America First

[Mac1958]

China and Russia want to see the Western alliance in disarray
Trump delivered

Yes he did. ANOTHER mess Biden has to clean up.

But this was a great start. Thank goodness.

American leadership is back.

Spot on Mac. Trump’s America First was just an empty slogan. While Trump was touting America First, his tax plan encouraged American companies to invest overseas. While Trump was touting American First, Chinese and Russian influence and power grew at the expense of American global leadership.
Biden’s slogan should be America Strong. That is what our new President is doing. Bringing America back into the forefront of global leadership where she belongs.

Also, I wonder how many of these people have ever been in a position of leadership for a large, successful company.

There, you are trained (regularly) that leadership is not about you personally, it's about what you can motivate and inspire others to do. And that includes jumping in, being engaged, contributing and getting your hands dirty. That's how you're judged.

I think most of these people who want America to hide don't know what true leadership is.

The way the EU has been illegally supporting airbus shows how they think that the game should be played.


They are willing to break the law to get their companies sales and their people jobs, at our expense.


That is ONE example where they got caught. It shows that they are pursuing a policy and a mindset far more aggressive than Trump's America First, and they have been doing so, all along. For decades.

Oh, so that's your excuse for relinquishing our position as Leader of the Free World?

Xi thanks you, no doubt.

China and Russia want to see the Western alliance in disarray

Trump delivered

If our friends are so offended by the idea of an American President having a policy of looking out for AMERICANS, then they are not our allies, and maybe never were.

Alliances don’t work like that
It is not always one side always wins

We give something, they give something
We all win

Show me where Trump said that we have to always win.

3 takeaways from President Joe Biden's first G7 summit

When President Joe Biden and his aides were planning his visit to the Cornish coast this weekend, many -- including the President -- viewed it as something of a homecoming.

www.cnn.com

I'm "America First". I want what's best for America, and I know that, as the world leader, what's good for us is good for the rest of the world.

So, I know that isolating ourselves from a rapidly changing world and insulating ourselves into our own little static rabbit hole are the worst things we can do for America.

I know the world is advancing quickly, all around us. I know that we have long-standing relationships with MANY other countries that we can leverage in our self-interest. Sometimes that will involve carefully using some of our vast resources as we lead the way. That's what leaders do. They don't hide and desperately hold on to what's theirs, like spoiled children.

Just as in the business world, the best leaders are those who help others achieve their potential. They don't mock or insult or attack those people. They lean in and be a part of the growth. And, selfishly, they know they also benefit from the growth of others.

Others claim to be America First, but to them it just means behaving like those spoiled children. You can't have the America First slogan as your own, any more than you can have the American Flag as your own. You don't own either one, because you don't really respect them.

America is back to leading the world. America First.

Translation:
”We must force the American taxpayer to foster the world...we must buy friendships...asking the rest of the world to do their part on their own isn’t reasonable ...we are a wealthy nation therefore we must enjoy being suckers...we must learn to smile as the world drills our ass.”

After we take care of our own people THEN we can discuss assisting others. 60,000 homeless in Los Angeles alone, call us when that problem is solved.

Yep. Slogans are only appropriate if they have real meaning.

We should be the leader of the free world. You lead by being engaged.

...engaged in bending over and letting the world fuck America up the ass.

This thread belongs in political satire.

Trump wanted American policy to serve American interests.


Any ally that would have a problem with that, is not really an ally.

just because I'm tired of bashing you, explain which countries pay us vs us paying them?

America First means the President of the United States of America works for Americans, not the world.

This was the Washington establishment pissed that Trump threw a monkey wrench in their China money corruption schemes. What better way for politicians to launder money than to funnel billions to China then take kickbacks and skims.

He complained like a little bitch every time America was expected to give anything.

Trump had no concept of what diplomacy is. He can’t understand mutual interest

This is how you people don't understand leadership.

It's about OUR best interests. Being the leader is best for America.

You guys have no idea what real leadership is. You'd rather be paranoid.

Working as part of a global community is in our interests.
The US against the world is not in our interests

Oh how naive.

Working as part of the global community does not mean that we have to bend over and take it up the ass every single fucking time.

The world got used to America bending over.

America First. Leader of the Free World.

since when is that our objective? Leader of what world? name someone we lead? Putin? well I thought Mueller was to prove he was using us before the election, so return to that? I know, you are merely confused with what is America, I get it.

Wow, look at this.

Now Trumpsters don't even WANT to be the leader.

Look at what this has done to you people.

Oh, please.

Name one trade deal that has favored American interests above any other interest.

One.

You can't. I'll bet you can't even name one that gave the US equal footing.

This is the fundamental difference. You may be a pillow biter, but the rest of us don't like it. We want to stop giving our money away to the rest of the world.

Look at post 76. They even want to hide from being Leader of the Free World.

Let somebody else do it. We don't have the balls any more.

Then hide.
