    The bit everyone else seems to be missing. Just like with Iraq and Afghanistan, this war is happening on the backs of working class Americans.

    Nobody in TrumpWorld is paying a penny. Quite a few of them are cleaning up on Pentagon contracts.

      Estimating this fiasco will cost at least $600B, that sits around $2000 per American. That doesn’t even factor in the indirect costs like increased oil prices, decreased trade, and lost jobs. That lot sure is winning!
