Seems even the European Media-State complex is discombobulated.

In just a few moments ago I posted a reply to the effect that Donald Trump would caricature of us abroad but I take very little joy at this apparent vindication.

Having lived in Germany now for several years I can tell you that the state of reporting about America in Europe in general and Germany in particular is truly appalling. Imagine America without National Review or talk radio and with only the three networks and the two remaining cable channels. The result is a population that regards America in many ways quite fondly but in many other ways as an incomprehensible menagerie of Neanderthals.

I have often described going into a bookstore near my little village with a big table featuring only books about America but all of them were negative, especially about George Bush who was president at the time, and not one was positive. The uniformity of opinion here is appalling. Everyone is opposed to fracking, everyone is green, everyone opposed the war in Iraq, everybody thinks George Bush is a moron, 40% of the country thinks the CIA blew up the World Trade Center.

So it is not surprising that the left-wing media in Europe caricatures Donald Trump but it is also sad that we have someone who makes it so easy for them.

They said the same thing about Ronald Reagan...he’s just “an actor”, blah, blah, blah.

[PATRIOT1876]

If the USA is destroyed, who's going to rescue them when a dictator like Hitler or someone like his Fan Club President, Soros, comes to power?

[PUGACHEV]

That’s encouraging.

[Ohioan]

This is the same way that European sophisticates—that is, people confused by sophists—reacted initially to Ronald Reagan. In a real sense, this is an unintended tribute to Trump.

[trebb]

More of the right enemies only serves to enhance his credentials - so many hate success because they lose credibility via their attempts to stifle it.

Love what Trump is doing but donating to Cruz.

GO CRUZ!!!

[TalBlack]

Oh HELL YEAH! The Donald is almost PRECISELY the self satisfied American goofball Sam Clemens made a living putting into print and pissing everyone off with.

[AFreeBird]

Well, gee, they all went GaGa over Barry, and look how well that’s worked out for them.

[iontheball]

Pent up Conservative anger has blown the lid off the pressure cooker and the steam is scalding the media and the entire political Uni-party Establishment.

[skeeter]

Since Obama has castrated and de-emphasized the US's role in global affairs why should it matter to Europeans who's running for president. They can't claim that we have much of an impact on their lives anymore.

They should stop nosing around in American political matters and concern themselves with being more welcoming to muslim immigrants.

[Fiddlstix]

IF the Eurotrash don't like him that's almost reason enough for me to vote for him. LOL

Before anyone decides to "flame" me please note I said "almost"!
I'm Still For Cruz!

We should shock Europe by suspending all elections for 4-5 yrs and putting a military led administration into place with an agenda of prosecuting and WINNING the war against radical islam , worldwide . With an ‘appointed’ civilian administration of proven USA loyalty and patriotism set up to handle civilian affairs and domestic departments . Our borders would be sealed to ALL illegal immigration and the Constitution would be amended to reflect that islam is a cult not a religion and that cults are not subject to protections under the 1st Amendment , and then the cult would be dealt with accordingly .

[silverleaf]

Because the prime ministers of Italy and France are always such solid wise upstanding politicians .... ?

and eurojerks can talk down to us about illegal Mexican invaders when you fix the mess at Calais and in Southern Italy - or maybe we should use your solution and pass our illegal invaders straight to Canada on trucks and high speed trains

[toddausauras]

If any of the idiots around the world took 30 minutes reading something than their leftist sources they might not have to be “flabbergasted” any longer. Dumb asses.

[mrsmel]

And the loved Hussen. I see a pattern here-they love whoever weakens and derides the US. So why should any American care what they think?

[rrrod]

europe need to sit back and enjoy the mussies raping their women and children.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Hey Donald, this means no Nobel Peace Prize for you! /S

[KarlInOhio]

So no chance of Trump getting huge crowds with

FREE ROCK CONCERT

and American politician

like Obama did?

[DoodleDawg]

This is the continent that gave us Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, not to mention Berlusconi and his bunga-bunga parties. I don’t think they are in any position to criticize.

[Maceman]

Would this be the same Europe that polled so heavily in favor of Obama during his 2008 campaign?

I thought so.
