He looked the Europeans straight in the eye and called them deadbeats even as they smirked at him. Trudeau doesn't have that luxury.... Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Best riot some more. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

All he's done so far is further isolate America. And yes, there were a lot of smirks during his first trip away. I see no reason why it will stop. He now wants a "war room". Which pretty much looks like a pouting kid kicking everybody out of his sand box. He just fails to realize it's not all his sandbox. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Posted May 31, 2017 For old folks who remember, here is an interesting piece on the Odd Couple....Donald Trump and Charles de Gaulle: Quote De Gaulle and Trump, for all their differences, are similar in various ways. Both express themselves by direct appeal. De Gaulle remarked in The Edge of the Sword: "one does not move crowds other than by basic feeling, violent images, brutal innovations." Trump promoted American unity in his populist-like rhetoric. De Gaulle and Trump both quarreled with supposed partners: de Gaulle with Britain and the U.S., and Trump with fellow members of NATO. In his politics of French grandeur, de Gaulle withdrew France from NATO's military command, launched an independent nuclear development program, and proposed a Europe of sovereign states rather than a supranational Europe. Similarly Trump, so far, has been cautious about the value of international organizations, even if still supportive of NATO. http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/66209 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Wilber Posted May 31, 2017 Report Posted May 31, 2017 All Tump has done is divide but this is causing others to unite. His arrogance and ignorance may be the salvation of the EU as demonstrated by the rejection of Le Pen and the boost it has given Merkel. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice".

Then Trump is doing the broken EU a biggly favour, same as he has lead Canada to diversify its export portfolio. They should be thanking President Trump for weaning them off of the American hegemon.
