really blaming this on Trump as well as the wind direction?
We appear laser focused on algae, tarps, names on buildings, ketchup packs, and all this super critical stuff that has nothing to do with the political direction of our country.
And just for the record: Trump has nothing to do with maintenance of military aircraft or it's pilot training. And no, this wasn't part of the Iran mess, it was doing exercises.
We really need to get our feet back on the ground and focus on things of actual importance, we have mid-terms coming up.
