I’m sorry Carl, I don’t agree with that title either. It assumes that all in the anti-war movement welcome the Trump administration. Not all of us trust he will do some of that which he promised in respect to “defunding Nato,” “making friends with Russia,”
or killing TPP. Even if he does those three things, his further provocations of China, are every bit as dangerous as those with Russia, it’s a mere tactic to drive a wedge between Russia and China, while chipping away at Iran.
<div class=""><br class="">
<div class="">His Cabinet appointments are frightening to say the least in respect to Healthcare, Energy, Education, Housing, etc, etc.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Further expansion of war in the Middle East, and North Africa, as well as expansion of capitalist corporate control is on the agenda no matter which of the two Party’s are in power.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Obama paved the way, for all of which I have just referred, but it’s not over. Our only hope is that “the people” are now awake, and perhaps will focus on that which is most serious to survival.

<div class="">An excellent letter, which I posted on FB. I deliberately deleted the title that I assumed the NG created, because it gives the false impression that those of us in the anti-war movement, all support Trump. We don’t, we just didn’t support Hillary.
Anyone in the anti-war movement supporting Hillary was supporting more of the same that Obama provided.</div>
