They say America First, but they mean America next…

As opposed to Obummer, who put Kenya first. And Hillary, who will put Lesbos first.

It was kind of strange hearing an American presidential candidate declaring he wants to be Leader of the Communist World.

Trump declared that our democratic European allies were taking advantage of us but heaped loads of praise on both communist Russia and China. What’s wrong with this Republican? He doesn’t seem to have the kind of respect for Senato Joe McCarthy that he should.

It’s not as if we need further proof of this man’s complete lack of qualifications to sit in the Oval Office…he opens his fat trap and tells us just how ignorant he is of world affairs, among other things.

How can one take a presidential candidate seriously when he has orange skin, and raccoon eyes from the goggles at the tanning salon? The comb over is bad enough, but really, those white eyes surrounded by synthetic tan look really foolish.

Nice summary!

Imagine your crazy uncle President of the United States. That is what it would be like if we had a President Trump.

Repackaged bombastic rhetoric or meaningless “word salad.”

That was exactly my impression (and he also slurred some words and mispronounced Tanzania).

Actually, it was the Old World (Europe), the New World (the Americas), and the Third World (the poor er undeveloped countries of Africa and Southeast Asia.

The use of “First World” or “Second World” indicates an appalling ignorance of 20th century history.

Trump said that his foreign policy strategy will replace “randomness with purpose, ideology with strategy and chaos with peace.”

Anyone got a translation for this? As far as I can tell there is zero substance here, much like the man who spoke it.

Trump: No one likes us. I don’t know why. We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try. And all around, even our old friends put us down. Let’s drop the big one and see what happens.

Asia’s crowded and Europe’s too old. Africa is far too hot and Canada’s too cold.
And South America stole our name. Let’s drop the big one, there’ll be no one left to blame us.

Wut. This is just bizarre, where did you come up with it? Some Third world countries are part of the Old World and some in the New, it’s a completely different terminology.

“First/Third World” is a postwar term; Second was rarely used, but yes referred to Soviet bloc countries.

It’s history—and I am accurate in what I stated.
