I love the photo that you posted to Twitter of Alaska from the sky. Did you take it? It's nice that you got a warm reception at JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON.

The EU Observer claims you are not "best friends after all," because you want to put tariffs on Austria car parts and Sebastian doesn't want to waste tax payer money on the military. ..
…Feel free to give me a call so we can chat about it. According to today's WP you are the "chatterbox in chief" and like to have impromptu conversations with Senators. Apparently, they can call Madeleine Westerhout and she puts them through. I am not much of a phone person but, for you, I'll make an exception….
