I thought Trump was saying he will shut it down if they don’t do something about illegals

Eh?
[quote]He is a business genius who wrote The Art of the Deal.[/quote]
No he isn't an no he didn't. Tony Schwartz wrote it. He spent 18 months with Trump and was sued by Trump because Shwartz estimated Trump wasn't worth the 5 billion he claimed to be worth...Nearer 250 million said Shwartz. In court Trump admitted that he estimated what he was worth by 'how he felt' on a day to day basis.
[quote]He has the highest intellect and best moral values.

@Tres13
Part of his resignation letter.
[quote]I have said from the beginning that the armed forces of the United States should not be the policeman of the world. Instead, we must use all tools of American power to provide for the common defense, including providing effective leadership to our alliances. 29 democracies demonstrated that strength in their commitment to fighting alongside us following the 9-11 attack on America. The Defeat-ISIS coalition of 74 nations is further proof.
Similarly, I believe we must be resolute and unambiguous in our approach to those countries whose strategic interests are increasingly in tension with ours.[b] It is clear that China and Russia, for example, want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian model gaining veto authority over other nations’ economic, diplomatic, and security decisions to promote their own interests at the expense of their neighbors, America and our allies. That is why we must use all the tools of American power to provide for the common defense.[/b]
[b]My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear-eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues.[/b] We must do everything possible to advance an international order that is most conducive to our security, prosperity and values, and we are strengthened in this effort by the solidarity of our alliances.
Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position.[/quote]
