    ...it has been said that No man is an island unto himself...

    ...it's very obvious that this does not apply to Donald Trump...and his island is growing smaller every day.

    Yep. This admin has done more to discredit and damage the legitimacy of US Politics, moreso than any 4 presidents over decades.....

    Funny in a way, soon won't be one moron who will accept the prestige of ever working for the idiot imposter potus....not for prestige, not for money, only for the good of the American People, which Trixon has never had the interests of the masses in mind anyway. The EU and others, have got to think the US has flat out lost any thing we ever had, that made this once great nation a legit source and force in all aspects. Then one swine fks it all up......... Wouldn't of been better with Hillary, just saying this is a bad embarrassing time to be an American defending our rights to "free elections" of which we do NOT have......

    I'd imagine foreign nations think the US is run more like the dkheads tv show.....someone fire his ass now, please....!

    EU really doesnt care who the American President is as long as we prevent them from having to speak Russian. And for that they have always hated us because they know they can't fend for themselves and the only economy that could protect them are the Germans and they dont trust Germany with a big military anymore. SO the US and article 5 is all they have.

    ^^^yup, haters gonna hate.

    ...but Trump's concept of foreign policy is sorely lacking. His campaign was partially predicated on him and his followers pointing to the claim that he "wasn't a politician"...the problem is that being POTUS is very much a "political" position.

    Would be great if McCain did a press conference and thrashed the idiot.

    Also....how much time and money is this asshole wasting with rallies...how about proposing that repeal and replace with better coverage for ALL that he guaranteed the country....or is he too busy with his generals still and their plan to wipe ISIS off the map...still waiting mr twitter

    POTUS needs to be diplomatic, agreed. However the politics only really comes into play domestically because as far as the constitution is concerned, POTUS has no competition when it comes to representing the US. That said, Trumps "style" of diplomacy isnt really a style. He has no style, like he has no real plan, like he has no core values. The guy is a builder and by definition he follows the winds of opportunity in search of a buck. I'd venture to say that this is probably the first real job he has ever had. And that he lacks the life skills to figure it out.

    That said, I can make the same argument as to why the college professor/community organizer Obama also lacked the life skills to do the job. But he at least had skin color, a fawning media, and a more eloquent speaking style (meaning that it sounded better even when he spoke with his foot in his mouth).

    The last President that had any executive experience was W as gov of Texas. Heck his leadership of the Rangers was far better preparation for POTUS than anything we've had the last 10 years. If that doesn't make you say WTF....I give up, lol!

    ...the only barometer that Trump can claim any success thus far is when he's compared to Obama...still doesn't give me that warm and fuzzy feeling.

    :twothumbs::clap::clap:

    ntm- W, learned just prior to becoming POTUS how to fk over the tax paying public, with his minor investment in the Rangers, and turning over an approximate 4Mil investment into a 40 Mil buy out, only after talking the taxpayers into paying for the new stadium.... ka ching time to cash out and be Prez....

    Trumps wrote the book on how to rip off and fk over taxpayers to pay for his lavish bs lifestyle. I'd love to see him groveling in the gutters of Atlantic City....:devilwink:

    I have NEVER ever seen a speech by a POTUS when the Media continously cut away from the speech, saying for example, (to paraphrase): "well now he's said what little we needed to hear, and now he's just bloating himself up, patting his back now, nothing really to hear other than him stroking himself"....'just more endless, needless rhetoric on how great he is'....;

    "Make America Great Again"

    Since when was America never great???????????????????????
    yeah- i know this nation has had it's weaker moments, yet has always remained great despite a few fk ups, which were corrected,

    -ie Carter's failed attempt to rescue hostages in Iran.
    -Nixon's Watergate
    -Nixon's turning the Natl. Guard on Kent State, peaceful unarmed demonstrators
    -LBJ's discontinuing blanket bombing of N-Vietnam. One more week and the north -would of failed; and the TET Offensive would of never occurred..
    -Clinton's blow job fiasco
    -Obuma's entire admin and time in office...

    yet none of these alone ever made America not great....

    wrong Kelly, he needs to be cutting Kellyanne Conway loose; I can't sit and listen to one word the dumb bitch has to say. Talk about one dumb fkng broad, whose a true air head, with nothing worthy to say....

    Trump had to of been the kind of adolescent in school, which peaceful loving kids couldn't wait until lunch, to kick his ass on the playground...

    right......... not/

    first thing he'd do is bankrupt the team, both financially and physcially, ....

    ^^^^ ROFLOL, Trump couldn't lend a hand to one in need if he were an Octopus...

    Washington "supposedly couldn't tell a lie".... (myth of course)

    Trump cannot tell the truth, a repetive problem.... (fact of course)...
