I had this conversation on a biz trip recently with a US international business type who told me how disapproving “everybody” in major foreign countries were of the election of Trump. I heard the same crap about Reagan in the early 1980s, and it was always from some goof in a country like Denmark that spent almost nothing on its own defense or NATO and provided near full, thankless reliance on our military and spending. He was a bit shocked when I responded that I don’t give a s—t what foreign nationals think of our leaders or politics, and I could give a s—t who they elect in their home countries. I pointed out the recent United Nations vote condemning the US on our “unilateral” move of our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, authorized by our Congress 20 years ago, where we had all of NINE member countries side with us which included a few Pacific island nations under our funding, Guatemala and Israel. Teresa May’s UK voted against us; when the chips are down, they throw more at us.

Good for you! Screw ‘em! We have some lovely, patriotic Brits on this forum....so that doesn’t apply to them, BTW.

I had the same experiences overseas, until Reagan blew away our enemies, and then he was a “Great Man.”

Problem is, Trump keeps giving his enemies the verbal ammunition to attack him with that so outweighs his real achievements.

He either stops the month now, or 1 year from today, he is impeached (but not removed) by a 240 Dem seat House.

Teresa May is a disgrace to the UK, as are all her government members.

She will go down in history as one of our worst ever PM’s and recently that title has a lot of competition.
