President Obama and the Democrats had these issues settled, but Trump decided on his own that he did not like the treaties or trade deals and suspended them, there by creating these problems. Republicans allowed this too happen, they need to remind Trump being president is about honoring America's past treaties and trade deals.

Those 1500 troops were already there on the ships in the ABG on a scheduled deployment - I realize that. The Defense Dept announced on Friday additional troops will be going to the Middle East...

What domestic problems? - You obviously have not kept up with the news.
Trump can't fix everything at once when democrats refuse to help! - For TWO years Trump had a Repub Senate and Repub House and he chose to focus solely on giving the 1% a gift. For TWO+ years we've been hearing about Trump's "infrastructure week", yet nothing has come from the WH...Then on Thursday Sen Minority Leader Schumer and House Speaker Pelosi came to a meeting called by Trump to discuss plans for infrastructure - Trump showed up with no notes, no plans, and within 3 minutes he walked out of the meeting and appeared at an already setup podium with already prepared signs having a temper tantrum (again) and said he won't work with the Dems until all investigations of him/his campaign stop. Give me a break! - saying, democrats refuse to help! is just not true. The Dems can walk and chew gum at the same time - Trump cannot. Trump has no plans other than to put on shows for his fans to get re-elected.

What a better way for a president to garner votes for re-election when he still hasn't reached a 50% approval rating than begin a military build-up - GW Bush did it prior to his re-election, now Trump will try it. How'd it work out for GW Bush and the country?
