Trump's notions on being a general

"I think I would have been a good general, but who knows."

One of the many comments made by President Donald Trump in Washington yesterday.

In a wide-ranging Q&A President Trump referred to how the Soviet Union engagement in Afghanistan bankrupetd the USSR. He spoke about the high wall around the Vatican and the library India has built in Afghanistan.

He told us how he spent Christmas alone in the White House looking out at soldiers with guns on the lawn. He never before saw so many submachine guns.

It was a fabulous 60 minutes of television.

Most noticeable was to watch the all-men platoon who sat by and listened to what he was saying.
