Although the progressives pressed the 'destruct' button it didn't destroy the populist threat. European capitals are dismayed the long awaited Blue Wave offensive failed to dislodge the their enemies from the crest of the hill. (emphasis mine) The German DW writes:
Although Democrats made electoral gains in Tuesday's midterm elections, officials in Germany and other European Union countries said they do not believe the results will prompt a change in US President Donald Trump's approach to foreign policy...Politico described the high initial European hopes.

Somebody told these sniveling ankle biters that treaties are ratified by the Senate. Hehe.
Chinese state media interpreted Tuesday’s U.S. election as Democrats riding a “wave of dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump,” in the phrasing of China Daily.
Chinese observers were thrilled at the prospect of Democrats impeaching President Trump, bogging his administration down with endless House investigations, or at least forcing him to scale back his “hardline policies on trade.”...
Yep.
was also skeptical that Tuesday’s election results will ease Europe’s worries..
Well we don’t give a @#@# that you’re worried so it works out great.
F**K all of those supposed allies. All they want is our money and to control OUR government.I am still waiting for Trump to drop a ton of something on the Brits for their intelligence services help on the dossier.
