Highup, there is evidence that Trump has been and still is involved in mob activities. When the Russians came in and took over the mob, they moved in on Trump properties. They still do business from his properties. There are court records indicating that he was in trouble for various things over the years and the way he got out of trouble was rolling on bigger fish.
I'm sorry, but I admit I laughed at the idea that we are now more respected. People from other countries think Trump is a joke. They don't fear him, they mock him. They pity us. The ones that don't, are the ones that hate us & they generally know how to manipulate Trump. Putin & Kim both played him like a fiddle.
And then there is this:

Trump owes the Russians a lot. They bailed him out of financial troubles a few times.
The recent bit of trying to make it so that asbestos could be used in the US again is absolutely moronic- and of course the stuff is being made by Russia. They put his picture on the crates!
As for why we don't merge the Air Force and NASA-- it is a violation of international treaties to use space for warfare. The two groups work fine separately.
Merging agencies doesn't always work very well. ICE has been a total cluster****. Especially since they separated the naturalization part from immigration.
