He can talk to whoever he wants.

The reds can pound sand.

Pissing off China is not exactly the same as pissing off BLM. There's already a lot bad blood between China and the U.S. as it is.

This is why withdrawing from TPP is not a good thing. China will step in and fill the power vacuum in the region.

please don't let rational thought and long term strategic planning get in the way of a good tweet as backbone of foreign policy.....

You're just going to have to deal with it. That's all I'm saying.

I have no dog in this fight as I'm apolitical.

But the fact remains Trump is who he is and never changed throughout the last 16 months. That's what his supporters wanted. He won. So there it is.

You can't argue with that from a philosophical approach. Why would he change now if he has won every round thus far against every opponent?

I picture Trump supporters reacting in complete surprise when Trump is suddenly hiding in a bunker. "They thought he was doing such a good job!"

So? They demand repayment we just devalue the currency like they did. They will not be in a hurry to call that note in.

No, Trump supporters are going to have to deal with it. This is the guy they chose in spite of all the warnings, even from Republicans. They own this 100% and they own ever mess Trump makes as does the Republican Party since there is no one to blame. Republicans will have no opposition, no checks, no balances, so this and everything else Trump does will 100% fall on Trump and the Republican party.

I think this four years may feel like 20!

How long before he gets us into a war or a real mess that affects the entire country? I can't even see him lasting a year without causing major harm.

This is like owning an auto dealership and hiring your best car salesman to be your top mechanic.
