Except he didn't say that.
Thanks for the correction (if that post is correct about Trump not saying that).
Still, there are other Trump diplomatic blunders “Japan & China are taking our money” - which reads on their television as “Japan/China are thieves!!”
I agree, we need a bully to beat up the American Left bigtime — and Trump is the one to do it. But not to beat up our allies. That’s just dumb.
