So some said.
Others say different.
Regardless, another year and it will be almost as if had he never been.
Trump isn't a buffoon. he is quite effectively carrying his pro-elite wealth agenda. Just like the democrats carry out when they are in power. This isn't a Trump issue. Making it so is completely misunderstanding how the country works.So some said.

Nope. Universally liked around the world. In another year most Americans will be looking back on his presidency as the good old days. Currently, The Orange Buffoon keeps on inventing new ways of fucking things up. I thought he was going to be bad president, but I didn't predict the total train wreck he has become.
It's an opinion piece, very short on anything other than the author's personal outlook, and that was rather wanting.This article is childish. The Economist should be ashamed of themselves.
Why? Which part is incorrect?
It's an opinion piece, very short on anything other than the author's personal outlook, and that was rather wanting.
I just get tired of reading articles that say things like "undermining the deal with Iran". Without mentioning that there is a plethora folks out there pointing to flaws in the agreement. There are serious issues with trade deals like NAFTA, many worried TPP would be a repeat. This article speaks as if the wonders of such agreements are self evident.
I'm not even remotely a Trump fan but pieces like this just seem to ramble on without substance.
I particularly find the author's take on "soft power" puzzling. It's as if they missed the last 8 years. "emboldens autocrats to behave worse". As compared to the last 8 years? As far as I'm concerned, I don't know if US "soft power" has ever been lower. Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, what's changed?
Again I'm not a big Trump fan, I just find articles like this to be worthless and simplistic. The biggest takeaway I get is the author doesn't like Trump, no substance included.
Well, go through the list.It's an opinion piece, very short on anything other than the author's personal outlook, and that was rather wanting.

Totally disagree. As I said, plenty of facts in the article.
· Mr Trump had suggested that he would scrap trade deals, ditch allies, put a figurative bomb under the rules-based global order and drop literal ones willy-nilly.
· NATO was “obsolete”, he said;
· NAFTA was “the worst trade deal maybe ever”;
· and America was far too nice to foreigners.
· he has pulled America out of the Paris accord, making it harder to curb climate change,
· abandoned the Trans-Pacific Partnership
· He has not started any wars.
· He has stepped up America’s defence of Afghanistan’s beleaguered government, and helped Iraq recapture cities from IS.
· He has not started a needless row with China over Taiwan’s ambiguous status, as he once threatened to do.
· He warms to strongmen, such as Mr Putin and Xi Jinping.
· He has gutted the State Department
· He undermines and contradicts his officials without warning, and makes reckless threats against Kim Jong Un, whose paranoia needs no stoking.
· Trump has yet to be tested by a crisis.
· He remains wedded to a zero-sum view of the world, in which exporters “win” and importers “lose”.
· Trump has made clear that he favours bilateral deals over multilateral ones
· He openly scorns the notion that America should stand up for universal values such as democracy and human rights.
· Not only does he admire dictators; he explicitly praises thuggishness, such as the mass murder of criminal suspects in the Philippines. He does so not out of diplomatic tact, but apparently out of conviction.
· In Saudi Arabia this week, where the crown prince’s dramatic political purges met with Mr Trump’s blessing (
My overall point is that this article just throws talking points and half facts around like they are indisputable facts that somehow prove that Trump is in fact the next Hitler. It's not helpful.
The Economist is citing those "facts" as evidence of "America's dwindling influence" due to Trump. Sorry I just don't see it. Not to mention that this list has a lot of opinion in it. Being nice to foreigners, putin & jinping, zero sum game, scorn for human rights, opinion. Nafta, NATO, TPP, Paris Accords, none of those is inherently incorrect.My overall point is that this article just throws talking points and half facts around like they are indisputable facts that somehow prove that Trump is in fact the next Hitler. It's not helpful.
They are not saying Trump is the next Hitler. And my only point was there were facts in there. Things he said. Things he has done. You're not refuting them, you just giving your opinion on why Trump either did those thing, or said those things. That's fine, but when all is said and done, those things are just your opinion. The Economist - as it generally does do - was giving facts.
You say that yet we both know you can’t explain why.What a steaming pile of Liberal horse shit. Completely, utterly WRONG.
What a steaming pile of Liberal horse shit. Completely, utterly WRONG.
All of it is nothing but regurgitated leftist sewage. And.....flush.What a steaming pile of Liberal horse shit. Completely, utterly WRONG.
Which part is wrong? Take your time.
That aside, I get no joy from this. The world needs a strong America. I think it is has reached its apex. It'll be downhill for a while....just hope it isn't terminal.
For all your flaws, you have long been the greatest force for Evil on THE USMB.For all its flaws, America has long been the greatest force for good in the world, upholding the liberal order and offering an example of how democracy works. All that is imperilled by a president who believes that strong nations look out only for themselves. By putting “America First”, he makes it weaker, and the world worse off.

Trump is a foreign policy disaster.
His gutting of the State Department being one of many examples.

And WTF is "The Liberal Order?" Does that mean to lube up your ass and bend over & take Putin's Cock up your ass while you take his bribes and sell him 20% of our strategic Uranium like Obama Jizz Lips did?
Fuck, you are an awful liar as well. Go get bent, and by that, I don't mean doing something you enjoy with other men.

His gutting of the State Department being one of many examples of his accomplishments. The Obama-Hillary state dept was a disaster for everyone in America, except for some jihadists (like Huma Abedin)
Trump's foreign policy is a huge success and is, right now, fixing the horrible Asian outsourcing mess created previously. One of these successes is making North Korean president, Kim Jong Un back down, as he has done, due to Trump's tough stance.
It's called draining the swamp.Trump is a foreign policy disaster.
His gutting of the State Department being one of many examples.
