Need to get up to speed.
How low is low? What's the difference between a nod of the head and a bow at the waist?

But, I digress. What is it that you're fussing about?

Everyone was willing to give Trump a chance. My hope, even though I didn't vote for him, had always been that he was better than he appeared to be because, of course, how could he have "succeeded" if he was such a fool?

Turns out I was wrong.

And, he succeeded because he was a liar, crook and a con man, not because of any deep thinking or exceptional thinking, except how to SCAM others and the system.

So, instead of becoming presidential after inauguration, from day one Trump has been the moronic a-hole he proved himself to be on the campaign trail - tweeting about his crowd size, accusing Obama of wire-tapping, insulting all an sundry
- NONE OF WHICH WAS NECESSARY - AND ALL OF WHICH HE INITIATED.
The reason there has been no honeymoon is because Trump has been the stupid immature adolescent jerk he has always been from day one.

Where the hell is the ADULT Trump? We have NOT seen him yet - nor will we ever because the adult Trump does not exist.

The only decent words out of his mouth are speeches written by OTHERS. Trump couldn't formulate, much less write a decent, thoughtful, forward-thinking, aspirational, well-reasoned speech with the vocabulary of an educated adult if his life depended on it.

The world is aghast at this ignorant buffoon. Every citizen of the US should be very frightened.

It seems that President Trump is not well thought of by most world leaders and citizens of other nations. What are your thoughts?
With good reason... he's cutting off the meal ticket and free rides they have come to expect from us. I couldn't care less what some Western European socialist thinks about the US.

They're frightened so everyone else must be as well. It's an Orwellian thing I believe.

That not everyone is falling in line, like a goose stepping Borg, is the thing that frightens them the most.

He's a parasite. The world knows it, most Americans know it. But he has his supporters. Some might call them deplorable. I call them small minded. It's less harsh.

the same nations who sat on their hands while Russia invades crimea, christians wiped out from the middle east by the 'jv team' who revels in beheadings and crucifixions, think Trump is an embarassment?????????


The same people who cower before Putin and let muslims overrun their countries to the detrement of those countries have the gall to denegrate Trump and his policies the American people supported. to be embrassed by Trump is to be embarassed by anyone who voted for Trump.


Dems are so euro in that they cannot accept diversity of style. they remain rigid and unmoving in their traditions, spurning anyone who doesn't fit their elitist image. that is why many euro descendants are American citizens. Left the elitist class divided society on the far side of the Atlantic.
Your post is BS. Trump has no policies, he's all rhetoric and his supporters fell for it. The only one cowering to Putin is Trump. He believes him over our intelligence. What president does that. He has no idea how to run a country. God, I hope we still have one and aren't hated by the entire world when his term is over.

While you may be correct, that is not the understanding the bulk of us older folks think when hearing the word "abroad".

No one from Canada, for example, would use that word to describe visiting or studying in the U.S.. They would however use that word to describe doing either "overseas".
