All we hear about is Trump or "45" and whatnot. Its his perrogative I guess. For us non US citizens, gets annoying. Like there is nothing else happening in the world but Trump. Jeez.
Nobody asks about the Portuguese Prez. But then he is a bookworm insomniac workaholic. I guess its boring for the press. Last time the press was talking a lot about him was for a heat stroke he had a few days ago. Well he is not getting any younger.
I don't care what part of the world you live in. Trump has power, Trump isn't using that power in constructive way. His words have a direct effect on not just domestic policy, but garner a reaction in global diplomacy. If you value your own safety, Trump should be everyone's focus. Merkel lived and understood the cold war era. The states that lived under the former Soviet Union including a split Germany, ANYONE who is old enough, and values the west, will tell you he should not be ignored, even if you don't live in America.
Is America the only country on the planet? Of course not, but right now the world is under threat because of his inept and dangerous behavior.
Sad that it took this NATO meeting to get even Paul Ryan to defend NATO. Too bad that fucking coward couldn't muster the strength to be more verbal during Trump's run.
We do not live on a separate planet. I wish the planet could ignore that orange jackass, but right now, the world should not ignore him.
