Except for russia being owned by them is fine 1 Link to comment

But at this particular moment — with Donald Trump having an extremely private meeting with Vladimir Putin tomorrow — it's pretty easy to say that everything Putin would have wanted from Trump's election is coming to pass. 3 Link to comment

RedDenver Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 13 hours ago, TheSker said: I think most people were aware of Trump's risky and shaky business background. And I don't think his business background is what got him elected. Trump sent a clear message that he planned to go to Washington and turn politics as usual upside down. 13 hours ago, TheSker said: That may be true.....but that's the message that won the election. Trump Hotels and Resorts didn't do it. "You're fired!" did. You're right. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Well....after this disaster of a summit and press conference in Helsinki, I have zero confidence our trade policies will get straightened out during a Trump Presidency. There is absolutely no reason why any European government will agree to an agreement with this President. He goes to the NATO summit and acts all lovey dovey with them....then leaves and slams them in the press claiming the EU is a foe...etc. THEN, goes on to Helsinki and totally surrenders to Putin. European countries are going to view Trump as their enemy and they have no motivation to agree to anything. They will work with China to form a trade agreement without us, put pain on our economy and hopefully get Trump voted out. That is what they will do because they actually have their country's best interest at heart......not like Trump. Very very sad day in America. Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Trump's official foreign policy is to do whatever Putin tells him to do. Trump is a hostile, domestic enemy of America. He needs to be removed from office, either via the 25th Amendment or by impeachment and it needs to happen now. Link to comment

I have really slow internet right now so I can't read it but there's a headline on NYT saying the EU has made its largest trade deal in history with Japan. I think this is long-lasting damage territory we are getting into. When Trump is gone our one-time allies are not suddenly going to forgive us, cancel their trade deals, and make new ones with us if we might just up and pull out of them. After all, we will still be the people who elected him. Link to comment

We would have to get rid of ours if we force other countries to get rid of theirs. There are definitely some things we subsidize that shouldn't be but I can't imagine Republicans supporting getting rid of them. Link to comment
