Trump's renown is rooted in American hero myths. Trump says that women like Carla Bruni lust after him, something that women like Carla Bruni vehemently deny. Trump says he is exorbitantly rich, yet Trump ran himself into the ground with his casinos to the point that he was 295 million dollars in debt in 1990. He was bailed out by the banks and by his father. The greatest myth, though, has to do with Trump's alleged negotiating expertise. This too is nonsense. Trump was never proficient in the art of the deal. As a businessman, he paid far too much for substandard properties and has shown no patience as a politician. He isn't curious. His preparation is nonexistent. Strategy and tactics are both foreign to him. Trump is only proficient in destruction. And that's what he does.
He backed out of the Paris climate agreement while promising a "better deal for America." But nothing came of the promise, neither a plan nor meaningful talks. In Trump's Washington, the only thing that matters is dismantling the legacy of his predecessor, Barack Obama. Trump also promised to improve Obama's health care plan, but the details are complex and bothersome. So Trump destroyed Obamacare and has done nothing to replace it.
Now, he is playing the same game on the world stage with the Iran nuclear deal. Trump refers to it as "the worst deal ever," which is why he has now pulled the U.S. out of it. The negotiations that resulted in the deal in 2015 were a masterpiece of international diplomacy, but there are no plans in place to launch new talks.

I totally agree. Germany has been Germanying again ever since they tortured the heck out of Greece.
To say nothing of having hosted far and away the worst witch hunts in world history.
I totally get why my ancestor deserted the first chance he got and fled to the United States!
Yeah, and the Germans won both World Wars, too.
These people are delusional.
He’s krautraged.
The intellectuals who put Hitler in place are parading their genius.
Germans. Resistance. Heh Heh.
Between us and the Russians, we should have kept the place.
You win today’s internet important overlooked facts award!
So sick of leftist journalist hacks leaving out crucial details -
Things will only get better with Facebook and Google news source reliability ratings and search result censorship...
RE: Not only was it unsigned, Congress took the unusual step to send out a congressional letter warning Iran after Obama’s antics that this was not a treaty and could be invalidated at any time.
Europe is past
The Future is East Of suez (+ Egypt)
This elitist media goon does not speak for Europe or Europeans any more than Rachel Maddow speaks for Americans.
This was an over the top, unbalanced screed; that misstated/overstated so much that that it can only be viewed as emotional venting - not serious analysis.
“Trust me, MOST of the Euro twits believe this rubbish like it’s the gospel.”
Sure. Resist Trump. But sacrifice your daughters to Islamic scum. Makes sense to me.
I don’t recall anyone asking the Turkish-Mongol-Russian peanut gallery in Germany for an opinion about our President.
Are there any real men left in Europe???
How great would it be if they a a real Constitution like ours. Otherwise, they will socialize themselves into 3rd world status.
Who cares what a bunch of gay Jew haters think?
“Between us and the Russians, we should have kept the place.”
They do make nice cars, and the bet beer in the world.
That’s a good thing.
Everything else? Meh.
I stopped reading at that point. Total waste of time.
