in servant, with her own separate quarters on the property, is always on call, with weekly time off only on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, when she then takes a bus to visit her own kids being cared for by relatives. During her brief weekend break, the home owners just stay at home. If they go away on vacation, she brings her own children to stay with her at the house until the owners return.
This article predicts a regime change in Cuba, coming sooner than we might expect.
If that should actually happen, I might even get a new passport and go back there myself.
