Republican Eddie Baza Calvo, son of former Governor Paul Calvo, was elected in 2010. He was a Ted Cruz primary supporter last year but has quickly come around to a very Trumpian worldview after Trump beat Cruz in the GOP primary. Guam doesn't get to vote for president but their official presidential preference poll was a lopsided landlside-- against Trump. Hillary won 23,052 votes (71.6%) to Trump's 7,779 votes (24.2%). Calvos and Trump staged an absurd and embarrassingly choreographed phone conversation (above) on Saturday. Calvos' statements of devotion to Señor Trumpanzee were likely written by Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller or one of the other goofballs in the Trumpanzee White House. Trump babbling about the North Korean nukes crisis helping tourism was pure off-the-cuff Trumpanzee, no Bannon or Miller needed: "I have to tell you, you have become extremely famous all over the world. They are talking about Guam; and they’re talking about you... I can say this: You’re going to go up, like, tenfold with the expenditure of no money."On the other hand, there is no doubt that this is Trumpanzee White House-created propaganda silliness: "I have never felt more safe or so confident than with you at the helm. So, with all the criticism going on over there from a guy who is being targeted, we need a president like you. So I’m just so thankful. And I’m glad you’re holding the helm, sir." Sick!Robert Underwood, who was Guam's congressional Representative for a decade, had a very different perspective than the sadly sycophantic Calvos. "For the United States, [Guam is] the place from which you can project power into Asia in an unfettered way... When President Trump says, 'Go ahead and do what you're gonna do on Guam and see what happens subsequently,' it causes you to think, 'Well, would he say that if Anchorage had that same threat? If Kim Jong Un said he would hit Anchorage, would he say, 'Go ahead hit Anchorage and see what happens?' How do people really see Guam in the context of the U.S. family? So are we just like cannon fodder? Are we just extras? Are we just not part of the equation?" Are Eric and Trumpanzee, Jr. scurrying to build a new Trump Tower on Tumon Bay?"
