Still, I wonder if he had Putin’s go-ahead on this bit.

Stylish! Complaining about Germany to the Norwegian Sec.Gen. of Nato…(or does Trump believe Stoltenberg is German).

The troll-level on this topic appears high, both on twitter and FT, I wonder if Russia is involved in that…

Does this discourage international intel agencies from sharing TrumpRussia intel, or other intel, with the US? Is Trump burning bridges for offense and defense?

I suspect he did. Putin is probably reveling in the irony of Donnie accusing Angela, of all people, of complicity with Russia.

No complicity. No complicity. You’re the complicity.

Look, give him credit. This is a guy who knows a thing or two about being in Russia’s pocket.

Ironic, since Trump is in Russia’s pocket.

The pot calling the kettle black. It’s pretty clear he’s out to destroy NATO this trip. Next thing you know we’ll have a non-aggression pact with Russia. The ghost of Ribbentrop, in a way.

You realize that everything that’s happened so far has taken place on an international stage. But still, this is just astonishing. It’s amazing that a U.S. president could do something so insane. And our reaction, or general lack thereof, in the world’s eyes says everything about our immaturity as a society. By not exploding from the beginning and demanding this madness stop we’ve disgraced ourselves for generations to come.

Dear NATO members:

Trumpp said some of our tariffs were for national security. Redefine some of your existing spending as defense. Upgrades to transportation infrastructure “to improve logistic capacity” always sounds good.

Carry on.

We torture and kill innocent people, start wars of aggression, destabilize democratically-elected governments, and arm dictators. Our Presidents are appointed rather than elected.

We have already been a disgrace for generations.

The “beginning” you speak of started long before Trump.

British poll, posted on www.theguardian.com July 11th, 2018

We have some new Guardian/ICM polling this week. Most of it is about President Trump, and in the unlikely event that he turns away from Fox News for a moment to read the Guardian’s Politics Live instead, he won’t be happy.

There he goes perping his assholery across the globe–our President. How did we come to this?
