   Yes, it's hard to say how he figures to profit unless he just figures   
   he is in too deep to just back out now and it will go away, or he   
   figures his downturn in popularity is temporary.   
      
   Trump seems to be keeping more quiet these days. I suspect he is getting   
   a lot more flak than he (or the news) is letting on.   
      
   The other day it was mentioned here that we have a 'potential' order   
   in to Lockheed Martin there to buy 88 F35 fighter jets, and we are   
   under contract to buy the first 16, but the balance is still optional   
   and the Prime Minister is talking about not buying the rest, which   
   would cost L.M. $8.64 Billion. I may be wrong but I suspect that military   
   contractors have a great deal of influence over the government there..   
      
   They also had the governor of Alaska on TV today basically saying that   
   what's going on makes no sense at all. Our North and yours are very   
   closely knit due to difficulties for both of them to get what they   
   need without cooperating with each other.
