What he's doing against Iran (hint, he's not giving them pallets of money before releasing Gitmo terrorists back into the fight) and North Korea? The only reason these are friends and allies is because we give them BILLIONS of our dollars to be our friends and allies. Let's cut the cash off, and then we'll see who is really a friend of this country. Hint: they're not who your overlords tell you they are. Edited June 10, 2018 by LABillzFan 2

Let's see them maintain their delicate social-nanny states without us to foot their defense bill. Hope trump cuts those ingrates off at the nuts. I'd rather see we put our money and weight behind REAL Europeans. Like Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic/Slovakia.

ALF Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 This sounds like a good description of Trump ‘a bull who carries his own china shop around with him.' in regard to Eisenhower’s Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, not American diplomacy. https://richardlangworth.com/bull-in-a-china-shop

But to our real enemies not so much. Real tough guy. Who are our friends and who are our allies?? Maybe a lot of Trump supporters see a Putin dictatorship, oppression of opposition figures and no free press as a utopian wonderland that will save them from the demographic nightmare they fear so much. Trump sure is acting that way. He loves or fears Putin, that is for sure. A corrupt brotherhood of global oligarchs working to overthrow the democratic nations and make the world safe corrupt dictators might be their goal.

Because memes are a form of political speech which simplify complex ideas, and lampoon the ruling class. Again, the EU is the antithesis of political freedom. Why would anyone be surprised that they want to further curtail speech as it suits their ends? I'm honestly a bit surprised you aren't advocating for them putting the dissenters on lists and purging them.
