Polls showed 95% against this visit. The three days are said to have cost us $141 million dollars, $47 million a day and all we get is USA pushing more $billions of arms to make wars which of the "allies" have any business in, contrived and manipulated wars which are killing our economies, jobs, life-style, reduce our free speech, stunt our personal development, cause depression, even make people consider suicide which helps no-one and causes true tragedy in familes. Makes us less able to afford to even live ordinary lives).
