He was treated with respect in Arabia and Israel. A little less so in Europe but more than at home. If the press behaved in even a modicum of courtesy or respect, we’d see that President every day.

But the notion that he won the presidency through collusion with Russia is implausible and is wholly without evidence.
No it isn’t. Trump publicly called on Russia to help the US get to the bottom of what actually had been (note, past tense - the server no longer existed by then) on the server that Hillary wiped with a cloth Bleachbit®.

That is the “evidence."

——In Vatican City, emerging from an apparently amicable meeting with Pope Francis, Trump said, “I won’t forget what you said.”-—

This went over my head. What exactly did the Pope say?

While the writer of the piece is a sanctimonious hypocrite, snide, offensive and an obvious Globalist shill the article is useful for the insight it gives into the mindset of the RINO class, who are starting to pedal backwards towards 1/2 hearted Trump bashing while still loathing & resenting him.

At a campaign rally candidate Trump made a joke that perhaps Russia could help find Hillary’s missing 33,,000 emails

That is “ a call for Russian assistance”?

“Now the question is whether Donald Trump, after acting like a president abroad, can start doing so at home.”


I missed it Barone, please elucidate what he has done (or not done) since his inauguration to merit this remark. Does this require kissing RINO GOPe and reneging on campaign promises???

Yes he was, and he earned the respect. The left-wing press though will never give him the respect.

Precisely. The aggressive hostility the US MSM exhibits minute by minute toward the president is not reflected by the American people or any other venue anywhere else in the world. Nor is their dyspeptic distemper justified.
Only the evil lens of global Marxism is sufficient to explain the seething hatred with which President Trump is assaulted by the globalist titans of the media, of Soros and his demonic cult, and their lackey, the Democrat party.

Agree...

Barone writes, “My tentative conclusion is that Trump is more of a conventional president than he promised or than his critics fear. His early morning tweets are unnerving; his propensity for unrehearsed ad-libs is potentially dangerous; his taste in interior decoration is appalling.”


Embarrassing fluff from a supposed thinker.

“Democrats and journalists assuming that further investigations will lead to impeachment are pursuing what movie director Alfred Hitchcock called a MacGuffin — something a movie’s characters are pursuing that is, to quote Wikipedia, “typically unimportant to the overall plot.””

I had forgotten this word. Totally applies here.

Is there actual evidence that PDJT called Comey a “nut job”? Or is this another “sources say” accusation? Any accusation by an anonymous source needs to be called “alleged.”

Trump needs to set the tone, not the press. Yes, the press is a bunch of howling babies because their candidate lost, but Trump needs to be Presidential whether or not he is treated the way he wants to be.

You digress.......

The question was “what did the Pope actually say?”

Oh, stop it. He’s presidential enough for me and many others. Hope he comes right back to the USA and starts tweeting - just to upset you and other panty-waists.
