America First

[bendog]

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


You people are just filthy liars.

Indeed. Such an incredible monster!

The world is so used to US being their bitches, that just a little pushback and they had a hissy fit for four years.

Mac1958 believes “America First” is halting the construction of a wall with the sole purpose of protecting Americans, he believes “America First” is throwing a million new illegals in the laps of the American taxpayer...He believes “America First” is crushing high paying union jobs by halting the construction of an oil pipeline, he believes “America First” is taking America from being energy independent to energy dependent almost overnight.
Mac believes “America First” is a feeling he gets based on the words spoken a certain way by the executive....He doesn’t realize that “America First” is policy....policies CERTAIN to improve the quality of life for AMERICANS.

An “America First” President can be easily identified with a quick glance at his domestic policies. Which of Almost Dead Joes domestic actions scream “America First”?

By your definition, none.

I'm asking you to point us to his America First domestic policies...can you do that?

I'm not going to put forth the effort. I already know how the conversation will go.

Please feel free to play with someone else.

Translation:
"I know I can't convince a rational mind to take my position, I'm only effective when dealing with suckers, illiterates, degenerates and emotional thinking pussies."

Sounds good.

He was not whom I spoke of when saying I try to give some Trumpanzees some space for "embrasing" Trump's America First message. I mean you really have to go back to Bannon before he latched onto Trump or even Pat Buchanan.

That's fucking funny as hell considering you support dementia & the lowest of character for leadership roles. In fact, your leaders as you call them can't even speak for themselves. One never could and the other just giggles.

And who is more dependent on others than leftists? In order to be leftist today you have to be a follower, that's not only supported by actions but it's the foundation of Democrats today, spread propaganda to gain control over the weak, but you call that leadership.

And this is accomplished by hiring people for their skin color.

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.

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.

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.

nice tantrum.

YOur inability to refute my point, is noted.

you don't have a point. like a toddler, and like your immature troll trump, you are led by your feelings, of what you WANT. this is not accepted in the real world outside of your bubble.
if a mature person wants to accomplish something, and has to rely on partners/opponents, he needs to take the needs of the partners/opponents into account. you can cry about what you WANT as long as you wish, partners/opponents will not care. art of the deal, my ass. what a collosal failure you twerp adore.

Trump was asking them to meet defense spending standards that they had agreed to in the past.

A partner that agrees to pay a fair share of a shared burden, and then doesn't, it is ok to ask him to actually do so.


That you attack Trump for this, is you being anti-American.

another topic above your extremely limited paygrade, moron.

this is what was agreed in 2014.

At the Wales Summit in 2014, in response to Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and the turmoil in the Middle East, NATO Leaders agreed to reverse the trend of declining defence budgets and decided:

• Allies currently meeting the 2% guideline on defence spending will aim to continue to do so;
• Allies whose current proportion of GDP spent on defence is below this level will: halt any decline; aim to increase defence expenditure in real terms as GDP grows; and aim to move towards the 2% guideline within a decade with a view to meeting their NATO Capability Targets and filling NATO’s capability shortfalls.

Germany is doing exactly what was agreed upon in 2014. Your hero Trump has never understood that, neither have you.
You also do not understand what Germany does contribute to NATO at all, you stupid stupid fuck. They even hosted the Dominion Servers in Franfkurt for special forces to raid. (LOL)

Last but not least, a trumptard trying to lecture about pacta sunt servanda... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So, if they were already "doing" it, what was all the whining about?

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.

Ever think we pay too much rather than them paying too little?
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.

Germany is around 700 miles from Russia while we are thousands of miles away

If Germany feels threatened, they can invest more, they don’t

germany feels "threatened" by the US using germany as staging ground for their war machine and as hospital for their grunts. thx for defending us, all you exceptional americans.

BULLSHIT. They could withdraw from NATO tomorrow and have all us forces out of their country in a matter of weeks.


But that would mean they have to pay for their own defense.


Instead they depend on US, while complaining about US.


You know who does that?


Ungrateful children.

seriously, grow up, twat.

that's not how anything in the grownup world works. i mean, of course, a trumptard would propose to throw a tantrum and destroy everything that was built by his betters, because he WANTS SOMETHING NOW, while whining about others "breaking da rules".

the whining side for decades are the cucks like you, who claim that the US is being fleeced by the ungrateful unwashed commie europeans. fuck off.

I would be glad to. You people are capable of defending yourselves against the thin shadow that Russia has become.

in the next war germany is more likely to fight against America than with us

trump's special forces have already started the war. remember the raid on frankfurt to seize the servers to prove the big steal. LOL

So, leave NATO. YOu don't need US.. Less talk. More action.

