16. count on it costing more!

If it's something he wants and demands, to try to "sell" it to the people the costs will always be at the lowest level possible. That's a given.

This just jacks my jaws. I'm a Viet Nam era veteran. As a draft dodger, he should not have anything military associated with him, I don't care if he is CnC. He certainly isn't MY president and if he knew anything about me, I'd be on his hit list. He certainly isn't the president to what... over 70 million US citizens? Nor does he try to be. He's a draft dodging asshole who had someone else sent to Viet Nam instead of himself... at that early age, he was already sending men to war to die for him. Rotten apples are rotten apples for all time.
