    "Iron Dome" only protects against short range systems. When Israel shared the Iron Dome technology with us we fielded it under the name "C-RAM" (Counter - Rocket, Artillery, Mortar). Trump's comments seem to indicate he is totally aware of this and seeks another solution to protect against the kind of ICBM and possibly hyper velocity weapons that threaten our nation. His words seem to suggest he is looking at a "non-kinetic defense". I'd almost bet that if questioned, he's thinking about a new type of defense, possibly EMP. That seems to be where we're headed. That would meet the 17 second requirement quite nicely, with time to spare.

    Having an inheritance doesn’t mean one is smart.

    His flock adores a loudmouthed moron. That doesn’t make him any less of a moron.

    I doubt he is smart enough to understand what you wrote, let alone having thought about it.

    Brilliantly communicated and easily understood. But then he is a very stable genius with an unusually large brain.

    And we know what a Trump presidency is like: Peace, Plenty, Rising Wages and Living Standards, Reasonably Priced Food and Gasoline.

    Trump's adding Kaboom!

    The Kaboom is the key, notice he left that out in case our enemies were listening. Surprise makes Kaboom all the more effective. Trump's brilliant and communicating complex concepts, simply.

    Debt does matter. But that doesn’t make his statement ignorant by any measure. I’m okay with addressing debt and cutting spending to so but would never agree that military spending should be cut before safety nets. Both have safety concerns for our populace but to cut one without the other is a none starter no matter how you look at. There has to be give and takes. In a time Biden is giving a free pass to college kids for simply existing it’s hard to make the argument that defense should be cut because we all the sudden care about debt. This goes to the reverse argument. Debt is a whole other topic

    The planes when used as a weapon, by definition, would be a missile.

    Right, he'll get the best people. The most best people, you have no idea how good these people will be, but they are the smarte.....the best. We will have a plan soon, a plan like you have never seen. People are saying it's the most fantastic plan they have ever seen and cannot believe how we came up with it.

    The first guided missile was a kamikaze plane.
