Now to just nitpick some, Trump needs to work on his self-presentation during these events. His stance is kind of bad. Pretty slouchy with his hands hanging as if he doesn't want to be there. When Mattis got up to say his speech, Trump's stance improved where he crossed them in front himself. Anyways, that's is not the big thing. The big thing is his speech where I feel he needs to get rid of these key words and phrases that IMO sounds immature. "Believe Me" & "Beautiful" are a few.
Ok. Trump gave his speech and then went to sign a couple of Executive Orders. One was the Rebuilding of the U.S. Armed Forces. I think I understand what this is about, but I am trying to understand why. Honestly I don't think anything major is wrong with the military. We have pretty much the strongest military out there. Rebuilding it kind of tells me that it has seriously weakened to a point that it is all, but disappeared. The other thing about this is cost. You already have to do budgets to maintain the Armed Forces, but rebuilding them? *Sigh* I don't know.
The second Executive Order was the Protection of the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry. Now he said that we should know what that is about, but to be honest, I am not sure. I know he was talking about temporary bans on Muslims and cleaning up illegal immigration so I am going to think it will have something to do with that. May have to research more on them.
Oh well, congrats to Secretary Mattis. Best of luck to you in your position. Hopefully you will be in for the long term.
