Fine. There will be plenty of room in Gitmo for all the crooks who should be convicted for malfeasance while in office the past 20 years. Drain the swamp, Pres. Trump!

The joint Chiefs or Pentagon officers in charge should be contacted by Trump and told to slow walk this thing for two weeks. And for them to not worry about any repercussions from bunghole Barry
