Statecraft

Noun, (steyt-kraft, -krahft)

The low,almost undetectable, amount of statecraft in our legislatures both Federal and State has caused egregious damages to our citizens by heaping an unpayable debt upon them.

Odd. Thought we had a spell of whichcraft was worse during the Foggy Bottom 7th floor firing there, not statecraft or nationalcrafting.

For the first time since Reagan we have a president capable of practicing statecraft. President Trump is worthy of his office.

Word for the day haiku:

Trump’s unique statecraft,
non-traditional and smart,
is why we’re winning!

The Denizens of Statecraft are all in a tizzy because they’re being told to do something they haven’t done in far too long: Put the USA First
