Trump angst pours in from overseas governments (lobbyists working for foreign govs)
The Hill ^

Posted on 03/30/2016 12:19:14 PM PDT by quesney

Lobbyists in Washington say they are being flooded with questions and concerns from foreign governments about the rise of Donald Trump.

Officials around the globe are closely following the U.S. presidential race, to the point where some have asked their American lobbyists to explain, in great detail, what a contested GOP convention would look like.

The questions about Trump are “almost all-consuming,” said Richard Mintz, the managing director of Washington-based firm The Harbour Group, whose client list includes the governments of Georgia and the United Arab Emirates.

After a recent trip to London, Abu Dhabi and Beijing, “it’s fair to say that all anyone wants to talk about is the U.S. presidential election,” Mintz added. “People are confused and perplexed.”

The Hill conducted interviews with more than a half-dozen lobbyists, many of whom said they are grappling with how to explain Trump and his unusual foreign policy views to clients who have a lot riding on their relationship with the United States.

“We’re in uncharted territory here,” said one lobbyist with foreign government clients who asked not to be identified.

“The questions coming from the international community are not different than the things, categorically, we’re asking ourselves,” said Nathan Daschle, the president and chief operating officer of the Daschle Group, a firm run by his father, former Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.).

“There’s an added level of bafflement because this is not the United States that they’ve been living with for so long,” Daschle said. “This is not the image the United States has been projecting.”

The questions about Trump often concern his foreign policy positions.

All the American lobbyists are having to explain to the foreign lobbyists that if Trump is elected, they may well have to give up a lot of the gravy train benefits and graft that normally comes their way with the corrupt “establishment” government that we’ve had for so many years...

They are scared...really scared....

Every four years the corrupt MSM fills us with the same line of baloney — every four years!

Europe or anonymous foreign country leader(s) supposedly express shock that _______ ( name of current Republican candidate) is being seriously considered by the American voter.

The same story they did with Reagan. The same disingenuous story they do with every single Republican presidential candidate. Two things you will note with this ruse, 1) there is never, ever, ever a report of foreign countries or leaders expressing concern with any Democrat candidate, and 2) if Trump is not the nominee, then you will see identical stories about whomever the Republican nominee is.

This whole shtick is as predictable as the atomic clock in Colorado.

Why didn’t they “flood” the lobbyists with “questions” when the Marxist Kenyan was taking power? They can all KMA. We need Cruz or Trump to undo all of the bull**** their messiah did to America.

For those in other lands scratching your head over this: The cartoon image of Trump is a fiction by political enemies. You may take him seriously. Our media on the other hand—not so much.

And that, my FRiend, is the same fact as to why the DNC, RNC, MSM, and foreign governments are all allied against Trump. They are terrified of a President that doesn’t need their money.

Globalists and these foreign countries fear they cannot bribe and corrupt anymore if Trump gets in. If for any reason to vote for Trump the corrupt trade deals is a biggy.

They knew the Marxist Kenyan along with Hillary, and Congress were bribable. They had no problem with that. It is what they want.
