Alliances mean nothing to Trump

[Correll]

Trump violates the one element that makes America great, collectivism

It's why we call ourselves 'united' ,as in UNITED states of America, it's why we rose to a world power, it's why the allies beat the axis , it's why our middle class rose to prosperity , it's why the UN was formed, it's why communism crapped out

This applies across the board from things economic, to environmental ,or whatever issue that is either domestic or foreign in nature

To thwart this with political hubris is suicide for any country

S~

Trumps only value is ....what is in it for me?

And as President that translates to what is in it for the United States
Which is what it should be

You would think so

But looking out for number one is a short sighted strategy. Economically, you are more powerful and do better as a whole when you function as an economic alliance

Think of a Basketball team where every player tries to score as many points as they can and nobody cares about the team

Economically, the status quo is literally killing our people.

Actually, we are doing quite well

Better than Europe and Japan

Not according to our declining life span. That is not happening in Europe or Japan.

Wow....does it hurt much when you talk out of your ass like that? Trump has never had any friends? Really? Our country is isolated.....? You mean the way just made the move to end tariffs, and to get the allies to fork up their share of defending their countries.....? Getting dead beat, welfare leach countries to actually pull their weight is not being respected? I would think that being the sucker for decades as those "allies" take our money and show us no respect is the actual problem...but then again, you are a left winger, and therefore really stupid...so you don't know anything....

Crooked Donnie has played into Putin’s hands

Breaking up the western alliance

If the alliance is so important, then why don't they give Trump what he wants?


He'll be gone in 4 or 8 years and things can go back to normal.


What's the problem?

why doesn’t he give them what they want?

Because he ran on getting better trade deal, ie reducing the Trade Deficit.



So, I answered your question.


Why don't they give him what he wants? Or is the alliance not important to them?

Because it isn’t in their country’s interest.

Oh, so the alliance is not that important, then. Got it.

So, why the fuss?

That has no relationship to trade practices.

Studies have found that the causes are economic stress and risky behaviors that are often driven by economic stress.


That is ,at least, greatly a result of Trade Policy.

Blame Republicans for blocking healthcare

We could have better healthcare than Europe and Japan if Republicans will let us

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Alliances are national friendships. I got your back, you got mine
You are stronger as a group than as an individual

Consider Trump has never had any friends in his life. It is all about him.....what is in it for me?

As a result, he is isolating our country. We are no longer respected, no longer trusted

Putin is celebrating

You guys have been screaming doom and gloom since the day he got elected and none of it has come to pass

Nope.


And it's our turn. Or fuck it.


If the alliance is important, it's their turn to take one for the team.


And what's the big deal? You guys are always saying that the trade deficit doesn't matter. That it is all job losses caused by automation. And ect.


So, just give Trump what he wants to save the oh so important alliance.



I thought they were supposed to be more experience, competent and rational. So, do the experienced, competent and rational thing.


Save the Alliance. Stop stooping to Trump's level of name calling and press sniping. Be the bigger man.



Or is that all bullshit?

One just needs to be familiar with Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In from the 1960's to recognize this president's style.

Alliance are supposed to benefit BOTH parties NOT just 1. For far to long that's been the case. We take care of other nations while they rip us off in trade and as far as military protection goes. They want to whine about it then fuck em let them walk! They can either man up and put their fair share in or they can get lost!

Sometimes it helps others....you don’t always win
But as a group you are stronger economically

How do you explain that the US is doing better economically than Europe an$ Japan ?

Doesn't mean the EU and Japan can't come up with SOME WAY to make it a fifty fifty arrangement...if its not that then what's the point?

Yes it has

Trump has destroyed our status as leader of the free world
Guess what?
Trump is no longer the leader

Apparently alliences mean fuck-all to our "allies" and have for a long time.

Fuck those bitches. Lets demand tribute. No American should ever have to pay taxes. Our "allies" should pay for all our shit.

And off the deep end they go................

The point is that the whole pie is bigger
Don’t believe we are not making out better as part of an alliance

Greatly? I don’t think so. There are a lot of factors causing economic stress and most are a result of substantial changes in automation and the types of jobs now needed.

What the dip in US life expectancy is really about: inequality

Such risk taking behavior is greatly increased by economic stress.


But you knew that.


So, wtf was that about?

 

[eagle1462010]

It's real simple............Fair Trade practices ................Not a one way street.........don't do it........then there is retaliation...............

They have been getting away with for far too long...................They serve their people's self interest and jobs as do we..........and we want them to do Trade Fairly in a give and take process........Not all take.
