Oh, I forgot, Russia has all kinds of shit on him. Either that or he just likes Russia better than the US and is worse than the Rosenbergs who got executed.

He may, or may not, realize he's playing into Putin's plans. He's not as bright as people want to think he is, he's purely ego driven, which Putin knows and banked on.

Meanwhile: Today the Saudi's and Russia made a new alliance in their oil ventures. Stay tuned! This drama hasn't even begun to play itself out yet.

He treats the presidency like being the CEO of a company. That's all he knows - and he's not very good at it.

are really the inverse of what he's doing:

Make America great again? He's decimating our standing in the world and putting our economic (and moral and scientific) future at risk. He's making America into a Third World nation.

America first? He's turning us into LOSERS. Now, France and Germany will become leaders of the free world. We will be irrelevant. And all the other countries will become the beneficiaries of the new energy technologies, while we will fail to benefit economically. America will be last.

It's the end of American leadership in the world, and the end of America as we know it.

In one day we went from respected to mocked. I think we might be able to keep our status as a superpower if he's impeached and removed soon (and in 2018 we get control of Congress) , but otherwise i really don't see us retaining anybody's respect.

We were the country who elected Barack Obama and the world loved us in 2008. Maybe we can redeem ourselves in the next election too. If we f that up, our reputation will be forever stained.

But to this point, no action.

I guess we are going to watch him continue to dismantle America.

are laughing at him. He's throwing his hissy fit to show those guys who's boss. Just like he's doing to Obama for laughing at him.
