Yes, it's hard to say how he figures to profit unless he just figures
he is in too deep to just back out now and it will go away, or he
figures his downturn in popularity is temporary.

Trump seems to be keeping more quiet these days. I suspect he is getting
a lot more flak than he (or the news) is letting on.

The other day it was mentioned here that we have a 'potential' order
in to Lockheed Martin there to buy 88 F35 fighter jets, and we are
under contract to buy the first 16, but the balance is still optional
and the Prime Minister is talking about not buying the rest, which
would cost L.M. $8.64 Billion. I may be wrong but I suspect that military
contractors have a great deal of influence over the government there..

They also had the governor of Alaska on TV today basically saying that
what's going on makes no sense at all. Our North and yours are very
closely knit due to difficulties for both of them to get what they
need without cooperating with each other.
