    It’s weird to see an American president pegging the Military Industrial Complex. I thought Ratheon and Lockheed owned our shit?

      Turns out the military-industrial complex is just influential business, and not a cabal of shadow-rulers.

      My personal theory is that they aren’t social media platforms, so the orange man doesn’t know what they are. He doesn’t know that weapons export is a major US business and by hurting our reputation with our allies, he’s steering away customers.
