Once again, Trump does Putin's bidding

Pull back on our commitment to NATO? Done
Withdraw support of military aid to Ukraine? Done
Pull back our commitment to the UN? Done
Compare US killings the equivalent of Putin's? Done
Neuter our State Department and ability to interact with other nations? Done

Right winger: "Trump does Putin's bidding."

Seriously? This ******'s posts should ALL go straight to the conspiracy section.

Oh and just remember RWer sucked of the Govt. tit for decades and as far as he/she/it is concerned Big Govt. is the be all, end all.

You can't cure stupid.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Hardly....not having American soldiers coming home in body bags is not a failure
That is why we maintain a State Department

You destroyed Libya and handed it to terrorists and tried to do the same in the other 2 ....That's not success or leadership

He doesn't know what happened in Libya, beyond a video that caused the death of four Americans.

Bernard Henri Levy is what happened to Libya. Why don't you know that, because its blamed on Obama and Clinton.

Do tell.......I need to hear this......

I think you have google , look it up. I find when you give people stuff they get lazy, must be what happened to you.

Yeah Obama just a victim....Right..........All his actions should have produced peace and prosperity....... Llllmmmaaaoooo

So Trump increases funding to the military while he slashes funding to the State Department. What is the purpose of the State Department? To represent our interests abroad. How do we "lead" the free world when our President slashes funds for foreign diplomats and the UN? How do we diplomatically engage our allies and opponents with a shadow State Department?

Trumps answer seems to be to resolve issues with the military rather than diplomacy. The same man who vowed to avoid foreign entanglements has decimated the agency that allows us to resolve conflicts without committing our troops

please tell me, where in any of our official foundation documents does it state that the U.S. and it's President are responsible to be the leaders of the "free world" . I can only find where the Pres. is responsible to the people of the U.S. , no more, no less.

You are one seriously full of shit idiot if you believe that bullshit.

Good Lord. You sure as shit can't cure stupid and RWer proves it with each and every post.

He merely regurgitates whatever the government and it's media tell him. Typical dupe

Was Putin happy when Trump said our crimes are as bad as Russia's?

I know we've "assumed" that role. And we've done so, to the detriment somewhat for our own good. We've mandated charity through legislation which flies directly in the face of the definition of charity. And, for us to use that title for the U.S. President is arrogant in my opinion.

Does drawing back from NATO help or hurt Putin?

Wrong question. Right question is does drawing back from NATO help or hurt the American people? Answer: Helps.

How about weakening our ability to lead the free world?

How about strengthening ourselves by not letting meaningless slogans like "leader of the free world" be used against us by our enemies.

How about a weakened UN?

Who cares? We are not in charge of determining how the UN benefits other nations or their leaders.

Was Putin happy when Trump said our crimes are as bad as Russia's?

Who cares? That is a consideration for school girls. A man and a patriot asks: was Trump telling the truth?

You're just looking or problems. The state dept. probably stood to lose funding and Trump made a BUSINESS move. He's not a politician. I like it.

Trust me. I have never trumpeted American exceptionalism. I haven't even whistled it quietly under my breath. It is a very destructive and easily manipulated and ignorant conceit.
