Oh, and he showed up 28 minutes late. Does he think he's Putin or something?

What an embarrassment!

What countries are in recession? Can you name them?

Even Germany is not in recession - Germany narrowly avoids recession as growth ticks up

If Trump is re-elected, he will continue to poke sticks everywhere to cause trouble, but he will never be respected in the International community. If someone else is president, the international community will cautiously see what the USA has planned.
Yep, it is called relationships and the u.s. today sucks at it. I'd have to go back to ancient foreign policies to see if what I'm about to say is true, but, it seems that the u.s. Presidents from one to the next always passed on the keeping of the word from one to the next. They seem to keep their eye on the ball ... one might get their panties in a wad over something, but when push came to shove and they saw $$$ floating away, they grew a pair --- keep those trade relations going and cheaper goods flowing in the u.s.

I guess the u.s. thinks it is too big to fail, but then again, this is what the people wanted and why Trump is there --- stop the foreign aid, pull the military, charge 'em outrageous tariffs and we have been down this similiar road before, American Isolationism in the 1930s, but one thing we haven't done, no President that I know of anyway, is treat to our allies as if they were gum on the bottom of their shoe. It's like is he so obsessed with Obama, (apology tour) that, he's bending over backwards to be the exact polar opposite? No one likes to be disrespected ... I don't care who you are, you'll find some place else to be and better people to do things with ... that is how a new coalition will be formed as they will move on.

The one the one thing the rich man keeps in the back his mind, is the knowing is all it takes to poor again, is that one mistake he can't take back. The u.s. is not to big to fail.


But the one thing I have to say about Trump, he is unique ... his ego will hit a room, long before he even shows up.

Seems like Trumps groupies never quit singing his praises. Too bad that they can’t see the puppet master for who he is...

Putin leads Trump around by the nose. Never before in American history has a U.S. president been under the control of a Russian leader the way Trump has.

The UN, OTOH, is a huge joke, as is anyone who would use them as a yardstick to measure our POTUS.
