That's silly. Russia isn't genocidal. Trump probably isn't either. He's just a racist who wants to make America white again.

I do think he might end up going to war with Iran though, quite possibly inadvertently.

And he would no doubt underestimate Iran and when we start losing the war the idiot would start thinking about nuking Iran.

It is weird that a man can be both friends with Bannon and Netanyahu.

Must be an awkward Seder dinner.

 

[Marvolo]

Benji probably thinks Trump is a ****bag, but Trump and the GOP will kiss Benji's ass and give him whatever he wants and will let him get away with anything short of nuking the US so Benji will play nice with Trump and his goons.

 

[Charlatan]

I'm not going to dignify him by calling him president. Bannon's mouthpiece is a more fitting title. If everyone in the media started talking about Bannon being the power behind the throne then it would drive him crazy and he might even fire him.

I wouldn't be surprised if both Bannon and Benji thought of Trump as a useful idiot.

 

[TheCommissioner]

just read about the idiot in the WH attempting to threaten Mexico

 

[Matt Mortem]

This **** with Mexico is a bad, bad thing. He's threatening an ally?

 

[TheCommissioner]

basically

reportedly told Nieto that "you have a bad cartel problem, maybe if your troops can't take care of it, ours will"

 

[Thundercrack85]

Honestly, I did not see a war with Mexico coming.

 

[jmc]

Well, apparently he got bored with our Prime Minister on Saturday and ended what should have been a 60 min phone call after 25 mins. Great job guys, keep it up and you'll have no-one on your side.

 

[The Overlord]

Yes he is:

He also berate the Prime Minister of Australia for some insane reason:

More diplomacy from the Mad King.

If Trump continues like this, anti Americanism will be at an all time high across the globe, no one will be America's ally, countries will be openly hostile or will act friendly in your face and despise you behind your backs.

Good luck finding Muslims will help America defeat terrorists, after this ban that will alienate Muslims.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I think if Trump antagonizes Canada and Mexico too much Congress will have to step in. We can't have adversaries on both borders. It's madness.

I wouldn't count on it; this congress is completely and utterly spineless.

The Prime Minister of Canada is a tough position, the Canadian public loathes Trump and some want Trudeau to actively condemn Trump, but Trudeau does not to risk the Canadian economy being the target of Trump's wrath.

So Trudeau is acting like a man locked in a room with a psycho, he is trying to be nice so the psycho does not attack him, but he really does not like his current situation.

How long will the GOP allow Trump to damage relations with other countries? Would they ever step in if Trump continues this reckless approach to international relations?

 

[Thundercrack85]

I would think others would step in before this so-called GOP.

 

[Sithborg]

I mean, being completely unhinged is a reason to trigger the 25th, right? Right? Please?

 

[Marvolo]

basically

reportedly told Nieto that "you have a bad cartel problem, maybe if your troops can't take care of it, ours will"

If Obama had done that the GOP would have went ape ****.

Yep, Trump diplomacy at it's finest.

"Hey Mexico! The immigrants you send us, they're murdering, drug-dealing, rapists. I also have this multi-billion dollar wall I want built, gonna put it on your tab. That wall BTW, is to keep you Mexicans out. I'm also raising tariffs on you by 20%. Oh, one last thing, if you don't clean up your cartel problem, I'm sending our troops into your country to do it for you".

You can only poke something so many times before it bites your hand. Also that tone he took, sounds exactly like what he said to Chicago. Does he think our army is just something to wave around?

Either way, don't expect this to set well with other nations. I hope it's just bluster, and hot air, but America or not, the world will intervene if we start sending troops into our allies borders against their will with no looming threat. This isn't Afghanistan where we can somewhat tie it to the war on terrorism that stemmed from being attacked. Or even Iraq where we claimed a dictator had nukes. Cartels have been in Mexico for awhile, and while they are dangerous, it's not like they're actively plotting an attack on America.

If Trump's environmental choices don't screw us in the long run, his approach to foreign policy will. This is stuff that causes long term wounds.

 

[Fading]

If Obama had done that the GOP would have went ape ****.

It really is frustrating. This is like item #20 just from when Trump got in office where the republicans are doing the exact same things they spent 8 years complaining about. Yet they have the power. A guy like McConell can be a complete, utter hypocrite, even acting smug about it, and completely get away with it. Seriously, McConell annoys me so much, lol. Republicans can spend 8 years calling Obama a liar, and obstructing him. Now they say democrats are babies if they don't fall in line behind Trump. Even some, not all, but some republican voters agree 100% with those statements.


It's like the nation suddenly got the memory of a goldfish, and don't see, or acknowledge the hypocrisy. It's hair pulling frustrating at times.

 

[Marvolo]

Trump is behaving like a spoiled brat. A monarch basically.

The Mad King is a good name for him.

 

[TheCommissioner]

and reportedly hung up on the Australian PM

 

[Kelly]

CONGRESS will do absolutely nothing. Party before country.

Just watch what Trump will do to the two women Republican Senators who are going to vote against DeVos for Sec. of Education.

From a CNN reporter:

"POTUS "conversations with foreign leaders are making their faces turn white," source says."
