McCain: Trump 'diminishing America’s leadership'
The Hill ^ | June 8, 2018 | Alexander Bolton

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) excoriated President Trump on Friday for calling on Russia to be invited back to the Group of Seven, blasting the move as the “antithesis” of principled realism and “a sure path to diminishing America’s leadership in the world.”

He became the third Republican senator to condemn Trump’s statement that the G-7, a group of major industrial powers, should not be meeting this weekend in Quebec without Russia.

McCain contrasted Trump’s friendly words for Russia to his hard-line negotiating tactics with allies such as Canada, Mexico and the European Union on trade.

“The president has inexplicably shown our adversaries the deference and esteem that should be reserved for our closest allies,” McCain said in a statement.

This guy needs to piss or get off the pot. I’m sick of his wife’s tweets or press releases while her old man is either dying or playing with paper dolls. It is wrong in so many ways for the people of Arizona.

We have much more in common with the Christian Russians than we do with McCain’s muslim friends.

It’s not inexplicable. Our allies are still our friends, but some countries have had their national security subsidized by the U.S., while also benefiting from trade deals that squeeze low/middle-income workers more than the affluent. Trump to allies...that’s not acceptable any more.
