"The government is setting the stage for increasing spending on military and national security," Rasmussen said in a statement after the phone call.

Trump won the election only 8 days ago and he has already been changing the world.

I have to admit. I am still grinning from election day and I feel great after 8 years of a daily nightmare.

We actually saved our country last week.....

That is amazing. Already acting the statesman, and he is still two months out from being inaugurated.

Thank God for Trump!

Interesting comparison to Obama, who won a Nobel Prize just for being black and existing.
