Capitol Roundup: Wolf unveils historic funding proposal for Pa. agriculture

<p>Both Gina Haspel, director of the CIA, and Dan Coats, director of National Intelligence, are Republicans appointed by President Donald Trump.</p><p>Yet, both disagree with Trump regarding North Korea, ISIS and Iran. Trump said that North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat, that we won the war against ISI and that the nuclear arms treaty with Iran wouldn&#8217;t stop them from making nuclear bombs.</p><p>At a recent Senate hearing, the two described how North Korea has not stopped making nuclear weapons, ISIS is still a threat and Iran is keeping his promise not to manufacture nuclear weapons.</p><p>So why is our president contradicting the informed opinions of two directors appointed by him? It&#8217;s simple. He&#8217;s a great self-promoter who wants to make himself look good at the expense of Americans. You must realize that is his objective when you head his tweets. His tendency to distort facts and tell outright lies applies not only to foreign policy, but to the economy and our southern border.</p><p>U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican, suggested replacing the term &#8220;wall&#8221; with &#8220;border security&#8221; and the Democrats and many other Republicans would agree with the president. It&#8217;s sad and unfortunate that Trump&#8217;s supporters and Rush Limbaugh aren&#8217;t willing to put America first, instead of acting like stubborn children who want their way.</p><p>Of course, our president must take the lead and talk about &#8220;border security&#8221; instead of a wall, but his lack of ability to study facts and come up with the best solution is holding him back. I know he promised a wall, but he also promised Mexico would pay for it. Why 35 percent still support his dysfunctional administration is difficult to understand, but their support convinces Trump to continue Un-American policies and makes Republican congressman hesitate to challenge Trump. Therefore, it appears the best way to make American great again is by resigning.</p><p><strong>Joe Czarnecki </strong></p><p>Dallas</p><style>
