One thing he, his administration and oultets like Fox news keep shouting/bleating/putting out is that since Trump became President the United States is much more respected and liked around the world than when Obama was President.

Given what I've read and seen about how Trump was welcomed in England, that balloon baby was a brilliant touch, as well as what happened at the UN recently and what world leaders have said in not so private moments, I think Trump and Fox news are full of shit.

But what about all y'all who don't live in the US, do you have more or less respect for the US since Trump took office? If you could say what country you're from as well that'd be swell.

Oh, and if I think I'm a horrible person for saying Trump is full of shit, knock yourself out, staying within forum rules of course.

Thanks.

There needs to be a clear line in the sand

Politicians dont represent a nation or its people imho
- Democracy got hijacked eons ago by the ultra rich & powerful
You get to select who they want you to

I can imagine a Jeff Foxworthy throw away joke line of

"You might be a redneck if you voted for Trump"


Trouble is those on the otherside are just as self serving while pretending to care
Plenty of voters saw through the party machines on both sides

Hilary only just won against Sanders

The Republican power brokers didnt want Trump and still dont

I lost respect for the politicians on the left & right worldwide
a long time before the Trump arrived.

Still US of A Presidents are only in for 2 terms (8 years) unlike
China & Russia where it now appears to be life.

I'm sure there are a lot of average Americans that are well worth knowing
just like everywhere else in the world - those in power not so much

I have less respect for the US people and media who feel that it is respectable and acceptable to bad mouth the leader of the free world.

That's the whole point of having a free world,Would You rather that it was against the law ?

No, he wasn't beloved or even liked in Democratic circles and to claim otherwise is a bullshit lie. He has always been looked at with disdain or outright loathing by those on the left because of his misogyny, infidelity and bilking those who have worked for him as well as the virulent bigotry and racism that runs through his entire family history.

Trump is a shithead bully from Queens who has always desperately wanted acceptance from the movers and shakers crowd in Manhattan all of whom want nothing to do with him because they see him for the shithead classless gross bully he truly is.

Really??

tell us, what personal fortune did Obama lose and when did this occur, because i sure as fuck don't recall ever reading or seeing or hearing about it and you can be damn sure your pals at FAUXNews would have been endlessly gleefully bleating about if it had occurred.

So, according to you, finding and killing the most wanted person in the history of the entire universe, the mastermind behind the worst attack on the United States in the history of the universe, that was a failure.

How can that ever be seen as a failure?

Especially since your bestest ever pal George Bush publicly stated on numerous occasions that he had given up looking for and finding bin Ladin because the US had "more important things to do." Like what, I mean besdies shitting the bed forever when it comes to relations between the US and the entire Muslim world and letting Iraq descend into madness and anarchy. Which you obviously think are marvelous wonderful things.

Shutup,can you think of anything you do like?

When Mueller unleashes his case against Trump, if it is anywhere near as voluminous as I believe it will be, more than enough Republican Senators will be compelled to "dump" Trump. Then this clown show will finally end and some sense of normality with return.

Clack Clack Clack
