“Yep thats what she heard, and it cut deep”

This is really just a part of Trump’s effort to stop America from essentially “funding the world!” We have been so ill-served by our government, sadly including to some extent even Ronald Reagan, for all of my nearly 78 years, and it took Trump to open everyone’s eyes to the dimensions of the problem. Friends and Allies who are such only because we “buy their loyalty,” aren’t really friends, but rather a bunch of whores that we’ve bought with our money. I don’t know, as a component of our budget, what foreign aid and military assistance is, but it’s not insignificant. And now that we are unraveling this trade imbalance, we may see that it’s a much larger cost to America. For the future, America’s role in “making the world a better place” needs to be pared down to the point where it isn’t an impediment to our growth and the health of our country and it’s citizens. And lastly, there needs to be a wholesale effort to get America’s “business leaders,” to be made to realize that so long as they are Americans and run their businesses from America, that they need to act in the best interests of our country, even if it minimally affects their f*cking wallets.

Hearing the truth that you don’t want to hear is sobering, especially when you have to pony up your fair share.

Sobering to realize that the Marshal Plan has finally ended.

The fascist anti-western idiot had to face reality for a moment.

Trump didn't pick up the tab.
Good for him and good for us.

“...will see who really wants to make America Great Again”

Yeah, it turns out that the Chamber of Communists, the Business Roundtable, the “Cock” Bros. should all be classified as anti-American entities and people!

Yes. The U.S. Gravy Train has been replaced with the U.S. Trump Train. I can see how that might make her sober and depressed. Suck it, Merkel. This is your new normal, i.e., “America First.”

Yeah, Angela, I’m sure it’s a real bitch kitty to meet up with a U.S. President whom the whole world can’t simply walk over and kick sand in their face ...

I wonder how asking the Eurotrash to remove their tariffs and trade barriers is taking advantage of them?

Look at the actual name of the University when Merkle attended and graduated.

A very close friend of mine attended and graduated with her.

The German Democratic Republic was created in 1949, and in 1953 for Karl Marx Year the University was renamed by its government the Karl Marx University, Leipzig after Karl Marx.

In 1991, following the reunification of Germany, the University’s name was restored to the original Leipzig University (Alma mater lipsiensis).

On hearing Frau Merkel, Hillary was heard to say “Damn. It would have driven me to drink. Sobering? I certainly hope not”

Heavens to Merkeltroid, embrace the suck.

None of her machinations has worked with Trump. She tried sending Macaroni and his Gramma over to the US on a charm offensive. Then she shows up a few days later and Trump tells her that it was all nice, but he ain’t buying it.

Do we need to say that enlisting the eyebrowless Cubanadian son of a Castro and a whore to take on Trump was a total disaster?

Yep, Embrace the suck Frau Angela. He is smarter than you and your clown posse.

The Bitches will get it eventually - may take a few slaps to get their attention.