3 takeaways from President Joe Biden's first G7 summit

When President Joe Biden and his aides were planning his visit to the Cornish coast this weekend, many -- including the President -- viewed it as something of a homecoming.

www.cnn.com

I'm "America First". I want what's best for America, and I know that, as the world leader, what's good for us is good for the rest of the world.

So, I know that isolating ourselves from a rapidly changing world and insulating ourselves into our own little static rabbit hole are the worst things we can do for America.

I know the world is advancing quickly, all around us. I know that we have long-standing relationships with MANY other countries that we can leverage in our self-interest. Sometimes that will involve carefully using some of our vast resources as we lead the way. That's what leaders do. They don't hide and desperately hold on to what's theirs, like spoiled children.

Just as in the business world, the best leaders are those who help others achieve their potential. They don't mock or insult or attack those people. They lean in and be a part of the growth. And, selfishly, they know they also benefit from the growth of others.

Others claim to be America First, but to them it just means behaving like those spoiled children. You can't have the America First slogan as your own, any more than you can have the American Flag as your own. You don't own either one, because you don't really respect them.

America is back to leading the world. America First.

It’s funny watching you lefties scramble so hard to make Biden look good when he is blatantly falling apart on stage and whenever in front of a microphone. Did you see how he answered a question about if he still thinks Putin is a killer? His brain completely short circuited.

• Allies whose current proportion of GDP spent on defence is below this level will: halt any decline; aim to increase defence expenditure in real terms as GDP grows; and aim to move towards the 2% guideline within a decade with a view to meeting their NATO Capability Targets and filling NATO’s capability shortfalls.

Germany is doing exactly what was agreed upon in 2014. Your hero Trump has never understood that, neither have you.
You also do not understand what Germany does contribute to NATO at all, you stupid stupid fuck. They even hosted the Dominion Servers in Franfkurt for special forces to raid. (LOL)

Last but not least, a trumptard trying to lecture about pacta sunt servanda... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

in the next war germany is more likely to fight against America than with us

trump's special forces have already started the war. remember the raid on frankfurt to seize the servers to prove the big steal. LOL

So, leave NATO. YOu don't need US.. Less talk. More action.

ok. i will tell that to godempress angela who will make it happen tout de suite. thx for providing this awesomely sage advice, scholar.

3 takeaways from President Joe Biden's first G7 summit

When President Joe Biden and his aides were planning his visit to the Cornish coast this weekend, many -- including the President -- viewed it as something of a homecoming.

www.cnn.com

I'm "America First". I want what's best for America, and I know that, as the world leader, what's good for us is good for the rest of the world.

So, I know that isolating ourselves from a rapidly changing world and insulating ourselves into our own little static rabbit hole are the worst things we can do for America.

I know the world is advancing quickly, all around us. I know that we have long-standing relationships with MANY other countries that we can leverage in our self-interest. Sometimes that will involve carefully using some of our vast resources as we lead the way. That's what leaders do. They don't hide and desperately hold on to what's theirs, like spoiled children.

Just as in the business world, the best leaders are those who help others achieve their potential. They don't mock or insult or attack those people. They lean in and be a part of the growth. And, selfishly, they know they also benefit from the growth of others.

Others claim to be America First, but to them it just means behaving like those spoiled children. You can't have the America First slogan as your own, any more than you can have the American Flag as your own. You don't own either one, because you don't really respect them.

America is back to leading the world. America First.

It’s funny watching you lefties scramble so hard to make Biden look good when he is blatantly falling apart on stage and whenever in front of a microphone. Did you see how he answered a question about if he still thinks Putin is a killer? His brain completely short circuited.

I wish there were a better alternative. But I'll have to live with this one.

Life is about choices, and the last choices weren't very good.

Oh well.

There are a lot better choices than CNN.

Spot on Mac. Trump’s America First was just an empty slogan. While Trump was touting America

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.

nice tantrum.

YOur inability to refute my point, is noted.

you don't have a point. like a toddler, and like your immature troll trump, you are led by your feelings, of what you WANT. this is not accepted in the real world outside of your bubble.
if a mature person wants to accomplish something, and has to rely on partners/opponents, he needs to take the needs of the partners/opponents into account. you can cry about what you WANT as long as you wish, partners/opponents will not care. art of the deal, my ass. what a collosal failure you twerp adore.

Trump was asking them to meet defense spending standards that they had agreed to in the past.

A partner that agrees to pay a fair share of a shared burden, and then doesn't, it is ok to ask him to actually do so.


That you attack Trump for this, is you being anti-American.

another topic above your extremely limited paygrade, moron.

this is what was agreed in 2014.

Last but not least, a trumptard trying to lecture about pacta sunt servanda... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So, if they were already "doing" it, what was all the whining about?

why are you asking me about the whining, whiner? you need to ask trump, and yourself.

lol!!! Got it. So this was always bullshit from you people.
