[QUOTE=Weedy1;3547690]The latest headlines:

Donald Trump appears to shove world leader out of the way at Nato summit.
Like a boss.
He told them to their faces that they had better start paying their fair share of defence costs or else.
He was making his way to the front of the group as he's the one paying their tab.

stringer, I would have told them that if every country in NATO does not carry their weight and honor their financial commitment and obligation, that the USA will reduce it's contribution by 50% within a year and if it continued, 75% the following year. As he said "It's not fair to the American tax payer" isn't that the truth!
European's remind me of Trudeau Jr.

BTW Trump has not asked you for any advice either, but probably appreciates all the suck up you're doing on his behalf. I don't think Trump would respect you for it but would think of you another disposable lackey.

You need look no further than Detriot,Baltimore ,Chicago ........city's that have been run by Democrats for upwards or 50 years to see how their policies affect the poor.
Last time I checked it was the rich people that employe the poor.

Yes it was awkward! But it is the Trump way! It is what it is!
I am not a Sean Spicer fan, but I am more concerned with the news that Sean Spicer was not included in the room of those who had a visit with Pope Francis. I am not a fan but Sean Spicer has went to the wall and fell on the sword for Donald Trump numerous times. He is the face of complete loyalty to Donald Trump.

He should have done it live on camera, nothing beats public humiliation to people that don't honor their end of any agreement. Don't you just hate people that give their word and don't follow through? I do.
America and Canada already saved the European's once already in WWII.

What's to see , if the U.S. pulls out or decreases spending the end of NATO won't be far off.

You saw how uncomfortable they were when Trump was giving his speech , they were all praying for him to not drop that bomb.
They sure did.

All they will save will be the spending on NATO. The end of NATO may mean that the United States may be on its own.
Yes he is holding all the cards and may win this pot, but that may end the game and there may be no more wins.
So on one side Trump may have outed the allies and on the other hand he has cozied up to a county that is the birth place of radical Islam. Sold them arms. I do not know why the USA, not just this White House is so blind to Saudi Arabia. Osama was a Saudi! Over a dozen of the terrorists who flew the planes on 9-11 were Saudis. The terrorist training grounds in all those places like Afganistan were funded by Saudi money. What does the USA get out of this deal. Has SA done anything to help with radical Islam or the hardships caused by radical Islam?
If will be interesting to see if the Saudis would come to the defense of the USA if the allies do not?

Without rich people willing to investing in businesses and creating jobs we would end up like Venezuelan ( socialism ) and would be slaves to the government.

What's wrong with asking these countries to hounor their commitment ?
I agree that Saudis Arabia is a problem , I also think that they must be part of the solution.

Absolutely nothing wrong with asking If it ever comes to put up or your out, everyone looses

I also think that they should be part of the solution, but I think that it is not wise to arm the Saudis without the Saudis demonstrating a commitment and honouring that commitment.

Your comparing apples to oranges.
Detriot ,Baltimore ,and Chicago are cities not states , and have been run by democrats for over 50 years without exception.
To respond to your claim Miss. Has hat 2 Rep. Governors in over 50 years and Arkansas has had 3 in over 60 years.
So what's your point ?

They have been showing a commitment over the past 2 years in partnership with Egypt and other Muslim countries , look it up.
Their very survival depends on it.

Yes some of the rich employ the poor. If the employed poor still remain poor, maybe the rich are not paying enough or are making their staff compete with illegal immigrants?

Next weeks headlines:
Donald Trump beats child who got in his way.
Donald Trump kicks dog caught peeing on the White Hole lawn.
Donald Trump steals candy from baby after mom pushes stroller into his pathway. |
And precisely why the world views Trump as the "American epitome" of arrogance, rudeness and disrespect.
The smug face as he shoves the poor little puny Montenegrin Prime Minister aside and out of his, and the almighty America's way and steps in front to grab the spotlight for himself.
Man that was funny. He's the man. He's the boss.
I like how a few of the other delegates just look bewildered at his behaviour.
I can at least pray he spanks that silly little Turdo at least once before he gets himself impeached .... that would be great to watch.
omg ..... that was so ........ Trump.

There is a story in a book about a great leader who lead his people out of slavery and into a free land. The people were told how to keep the people free. Happy ending? Not really!
The freed people became masters and when a fellow freed person needed help instead of helping they just instituted a different kind of slavery.
That type of slavery exists today.
