I once knew a woman whose husband punched her in the arm because he was mad,  she went away whimpering.  Weeks later, he became angry again.  She stepped up to him and said "go ahead, hit me, but learn one thing Mr.  This time I'm going down fighting!"  She never felt intimidated again!  Nor did he ever try to hit her again...........................marge                                                                                               Next.  Self absorbed ingratiating leader.  This man (boy) wants to have a Million $+ parade, just for his own ego.  I think, in a most polite way, his Cabinet Members HOPEFULLY have convinced him, now would not be a wise time.  Bless them if they were able!  Time will tell...................................marge
