US politics general thread

I was wondering when Trump was going to ask that Russia be allowed back into the G7 (8).

You could see he practiced his lines on that one.

Wrecking 70+ year old alliances for his buddy Vlad.

Seems to me the only thing really stopping them being in the G8 is their continued presence in Crimea. Vlad could just hand it back to Ukraine and ta-dah!

Yeah, odd that they don't like members invading other countries. Trump called it "something that happened a long time ago".

Kelly hits one year on the job next month, the demarcation point he has been trying to reach. Asked by some senators at the WH last week how he is, Kelly replied ,”Horrible.” The WH is “a miserable place to work.”

Meet the guys who tape Trump's papers back together
The president's unofficial 'filing system' involves tearing up documents into pieces, even when they're supposed to be preserved.

American-Russian relations were pretty good until the Bolsheviks entered the picture. America even tried to help the Russians against those animals. History looks like it is repeating itself, hopefully this time both countries will get rid of Bolshevik-type BS.

Well, Trump is a neo-bolshoy for one

What's that got to do with anything?

What does 70+ years of alliances got to do with anything, if you currently get very one-sided free trade from them?

Aah, look at you, all-in on deficits and cars just like tRump. Deficits bad. Mercedes bad. BMW bad. Hulk smash. Hulk bash... Please, never let your myopathy get in the way of fact or reason. You're more endearing to us just the way you are.

Deficits are actually bad. For everyone.
The US doesn't have a endless suply of money even though they can just print it out of thin air. They'll have to pay back the debt at some point.

Personally I don't think Trump has enough time to save them and by extension the world economy, but atleast he seems to understand what's going on. All the other idiots just want the US to keep on consuming and printing. They don't even know what's good for them.

Or if the French president out-alphas your handshake and makes spicy jabs at your expense

Just as well Trumpie and the GOP blew out the budget by a Trillion Dollars then... Such good policy. So much winning.

I prefer a firm handshake. There is nothing worse than shaking another man's hand if he has limp little girl hands, but it has never really been a competition. That's just stupid. I don't care and never understood the media and lefties obsession with it.

The tax cuts was a good start but we'll only see the positive affects from that in the longer term.
Now obviously he sould cut the government spending as well, but what? Military spending seems like the obvious choice, but he can't do that because the swamp will impeach him. They are trying so hard to keep the coldwar going. How can Trump cut military budget without playing right into the hands of the Russian hackers.

Where's the tweet where he brags about having a superior handshake or strong hands? I haven't seen it yet. Please link it. That would be funny.

So if there's no tweet it didn't happen? you just going to pretend you've forgotten trump's handshake antics, he's laughable attempt at 'dominance' through a handshake? The media found it funny as hell then and still do!

That's all just the leftie media's attempt at some satire (otherwise known as fakenews). If it was a real thing for Trump he would have tweeted about it. He tweets about everything.

It's these pathetic actions added to his words, (not to mention his personal history) which do more to convince me that trump is indeed just as stupid a bully as he appears, that he is not playing some deep game, and that trump supporters are drooling idiots who need a strongman archetype to lead them through life.
