Honestly I think it's more a case that he's angry at Germans for ditching Nazism and Aryan ideology for peace and democracy. Remember what we're talking about here.

Harry Truman, what a loser. Broke the perfectly great aryan dictatorship in Germany. They had the will to make everything great again. They even made a movie about it. Sad.

No, I'm serious. I think he's melting on the inside.

Oh yeah, he's the wicked witch of the west all right.

No he's not. That would need Drumpfuck to be able to formulate plans and execute them, two things we know he's not capable of.

Case in point, this visit to Europe was supposed to be a full blown NATO conclave with a week long series of serious policy sessions, right up until the point when the State and Defence departments contacted the rest of the NATO countries and pleaded with them to downgrade it to a photo op and dinner, where stuff could be put to Trump that he would agree to and claim credit for, while being totally non-consequential.

Trump lets the Republican establishment do the thinking for him.

Isn't it just great how he lectures some NATO leaders for not paying their fare share? This coming from a man who's declared a LOT of bankruptcies.



Yeah, I'm tired and can't remember if someone said this or not. Don't feel like wading through pages to find out.

His lecture to Nato is weapons grade bullshit . No one owes America shit this is a military alliance not a country club. And even members that don't pay the 2% contribute in other ways . And this is not America doing the world a favor the alliance is important to America's security as well .

I could write an Obama survival guide now that I went through his administration. It was a learning experience for sure. Trump should be a breeze since he has no science to back him and his cohorts. Obama was an amazing president. he helped out a lot of people. Luckily Trump won't really be able to do much since the majority will rebel against him.

Astute point, except that I think Trump is too prideful to "allow" anyone to do anything.

But you're spot-on in the implication that he is a tool to be used, and discarded when his utility runs out. Spot-on.

I think Mitch McConnell has said he's now basically making the same decisions a Jeb Bush would. Or any standard Republican.

Thanks for the compliment.

“If you look at what the president is actually for,” he said, “it strikes me as indistinguishable from what a President Jeb Bush or a President Marco Rubio would have been advocating: Deregulation, tax reform, repeal and replace of Obamacare, judges like Neil Gorsuch.”

Trumps "leadership style" reminds of prime minster RB Bennett (he was PM during the depression ) He was often criticized to being over bearing  and arrogant and  autocratic when it came to decision making  . And may very well have extended to depression by 5 years in Canada . I think there is a lesson there .
