New York Times ^ | January 16, 2017 | Steven Erlanger

LONDON — The Germans are angry. The Chinese are downright furious. Leaders of NATO are nervous, while their counterparts at the European Union are alarmed.

Mr. Trump’s comments “are a direct assault on the liberal order we’ve built since 1945 and a repudiation of the idea that the United States should lead the West,” said R. Nicholas Burns, a former senior State Department official and ambassador to NATO, who also advised the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.

“To say that NATO is obsolete, openly support the disintegration of the E.U. and then denigrate Merkel and put her on a par with Putin is a fundamental break with 70 years of American policy and strategic thought supported by Republicans from Eisenhower to now,” said Mr. Burns

This guy and many more like him need one of us close at hand at times like this to give him a tap on the shoulder and say, "I'll say it again -- that's why we elected him."

As soon as I saw this line “”liberal order we’ve built since 1945””, I wondered, maybe that’s why we’ve lost every war since then and I’m a veteran.

Lincoln is supposed to have said, “The Constitution is not a suicide pact”. Well, the same is true of the post-war liberal world order. It is that simple.

American patriots are elated.

I will be able to fly my flag for the first time in 8 long years after noon on Friday when we have a legitimate President again.

The Euro’s scammed us by not paying their way for their own defense. 50 years ago, maybe they needed some help. Not after 1991. There are more of them and their GDP in total is about the same as that of the USA. We’re done spending our blood and treasure to defend them. And btw, those Muslims Merkel has invited are going to be a bit of a problem that they are going to have to deal with. Not on our nickel.

And that is what the real problem is with libs, they cannot stand that American patriots are elated. Our happiness is their misery. What a fun time to be alive!

This nation is in a shambles. Europe hates us and is controlled by the Germans we fought two World Wars to prevent from controlling it.

Europe can fend for it sanctimonious morally superior selves. We have our own problems.

I did too, until Usurpation Day. I put it away until we had a legitimate President again.
That happens on Friday!

Anxious is good. That's what happens when real change is introduced. It knocks you out of your easy chair. You have to actually THINK for a change instead of just plodding along in the same old ineffective rut.

Your way wasn't working. Now sit down, shut up, watch, and learn.

Peasant’s with pitch forks worldwide have a whole lot of swamp draining to do. God bless Donald J. Trump.
