I think she is head of the armed forces. She was only recently appointed. It could be that since we do have a contract for F35's, armed forces must plan for that and leave the internecine warfare up to others. Or not🧐😋

“During an Oval Office meeting last week with Canadian PM Mark Carney, Trump joked about a “merger” of the two countries“

Trump has zero sense of humour and as long as he and his sycophants continue the 51st rhetoric I’ll continue my boycott.
