US President Donald Trump said Sunday that he does not care if Iran agrees to negotiate with the United States.

We spend trillions on defense. The upshot of that is that everyone else should be scared of US. I am not saying that we should lord over other countries. I am saying that no country should shit on us without repercussions.

But he is a diplomat. Just a tough one. He reminds me of the little Irish Catholic priest we had as a teacher. Disrupt the class and expect a heavy duty yard stick whopping your fingers or head.

Interesting that in addition to “no nuclear weapons”, he added “don’t kill your protestors.”

Trump’s got leverage. A lot of soldiers died to give America leverage over its enemies. I’m glad when it’s not wasted.

The media can suck it. We don't need them to protect the USA. Bunch of prima donnas.
