What foreign countries think of Trump has more to do with the way Trump has treated them than anything else.You know, Mr. CrusaderFrank, my stomach churned when I heard a French leader wailing on President Trump the other day, but on the other hand, I thank God that we're not the only ones who have freedom of speech. So I am a little disappointed in France for snubbing our president the way they did, but even so, I'm not changing my middle name, which was my grandma's middle name, too, and it is French. I don't know if I have French blood, but we are all related, imho since Adam and Eve, so I hope the French have a change of heart about President Trump and those of us who are glad he is turning our economy toward better times, because when America has profitably, the history has shown and will show others prosper. I hope their critiques of this fiscally gifted fellow will soften as years pass, and they too, recover losses from years past that were market disasters when America prospers. And you can say this, that and the other about President Trump, but he wins when it comes to prosperity. I'm just sorry the loyal opposition is so craven in their negativism as to make foreign countries think of our leadership in such unfriendly terms.Speaking of worthless, do you have a clue how the world actually operates these days? The "going it alone" nationalism in a globally connected world is no longer a successful strategy. We are now seeing China step in to take a greater role due to our abdication.
You know compared to the USA, France is a fucking rounding error. Who the fuck needs to pay attention to them?
How so?
Trump pointed out very publicly that Germany had a revolving door between politicians and Russian gas/oil companies and that because they were highly dependent their policies were manipulated by Russia. Merkel went on and on about how they would never allow Russia to dictate policy. But, she sure as hell didn't deny that revolving door. And it shouldn't surprise anyone.
In fact, that has been a problem with Europe. So prior the election there was a bunch of blowhardiness anti-Russian sentiment. It looked like war drums were beating to just go take it. Then manipulated protests with human rights ngo folks started popping up in Russia.
Look, I am not a Trump fan. He is a bull in a China shop. He has anywhere from 2 to 6 years left. We are going to survive this.
