Laugh all you want, he's right.
ReplyDeleteYea, sure... he's right. His administration accomplished more than any previous administration in the history of the United States.
ReplyDeleteRiiiight.
IF you believe that, you'll believe everything. And this is coming from someone who likes Trump in office!
Actually he did expect this reaction's laughing hysterically at them.
ReplyDeleteAs Fazman says, "he's right." Trump has been Putin and Xi's worst nightmare. They want him gone forthwith!! Trump's actual policies towards Putin have been far tougher than his predecessor's was towards Putin even if the rehetoric hasn't been. Negotiatuons 101: you do not dress down Putin or Xi arguably the world's most powerful men in public.
I will have to listen to POTUS's speech. I'm pretty sure he did not refer to America as an "indispensable nation" or as a "superpower." Only mentally ill politicians or ideologically blind people believe such nonsense.
