Following a recent foreign policy dust-up between the White House and Britain over unfounded allegations of spying, the liberal media took it upon themselves to speculate the future of the long standing relationship. And during ABC’s This Week the network’s chief foreign correspondent, Terry Morgan mocked the Trump administration and argued that all of Europe was laughing at the expense of the United States.
“He got an agenda in the world which is disruptive, like his agenda at home. They want to come to terms with it,” Moran stated, as he noted that Trump was sent by the American people, “And they're ready to do business with him… Instead, it's like Yik-Yak, that high school social media app where people say: ‘I heard somebody said something about him, about her.’”
“And they're lost in the weeds of the adolescence out of Washington,” Moran then chided as Roland Martin declared “That’s right!” Speaking for European leaders, Moran went on to claimed that “Their primary feeling is not ‘we don’t like the President’s agenda. He’s president of the American people. We can't deal with this guy!’”
Republican strategist Sara Fagan countered by reminding the rest of the panel that Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin managed to work with U.S.’ G-20 partners, and made a deal on a joint statement regarding protectionism. “The reality is, for all the noise around his comments and his tweets, the Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin is at a G-20 meeting and gets concessions from other countries in terms of the statement,” she said.
She also made it clear that other countries still had some respect for America’s place in the world. But Martin didn’t agree with her sentiment, forcefully saying:
But people want to respect us. And when -- and I was raised to respect the presidency. It would be nice if Donald Trump can respect the presidency. We want the president to be trustful and people to go, “I trust what he says.” We can't trust him.
Fagan recalled that Martin’s claim was used against George W. Bush by Democrats and by Republicans against Obama. “But the polls in Germany, in Britain are demonstrating that the sentiment is flipped,” Moran said, dismissing her analogy, “And that in fact, the White House is a laughingstock in the capitals of Europe.”
Where was this harsh criticism when Obama's failed "reset" with Russia allowed for the annexation of Ukraine's Crimea? What about Obama's infamous "red-line" in the Syria civil war? There no question from the liberal media about Obama's trustworthiness after the White House lied and claimed the Benghazi attack was caused by a YouTube video.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Meantime, you know Angela Merkel, Theresa May in Britain want to get beyond this.
TERRY MORAN: Totally. He got an agenda in the world which is disruptive, like his agenda at home. They want to come to terms with it. He's been sent by the American people to change things. Right? And they're ready to do business with him. Theresa May in particular. She's kind of on that side of the ledger. Instead, it's like Yik-Yak, that high school social media app where people say: “I heard somebody said something about him, about her.” And they're lost in the weeds of the adolescence out of Washington.
ROLAN MARTIN: That’s right!
MORAN: Their primary feeling is not “we don’t like the President’s agenda. He’s president of the American people. We can't deal with this guy!”
SARA FAGAN: I don't -- I mean, I think -- we'll see. I mean, the reality is, for all the noise around his comments and his tweets, the Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin is at a G-20 meeting and gets concessions from other countries in terms of the statement. It wasn't a big concession.
STEPHANOPOULOS: On protectionism.
FAGAN: Yeah, on protectionism. He had protectionism language pulled from the communication by the G-20. At a minimum, people still recognize that the United States is the most powerful country in the world. Most financially successful. And most importantly has the biggest military.

MARTIN: But people want to respect us. And when -- and I was raised to respect the presidency. It would be nice if Donald Trump can respect the presidency. We want the president to be trustful and people to go, “I trust what he says.” We can't trust him.
FAGAN: I agree the President needs to be truthful. However, having lived through a White House where people said: “George W. Bush makes the world -- the world doesn't respect the United States under George W. Bush.” And the Republicans said it under Obama. People from the opposite party always say that.
[Crosstalk]
MORAN: But the polls in Germany, in Britain are demonstrating that the sentiment is flipped. And that in fact, the White House is a laughingstock—
MARTIN: That’s right!
MORAN: --in the capitals of Europe.
MAGGIE HABERMAN: This is the risk, is that other countries, our allies, -- even non-allies—people aren’t, to your point, aren’t going to want to deal with us. That’s the phrase that I’ve heard repeatedly, “deal with the US.”
STEPHANOPOULOS: Even though that have too.
…
I suspect the opinion of carefully indoctrinated euro twits means little or nothing to anyone other than media idjets like Martin and Moran.

