And, fwiw, I found the folk of The Netherlands to be an awesome people. So happy. Even when I was taken into the countryside by my Dutch business associates.

Everybody seemed to be so happy.

Yes, and of all of the European countries that I've visited (at least 15), The Netherlands is the most cosmopolitan in that they seem to be equality welcome to anyone from anywhere (Switzerland is a close second). One indication of that is that virtually everyone in the country is fluent in several languages. We once had a company instructor from Holland who had to teach a class for our engineering software to a group of customers from various European countries. There were about eight engineers in the class and between them, there wasn't a single common language, so he proceeded to teach the week-long class in four different languages, simultaneously, none of which were Dutch.

Trump continues to hollow-out what were once seen as world-class, science-based government agencies.

Trump is really losing it in terms of what he thinks is appropriate to post this on his Truth Social account.

I'm sure if someone in Congress or a Governor posted something like this only it was he who was being shown arrested by the FBI and then sitting in jail, he would be demanding an investigation and perhaps a lawsuit.

It seem ironic that we have a Transportation secretary who has a phobia about riding in subways.

So much for looking out for our military and their families...
