More infoLet's just face facts… having allies in war is strategically important to the success of a country. And with the world on edge and arms discussions at the highest levels since the Cold War, it would only benefit the USA to have good allies.

After this first trip to the Middle East to meet leaders in that area, and his handling of the secret info from the Manchester attack, Trump is starting to piss allies off. Finally, Mark gives Jason a personality test to see if he is a badass.