Well done, CondorFlight! How did you pull that one out of the hat?
The left cares intensely about superficialities. Obama sounded more sophisticated than Trump in the way he spoke, so it doesnt matter to them that Trump is hundreds of times more successful and accomplished than Obama.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Exactly right, and this mindset on the Left speaks volumes regarding the absolute shallowness of their entire adolescent worldview. Perfectly epitomizes the Millennial generation.
Fact is.................Obama was and is the laughingstock of the entire world.
Only liberals do not acknowledge that fact.
Sure makes you wonder what these people would do for a living if they weren’t employed by these nitwit networks, doesn’t it? Maybe janitorial work, maintenance or septic tank cleaning????
No, the MSM is the laughing stock
Yes indeed, I who as a child remember all of WW2. The supplies of food coming over on the Liberty Ships. Britain could only produce 20% of the nations needs for food. Had starvation taken place there would have been riots. The British Communists pre invasion of Russia,were already planning disruptions to vital industries.
Damn the effete Europeans and the horse they rode in on! Also the anti-American flunkies of the press. Please excuse the rant. Every day in Ontario, Canada I look across the St Mary' River. This at the tranquil, well ordered twin city in Chippewa County, Michigan.
God Bless America!

Terry Moran, Self: ABC News Nightline. Terry Moran was born on December 9, 1959 in Chicago, Illinois, USA as Terence Patrick Moran. He is an actor, known for ABC News ...
Our real problems occur when the Europeans love a pushover WH occupant.
Like the one who was in there for the past 8 years.
It has occurred to me that the senseless European PC on the Muslim invasion is their way of virtue signaling that they are better than the U.S. Finally a chance to show their moral superiority.
LET ME REPEAT THAT!
Moran had a massive meltdown on Twitter the day Trump signed travel ban 1.0. He kept posting sob stories and would post things like, “Thanks, Trump.” It was completely biased. Now, a news agency might decide at that point to reprimand their reporter for failing to be objective, but it’s ABC, so...
as a ragged urchin in Bavaria in 1945, I watched the 'Yanks' arrive. We had existed on some very suspicious ingredients made into black bread. Yet signs on fences and walls began to appear 'Yankee Go Home' even as the communists ate the food the Americans brought. The members of the Left are the greatest hypocrites in the world. Pity we can't let them starve, it seems to be what they want.
Apparently only an adult can cause a North African and Middle Eastern refugee crisis for Europe.
Fred, amazed at where you were in 1945. Thought you were in OZ since day one. Not to keep on about it, but one old fashioned word (old country style) will do. The Left are:
Barmy.
Those are Europe’s wages for NATO’s destroying Libya in a paroxysm of liberal fascism against Mohomar Gadaffi.
Obama’s ‘Arab Spring.’
It looks good on ‘em.Especially Merkel.
We were migrants to Oz in 1949. Mother was Austrian, father German killed in war.
I remember the tanks roll through town in the summer of ‘45.
I’m getting old...memories of that time are as sharp as if it was yesterday.
A garbage bin would suit Merkel.
We need to go in there for the singular reason that we don't want moslum-hellholes that close to us. We don't need to actually "liberate" Europe, we simply need to annex it. After all, it's one of our favorite vacation spots.
Obviously the Euroweenies are incapable of governing themselves and wouldn't put up any resistance, so we could just walk in and set up deportation facilities.
Then all we'd have to do is tell them what to do, and make sure they paid their taxes.
It appears they're "into it".
