When I was in high school, my German teacher complained, “Why do Americans expect Germans to speak English? Why don’t they (she was from Germany) learn German?”

Without thinking, I blurted out, “Because we won!”

Sure didn’t help my grade that semester...

Folks like Jeff Goldberg don’t like the fact America wins more medals at the Olympics than other countries. If the US wins gold on the last day and some small country’s anthem has not been played yet, Jeff thinks we should play theirs just so everyone gets a chance.

“It struck me almost immediately that this was the most acute, and attitudinally honest, description of the manner in which members of Trump’s team, and Trump himself, understand their role in the world.”

I highly doubt Trump would word his message/doctrine with the “b”word. Seems to me the source doesn’t really speak well for/of Trump.

Jeffery Goldberg from The Atlantic?

No need to read further.

But I do kind of like the new confidence and bold arrogance of the Trump Doctrine.

Obama was apologizing and groveling at the feet of world leaders with his tail between his legs.

Trump stands tall and confidently says America is El Perrón.

Loose translation: America is the Big Dog!

Until Trump proves otherwise, I’m down with what he’s doing, and what he stands for.

Isn’t that where most conservatives have been for the last 30 or so years? We’ve been cucked for at least that long. Even Reagan granted amnesty to illegals.

The thing that gives me confidence isn’t a philosophy as such, it there mere presence of The Trump in the Oval Office.

The man is the greatest strategic genius the world has known since Charlemagne. His understanding of strategy and human psychology is unsurpassed in our times.

“Let them hate, so long as they fear.”

Nifty little Roman saying.

Trump didn't, or at least, wasn't quoted as saying this.

"We're America, bitch" is the term a senior official used to describe the Trump Doctrine.

I’d almost like to see Chapelle come up with a “Black Trump” character, like “Black Bush”.

Is there a such thing as TOO gangsta?

“What does ‘You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar’ mean?

“This means that it is easier to persuade people if you use polite arguments and flattery than if you are confrontational.”

The French President Macron makes his points without acting like an eight-year old or losing his temper.

The late Rick James was known to coin a similar phrase when asked who he was.
