    The week that was from my perspective:

    * started with DT calling out free-loading NATO countries and they buckled promising to pay more of the load — +4;
    * called out German Chancellor Merkel on Russia Gas deal trying to sell them Dave’s gas — +2
    * constantly reminded Europe what idiocy their immigration policy is — +1
    * struck his nose into the BREXIT matter where it did not belong — -2;
    * jabbed PM May — she has to go +1;
    * walked in front of the Queen & sat in Churchill’s chair — would you expect less...hilarious +1;
    * Melania was stunning — no score, but nice;
    * played golf — it was his joint and showed his disdain for back-biters — +1;
    * backhanded the EU on trade policies they have been screwing us to tears with for decades — +3
    * played nice with Putin — gave his enemies ammo –5;
    * dissed our intel services & Mueller — what, he’s supposed to respect outfits dreaming up stuff to torpedo him? +2

    Total = Trump +8

    Meanwhile 25% of the uranium mined in the USA is being shipped to Russia and hitlery got 100's of millions of dollars for it.


    But, that is somehow OK and not worthy of a real investigation.

Unless the BS shiney pebble keeps us from paying attention to the line of crap they are feeding us......

    Well either way anything Trump does is going to be attacked from the left so it does not surprise me in the least. At this point the left has complained so much and so often that it is really becoming expected. It has become normal so that now Trump can do anything he wants because the public expects the left to whine about it, which means the alarm is not going to go off on a really bad scenario, because the damn false alarms have been going off constantly.


    I think it especially painful because it was Russia, that caused the Dems so much heartburn, even though it has been admitted time and time again that not one single vote was changed, not ONE!! The illegal server in Clintons basement was hacked by outsiders, where is that outrage?


    The first thing Trump did was unleashed Mad Dog and had him stomp a mud hole in the ass of ISIS, blowing up Russians as well that were helping them. He did it twice, just so that they would get the message.


    Snopes? They have been shown to be very misinformed and have spread plenty of false reports. I would trust CNN about as much as them. When Facebook came out and said they were going to use Snopes as fact checkers, they were horse laughed and ridiculed for their actions by millions. This was after Zuckerberg had his day schooling the Congressional Circus.

    One opinion of a journalist that checked into the inner workings of snopes and came away feeling tarnished.

    First of all I commend you for having the intellectual capacity and discipline of responding to the issues rather than attacking all things unrelated. I will offer my rebuttal (or opinion) using your format:

    Not so. They committed to complying with the agreement already in place of 2% by 2024. -4 for lying about it.

    * called out German Chancellor Merkel on Russia Gas deal trying to sell them Dave’s gas — +2

    I agree on this, although this has been long in the making and could have been handled far more diplomatically (a concept unknown to Trump). +1

    * constantly reminded Europe what idiocy their immigration policy is — +1

    They had already come to that reality. They are not our dog and we have no business rubbing their nose on their chit. 0

    * struck his nose into the BREXIT matter where it did not belong — -2;

    Agree. -2

    * jabbed PM May — she has to go +1;

    Bad form at it's worst. -2

    * walked in front of the Queen & sat in Churchill’s chair — would you expect less...hilarious +1;

    For being a blundering AH-4.

    * Melania was stunning — no score, but nice;

    Agree

    * played golf — it was his joint and showed his disdain for back-biters — +1;

    I get a kick out of all the hypocrites who obsessed over Obamas golfing but ignore Trumps record pace. 0

    * backhanded the EU on trade policies they have been screwing us to tears with for decades — +3

    Message +3, style -3 net 0

    * played nice with Putin — gave his enemies ammo –5;

    Agree. -5

    * dissed our intel services & Mueller — what, he’s supposed to respect outfits dreaming up stuff to torpedo him? +2

    For doing it when and where he did it-5

    Total = Trump +8

    Total Trump= disgraceful

    The most glaring, perhaps only because it was first, of your numerous misfires —

    “Not so. They committed to complying with the agreement already in place of 2% by 2024. -4 for lying about it.”

    The promise to come up to their existing 2% defense spending of GDP is an historic “buckling” from what the big majority of these freeloaders have been doing. I stand by my assessment. We have a 73 year history of priming the pump for Europe. It’s about time they start pumping some fluid and holding up their end of the deal. I relish Trump’s in-your-face method of calling them out. Style don’t mean ****. Nations do not have friends, only interests.

    You might have missed one of Trump's many lies in which he claimed they agreed to 4%---but then I understand---it is a difficult chore to try to remember all his lies----unless you happen to be Trump and then you don't even try

    I never heard him say other than that they should come up to 4%, not that they agreed to do so.
    Of course, even the U.S. does not spend at that rate on defense. Trump is a salesman and puff talk is his manner of speech. You have to learn the difference between hyperbole and “lies.”

    I guess you mean like the difference between bull **** and bovine feces---I can assure you, as a farm boy, I shoveled piles of it and you can apply any label on it you like but it is still BS. Trump is a pathological liar---put any label on it you like---they remain lies and he remains the liar in chief.

    BTW---I couldn't help but chuckle at putin keeping the trumpster waiting for 40 minutes----a stunt he seems to employ on a regular bases---just to remind the serfs of their true ranking. One can only imagine what is on those videos

    Nope, the Democrats have gone off the deep end.....you never saw/heard 20% of the **** you see and hear now.......

    Democrats lost, so they are now unable to admit that and unable to see Trump use the rules they put into place for the Democrats to use....

    The hate is flowing and the Democrats are pouring gasoline on a burning fire daily.......

    Isn't this the guy who's been running his mouth all week about how President Trump shouldn't meet with Putin?
