    Hitler had his eyes on the east not the west.

    France shouldn't have declared war in Germany and then quickly surrender.

    America always had its eyes on the west.

    But since Jimmy Carter America has been falling back.

    Now America has its eyes on the north.

    Today Greenland...tomorrow Iceland and Canada will have no choice but to join America or build a wall.

    Marginally funny, but nothing Trump says rings genuinely funny to me.... Strange, Horrible, Inappropriate, Callous, Ridiculous, Yes.... But not funny.

    Mostly just sad....

    Trumps right - you don’t talk to America like that....

    Oh wait..... They are in NATO.... lol
    They couldn’t fight there way out of a wet paper bag, but we have to defend them.

    Trump should just pull us out of NATO which is a total joke. We have to send our military to defend Turkey who has hated us for years.

    Why in the world would we defend a country that hates us and burns our flag in demonstrations quite often.

    I didn’t mean to spin this into a NATO post, but I am sick of these countries that can’t defend themself disrespecting the most powerful nation on earth.

    They need us, more than we need them !

    Any sanctions Trump imposed upon Russia was only because of all the indictments of Russians. Then and only then, after the indictments and proof by Robert Mueller that Russia hacked our election did Trump reluctantly impose sanctions AFTER the insistence of both parties in Congress. Trump signed the legislation, which passed with veto-proof majorities, he did so reluctantly, calling the bipartisan legislation “significantly flawed.”

    Only under intense pressure to confront Russia did Trump's administration place more sanctions on Vladimir Putin's government over a nerve agent attack on a former Russian spy living in Britain. It was the second round of sanctions over the 2018 attempt to kill former Russian military intelligence officer Sergei Skripal in the British town of Salisbury. Trump didn't want to do it, but he was literally forced to place more sanctions on Russia by Congress and England.

    Spoken like a true bully. We're WAY better than that. Current president and his supporters excepted, of course.

    They've lost 50 soldiers helping us in Afghanistan. Perhaps you should be grateful instead of dismissive.

    I hate to play this age old game, but who started it??

    What exactly did the PM of Denmark do or say that disrespected America? Did she call NFL players "Sons of bitches"? Did she touch the American flag in an inappropriate way? Did she offer to buy Maryland?

    I've read most of her remarks, and if her calling the idea absurd is it (which I personally disagree with) Trump has nothing except microscopically thin skin... Nobody else in America would feel disrespected at that...

    There's way more here than meets the eye...

    Yes it is sad and sickening to the soul to realize how far this country has sunk. If you have Netflix, I recommend the new series called The Family. I have yet to watch episode one which aired on Netflix Aug. 7th, but several people have seen the first 3 episodes and tell me that I can't afford not to watch it.

    https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/20...y-netflix-donald-trump-chosen-jesse-interview

    [snip]What if we told you that an extremely private Christian sect believed Donald Trump was chosen by God to rule, and even helped get him elected? What if we said this sect wielded enormous influence in governments around the world? What if this wasn’t a conspiracy theory, but a provable phenomenon?
    The Family, a shocking six-part documentary series on Netflix, delves into this group, called the Fellowship. Religion writer Jeff Sharlet first heard of the Fellowship after joining Ivanwald, a house in Arlington, VA where young men live, pray, and tend to the Fellowship’s D.C. connections. After witnessing the Fellowship’s blurring of church and state first-hand, Sharlet went full undercover and wrote a book, now turned into a Netflix documentary. Ever since The Family’s release on August 7, audiences have been reeling about its findings — and what they mean for understanding America’s current political climate.

    They lost 50 soldiers in a 18 year war?

    I didn’t realize people giving our soldiers water, were in danger.

    We don’t need Denmark, Turkey or or any of those countries that hate America.

    Interesting... Not sure what this has to do with Trump specifically, since the book on which this is based was written in 2009, but we bounced NetFlix in January....

    If Donald Trump was chosen by God to rule, God has some serious 'splaing to do.... But this theory is as good a reason as any for how the hell this bozo got elected AND has managed to avoid prison or impeachment so far...

    What she said was not that out of line, but we don’t need Denmark or anything from Denmark.

    My post was more about my desire to walk away from NATO, so we are not stuck sending our soldiers to die for countries like Turkey that hate us.

    Maybe you are surrounded by people who can have polite discussions with those with opposing views, but I live in Los Angeles and I am surrounded by angry liberals. There is zero chance for respectful debate here and from what I see on this forum, Trump is an accurate representation of our people. Sad.

    Well then, why was Trump scheduled to go to Denmark in the first place?? Not a golfing hotbed...

    The original reason for the formation of NATO is still applicable, substituting Russia for the Soviet Union. Until Russia is COMPLETELY no longer a threat to the world order (I.E. Not in my lifetime), NATO is here to stay...

    You keep thinking that.

    Meanwhile, the rest of the world continues to lose respect for us, thanks to Trump. Which makes us LESS safe, not more.

    Real leaders don't need weaker nations to suck up to them. Real leaders understand that a system of strong alliances is a HUGE force multiplier.

    Trump is not a real leader. He is weak, insecure and thin-skinned. He's the guy who does transparently dumb stuff, and when called on it, bellows "don't call me dumb!"

    Russia, North Korea and China love it. So does every tinpot dictator around the globe.

    Non-authoritarian people? Not so much.

    Just curious.... who do you want to be our next President?

    The last democrat I voted for for POTUS was Bill Clinton.

    I wish there was a moderate Democrat running that had a chance.

    The current “green new deal” clowns on the left are pathetic.

    Who is your candidate to beat trump?

    Denmark is tougher than Carter, just ask the
    Iranian hostages.

    Obama was a UN rump smoocher....
    He wanted the UN approval for everything.
