    Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

        In case the conservatives here in their fake-news bubbles haven't seen this-week's stories:
        Trump reportedly told EU officials Germany is 'bad, very bad'
        Watch President Trump push a prime minister aside
        Trump insults allies in a speech to NATO
        Trump’s behavior at NATO is a national embarrassment

        Those can be added to the general background of these older stories:
        Trump refused to shake Angela Merkel's hand
        Trump calls NATO 'obselete'
        Trump tried 11 times to get Merkel to agree to a trade agreement between the US and Germany and she had to tell him 11 times that only the EU as a whole can make trade agreements
        Donald Trump 'printed out fake £300bn Nato invoice and handed it to Angela Merkel' (hopefully she brought one of those oversized fake TV checks to NATO to pay him with!)
        "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
        "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
        "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

            This one is rather funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iimj0j4NYME

            No need to put too much into it, but it is a good laugh.

              Could not help myself. I had to quote this:

              "Thomas Wright, the director of the Centre on United States and Europe and the Brookings Institution, described the Nato leg of Trump’s European tour as “a policy failure of epic proportions” that “increases the risk that Putin will test him in the years ahead.”"

                Yup, asking the various European leaders to quit shirking and be responsible for paying their promised share for the upkeep of NATO was absolutely horrendous

                  It seems that Putin is getting what he paid for re NATO. Next comes the lifting of sanctions against Russia. .

                    My favorite part in that article is when they invoked the infamous "body language experts" to try and determine if Trump's trip was a success or not.



                    From what it looks like, certain members of NATO are pissed that the President asked them to start carrying their own weight instead of expecting the US to do all the heavy-lifting. If that's a "policy failure of epic proportions" then I look forward to more "policy failures" in the future.
