America First

[Mac1958]

These folks clearly don't understand how America became the Leader of the Free World and the most influential country on the planet IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Nuclear weapons.

Bye.

Yes, bye.

Spot on Mac. Trump’s America First was just an empty slogan. While Trump was touting America First, his tax plan encouraged American companies to invest overseas. While Trump was touting American First, Chinese and Russian influence and power grew at the expense of American global leadership.
Biden’s slogan should be America Strong. That is what our new President is doing. Bringing America back into the forefront of global leadership where she belongs.

Also, I wonder how many of these people have ever been in a position of leadership for a large, successful company.

There, you are trained (regularly) that leadership is not about you personally, it's about what you can motivate and inspire others to do. And that includes jumping in, being engaged, contributing and getting your hands dirty. That's how you're judged.

I think most of these people who want America to hide don't know what true leadership is.

Um, no. A CEO is judged in large(the largest) part on the financial success of the company, particularly relative to its competitors. Evaluating the marketplace and positioning the company at the forefront of the competition is one of the primary responsibilities of a CEO. Get back to me when you have a clue what you are talking about.

Holy crap. Typical Trumpian arrogant ignorance. The CEO isn't the only leadership at a company, Einstein.

There is upper management, there is middle management, and in today's corporate world, there is regular leadership training across all management strata.

Get back to me when you have a clue what you're talking about.

The president is the CEO, akin to the President, and his ultimate goal is what I stated. The others on the executive team are part of the same company. We aren’t globalists(yet). The other executives you are referring to are not part of the same company(country). It is the executive’s teams goal to do what is best for the company/country, not what is best for their competitors.

You are clueless.

 

[Indeependent]

Look at post 76. They even want to hide from being Leader of the Free World.

Let somebody else do it. We don't have the balls any more

The world does not trust our leadership anymore. We are too unstable and our country is being taken over by the crazies

Trump was supposed to be The Greatest Dealmaker in the History of Historical Histories.

When it was time to work with Europe, he ran like a scared little bunny, afraid they'd take advantage of him.

Weird!

Trump is an expert on breaking existing deals, he has no values or integrity.

However, making better deals means respect and trust. Something nobody has for Trump

I think the whole world, our allies and adversaries, knew that before he was even elected.

You are correct...Trump ran on spending money on the US, not rebuilding the rest of the world.

Stopping COVID globally helps the US
As long as it is “out there” it will find its way here

And yet all of these nations run by losers who have incompetent scientists need our help to raise money.
You love losers.

By claiming to be so in its domestic propaganda. It's quite simple.

China and Russia want to see the Western alliance in disarray
Trump delivered

Yes he did. ANOTHER mess Biden has to clean up.

But this was a great start. Thank goodness.

American leadership is back.

Trump wanted American policy to serve American interests.


Any ally that would have a problem with that, is not really an ally.

those are bigger words than Mac ever uses.

Bigger ideas too. He is reduced to,

The way the EU has been illegally supporting airbus shows how they think that the game should be played.


They are willing to break the law to get their companies sales and their people jobs, at our expense.


That is ONE example where they got caught. It shows that they are pursuing a policy and a mindset far more aggressive than Trump's America First, and they have been doing so, all along. For decades.

Oh, so that's your excuse for relinquishing our position as Leader of the Free World?

Xi thanks you, no doubt.

China and Russia want to see the Western alliance in disarray

Trump delivered

If our friends are so offended by the idea of an American President having a policy of looking out for AMERICANS, then they are not our allies, and maybe never were.

Alliances don’t work like that
It is not always one side always wins

We give something, they give something
We all win

Show me where Trump said that we have to always win.

He complained like a little bitch every time America was expected to give anything.

Trump had no concept of what diplomacy is. He can’t understand mutual interest

He wanted them to pay their fair share of mutual defense, and he pushed A LITTLE on trade.


You people are just filthy liars.

WTO rules against US over Boeing subsidies – DW – 03/28/2019

The US failed to end Boeing subsidies even after the WTO ruled such measures illegal, according to the trade body. The EU declared "final victory" in the massive trade spat, but the bloc also faces issues over Airbus.

www.dw.com

The way that states compete with tax breaks is a problem, and a valid issue for the EU to raise, BUT, it does not reflect a national, or international policy of benefiting our citizens and corporations at the expense of our supposed friends.

lol. pretzel logic at its finest.

you whine about the EU doing what the US is doing as well. do you expect the EU or everyone but the USA to succumb to your exceptionalism? grow up.

The policy of Washington state is a policy to get the plant to be in Washington State. It is not a national policy of benefitting American manufacturers and workers at the expense of Europeans.


Their AIRBUS policy IS.

get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

trying to blame washington state. lol, as if it was relevant. and true.

"In 2012 the WTO ruled that the United States had granted massive subsidies to Boeing in violation of WTO rules. Between 1989 and 2006 Boeing benefited from NASA, US Department of Defence and Washington State/Kansas subsidies totalling over $5 billion. The subsidies allowed Boeing to sell its aircraft more cheaply, to the detriment of Airbus."

Our massive and ever growing trade deficits strongly indicate that that, if true, is NOT an example of a national policy, but more of an exception to the rule.

AND ever if it were true, at the worst, we are just doing what they are doing, just mostly failing.


There is no way to spin it, that what TRump wanted was... wrong in any way.

this is clearly above your paygrade.

NOpe. As an American Voter, expecting my President, ie my employee, to represent my interests in national policy, is exactly my "pay grade".

My point stands. There is not way to spin it, that what Trump actually wanted, was wrong in any way.

How about we drop our military expenditure to their percentage of GDP?

Sure. I would be fine with that. We would have to reconsider our international alliance system to reflect our reduced abilities.


BUT, until then, if we are going to be the leader of NATO, expending our allies to carry their fair share of the cost, is completely reasonable.
