Trump’s trip abroad thrills Republicans, disappoints Democrats

[E. Pluribus Unum]

President Trump declared he knocked it out of the park during his first overseas trip and prominent Republicans agreed Sunday, saying he reassured allies and talked tough when necessary, though Democrats argued that he fell short and faces stiffer tests back home.

Mr. Trump’s ambitious trip took him to Saudi Arabia, Israel, Vatican City, Belgium and Italy. He sealed a $110 billion arms sale with the Saudis, stressed that it is Islamic leaders, not Western politicians or diplomats, who are best able to defeat terrorism, and said his push to compel NATO members to pay more of their fair share is already producing results.

Sen. Bob Corker, Tennessee Republican, told Mr. Trump early Sunday that he could “not be more pleased” with the nine-day tour.

“The trip was executed to near perfection, and it appears the president has made great progress on the broad range of objectives his team articulated to me when I met with senior White House and State Department officials during their preparations,” said Mr. Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

“The challenges we face around the world are vast, but with a strategic focus on our long-term goals, I am confident we can reassert U.S. leadership, strengthen key alliances and improve security both at home and abroad,” he said.

The LIBs/DIMS are the perpetually “disappointed”. Who cares? Only lunatics give a **** about those nitwits “feel”. I laugh at their “disappointment”.

[WashingtonFire]

It’s the first time since Reagan a President has went abroad determined to fight for AMERICAN interests .

Not for Marxist ideology. Not for his globalist paymasters. But fighting to ensure the common man in our country gets a fair deal.

God bless you PRESIDENT TRUMP

Do the Dems even know he did that trip? Sure wasn’t covered much by the MSM.

Obama would have meekly gotten in line behind him. Maybe bowed in the process.

Only democrats want the US to play second fiddle to Montenegro.

Body Language expert analyzes the “shove” and reveals it was not a shove but a “man hug”. The MSM deliberately cut off the outer part of the video which showed DJT grabbing him with both hands, like a hug, to which the other guy in response put his arm around DJT. The guy was NOT upset, rather, he was smiling. If he had been shoved, his facial expression would have shown annoyance or anger. Instead, he is smiling at DJT.
