Tiberius Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/03/mega-leak-transcripts-trumps-foreign-leader-phone-calls-emerge.html Transcripts of calls with international leaders within the story. Interesting to read the actual dialog. Trump is no different than you'd think, and the other world leaders have to exercise incredible tact to maintain their dignity and respect for the US. This is amazing!! "The Jan. 28 call with Turnbull became particularly acrimonious. “I have had it,” Trump erupted after the two argued about an agreement on refugees. “I have been making these calls all day, and this is the most unpleasant call all day.” Before ending the call, Trump noted that at least one of his conversations that day had gone far more smoothly. “Putin was a pleasant call,” Trump said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “This is ridiculous.”" "He described the wall as “the least important thing we are talking about, but politically this might be the most important.”" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 And yet he STILL beat Hillary Clinton. The Lord does move in mysterious ways. But Hillary wouldn't have accomplished much anyway with a devilish Congress. Trump is president and the Republicans are working on fixing Obamacare! I love that! Who won?

ALF Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 US embassy employees in Cuba possibly subject to 'acoustic attack' One official said the employees could have suffered permanent hearing loss as a result. The employees affected were not at the same place at the same time, but suffered a variety of physical symptoms since late 2016 which resembled concussions. http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/09/politics/us-cuba-acoustic-attack-embassy/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going from this quote "But diplomats said that after the US and Cuba restored full diplomatic ties in 2015, the campaign of harassment stopped." The article made it sound like the harassment has restarted . If it is happening now then it is Trump's problem to deal with .

Please tell me how that was Trump's responsibility? Then maybe you can explain the wisdom of normalizing relationships with a murderous regime which openly harassed State staffers and then got them seriously injured in 2016.
