Have our leaders simply thrown in the towel? Do they know it's already too late? There has to be some explanation for their total silence but we're left to speculate on what that may be.

What influence will the military have on Trump? Will they convince him that climate change and global warming is real? Or will he decide to invest in war machines and a mansion sized bunker for his family and friends?
