We have work that needs to be done at home as well. It's not fair for the American people to be ignored while our politicians sell our country out and build a mountain of debt for the next generation. It's not fair for American tax payers to watch their wealth squandered the way it so often is.
That has absolutely nothing to do with America being a world leader.
American wealth is squandered because they're too lazy to do anything about it.
Healthcare... we pay twice as much as the socialized world. We spend more in public dollars per person and then pay for it out of pocket. That's squander.
Middle East... our military leadership has failed for over a decade. You can't beat ideology with a standing army, this isn't something new.
War on drugs... of course by this I'm not referring to heroin or cocain, but rather cannabis. It's cost the US trillions on the national level and local, instead we could be legalizing it and it we could see a big reduction in incarceration (another broken system, more criminals come out of the justice system then go in) and potentially a very large boost in tax revenue and jobs.
Public schools... I'm all for public education. I'm not for the administrative beaurocracy that has taken over the school systems.
Again. Nothing to do with world leadership, which is actually beneficial for the American economy.
This is where having a foreign journalist reporting is valuable, because it is someone who doesn't belong to one team or the other, and simply states what they observe. This guy nails it, he is 100% accurate with his observations of our President at G20.
It is really great to have a president on the job doing what is best for our country. So glad I don't have to worry that our country is being given away and we are being sold out like we were with NAFTA. I don't care whether he is popular or not. I didn't vote for him to be a prom queen. Go Trump go! And I will keep praying for you and your family.

Yes, and we need more Republicans to follow the lead of Sens. Graham and McCain and put country ahead of party. They were sharply critical of how Trump folded like a towel at the feet of Putin. The nation needs to collectively ask the President to resign, for the good of the country and it would be good for him as well. You can tell he doesn't like the job and isn't comfortable doing it.

From the link: ABC’s political editor Chris Uhlmann didn’t pull any punches when he delivered his wrap-up of Trump’s appearance at the conference, calling him an “uneasy, lonely, awkward figure” who was left “isolated and friendless” with “no desire and no capacity to lead the world”.
Many of the world leaders who attended the G20 have invested heavily and wholly in progressive policies, climate change, open borders, and unrestricted refugee intake. They have invested their careers, their places in history, and their credibility. To open their arms to Trump compromises all of that because he represents none of those "values". He is the antithesis of everything they stand for and believe in. And he threatens the world order that so many leaders have worked to establish.
1. They are supposed to be world leaders. World leaders work to find common ground that is in the best interests of their nations and their peoples. They don't need to be friends. They need to find ways to work together for the common good. Trump has appealed to that end in his speeches domestically and on the world stage. If you haven't heard that, then you haven't been listening. If these world leaders don't embrace that end, it is on them. Not on Trump
2. I don't care whether world leaders like him, respect him or support him. I just care that they don't sabotage him. I care if they are big enough people (or not) to find common ground and work towards common goals.
3. Trump stands alone in the world in many regards. He is swimming against the tide on the world stage. Holding firm on positions he described during the campaign and that were embraced by those who voted for him, and holding firm on the promises he made. I have more respect for him every day.
4. Finally........I don't understand why liberals in this country point to other world leaders as justification for their blind, red-hot hatred of Trump. I don't understand why they have not figured out yet that WE DON'T CARE that other world leaders don't like Trump. This is the big leagues. Not grade school. I don't care if the popular kids all sit together at one table and the outcast sits alone at the other table eating the peanut butter sandwich that his mother packed for him. And somehow, I don't think that Trump cares either.
Sadly 40% of the country are too stupid to realize any of the that. Look at the disgusting cult worshippers on this board.
While I am sure a lot of the strong Trump supporters on here are basically good people, I think we have all seen that they definitely have a different mindset and understanding of how the world works. Most of us look at Donald Trump and realize he is not that bright, rude, opinionated, vindictive, bigoted, insecure, and self centered. But his cult see all of those flaws as him "Saying what he thinks" and the opposite of what most people see as normal.
Not only has Donald Trump been a negative influence here at home, he has alienated every other country and turned them against us, and we have lost so much respect in the international community in the last 6-8 months that we may never be the strongest nation in the world ever again.
If I were a Prepper, or religious person, I might view what we are seeing as the end of times. Whatever it is, it is certainly not good.
