If he can bottle that recipe and start each day in the Oval Office with a big gulp of it, his presidency gets a renewed chance to live up to its promises.
Trump’s clarity on the global stage was a reminder of why he was elected. Much as he did in the campaign on his best days, he cut through the BS to get to the heart of contentious issues and offer forceful solutions.
Under enormous scrutiny, he acted in the best traditions of American leadership on two continents by helping create a Muslim NATO to combat radical Islamists and by pushing the original NATO to face terrorism and financial facts.
Throughout the weeklong trip, which also included a substantive, friendly meeting with the pope and tense negotiations over trade and climate change, Trump showed the message discipline too often missing in the White House. And he did it without sacrificing his core convictions or puckish personality.
One priceless moment came as he stood in the $1.4 billion new NATO building in Brussels and referred to American taxpayers running out of patience with the alliance’s deadbeats. The incident no doubt cheered his supporters at home as much as it rankled the European elites, most of whom regard taxpayers as suitable only for fleecing, especially when they are American ~ Michael Goodwin, NY Post, read the full article, here.
Great trip.. he says in Israel 'I screwed Israel but I didn't reveal anything about Israel' and he says in Israel 'I just got back from the Middle east'

The Saudis played Trump and he tries to push a $110 billion arms deal to the Saudis. Saudi Arabia has spread its narrow, puritanical and intolerant version of Islam — originally practiced almost nowhere else — across the Muslim world. Osama bin Laden was Saudi, as were 15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists. The Saudi government, along with Qatar, has been “providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIS and other radical Sunni groups in the region.” Saudi nationals make up the second-largest group of foreign fighters in ISIS. 94 percent of deaths caused by Islamic terrorism since 2001 were perpetrated by ISIS, al-Qaeda and other Sunni jihadists. To be clear - the Saudis are Sunni, Iran is fighting those groups, they are Shia. Trump sees Iran as the threat when the threat is Sunni Islam. The Saudis played Trump. Follow the money. Trump registered 8 companies in Saudi Arabia in the last year.
The Saudi's are not building a nuclear bomb with the intent of taking out Israel. That would be Iran, you freaking moron. The Saudis are not a threat to the independent states in the Middle East. Again, that would be Iran, and again, you freaking moron.
Deletetrump knows of the Saudis aid to ISIS and is trying to get the Saudis to pull back from that. Obama did nothing in this regard. Why. Because he did not know how.
Trump was wildly successful on his trip overseas, except in Europe where Merkel insists on bring in 1 million more Muslims. She is a stupid lady and Trump stood up to here. Obama cowed to her every wish.
While you are busy blaming ISIS on the Sunni population, you twist the truth (as usual) in this regard. Sunni or not, ISIS is all about dominating the region. It is proxy to Iran. Most of the Sunni populations in the middle east are opposed to ISIS. Jordan is 90% Sunni. Diddo Saudi Arabia and Egypt with its 95 million people. All three are enemies of Iran, as well.
Obama has played you for the fool that you are.
"Sunni or not, ISIS is all about dominating the region. It is proxy to Iran." What? Iran is fighting ISIS, you idiot.
DeleteObama has killed far more Islamic terrorist leaders than any other president.
Your war stats are sheer crap. Bush killed more than 40,000 in the five year war in Iraq. American casualties for the 5 year war are the lowest in world history for a similar war effort . . . . something around 4400 killed. I don't know how many in Afghanistan, but since Obama surrendered the peace in Iraq and refused to seek "victory" in Afghanistan, the unreported number for Obama must be embarrassingly low since you can't find any official estimates from the battle field.
DeleteBush killed 40,000 women and kids. Obama has killed far more Islamic terrorist LEADERS than any other president. PERIOD.
DeleteNope. My numbers from the Iraqi government are enemy combatants only. Collateral is sadly, much higher. stop pretending that Obama knew how to fight a war.
DeleteWhatever the numbers, all agree that Bush won his war, including Barack and Biden. If Obama killed more of the enemy in Afghanistan and still lost the war, well, that should tell you, your numbers are a lie. You can't find a single credible source that supports your claim. But hey, you are the nutcase that believes that Trump was a Russian secret agent before he even started running for office. What size tin foil do you wear. I don't think you ever told me.
Let's give President Trump the benefit of the doubt. He's not an evil criminal, he's just clueless, an easy dupe for Putin.
ReplyDeleteClueless is telling the world, "We will extend a hand instead of a fist" as if this was an unique and effective idea. And look what good it did. 500,000 dead Syrians, 430 dead Americans at the hand of terrorists in this country under Obaama, Somolia in kaos, the Afghan war lost to liberal theory, an 800,000 billion dollar trade imbalance at home, record poverty rates and the highest food stamp enrollment in history and a Wannabee A Muslim President more interest in protecting the likes of a domestic Muslim Brotherhood, Al Sharpton and his cop killing mob, acceptance of the terror front CAIR, and refusal to pass a single budget while serving as president with at least one house of congress. The man was an abject failure . . . . still is.
