He's starting to actually sound like Kim Jung Il or any other deluded dictator. His latest tweet, following criticism of his plans to withdraw American troops from northern Syria, leaving his allies, the Kurds, at the mercy of turkey:


Varche

Tricky scenario.

Let our NATO ally obliterate the allies of the US. ISIS must be rubbing their hands.

The Donald. Excels at  rhetoric.

Oh, do not be fooled :)

He knows exactly what he is doing; putting America First, and using the power of his country to make others jump.  He takes no fool gladly, and is going to make sure they know the force, financially and militarily, he can apply.  He is enjoying himself in the Oval Office, but who knows what he is going to achieve in the long run. War? Maybe, but he just may succeed in making others, including Europe, not take the USA for granted and give them respect, as he is certainly highly unpredictable which makes him the most dangerous of Presidents for a long time, if not for ever! :( :(

Expect him to be re-elected as the red necks, and so much of America, are right there with him :D :D ;)

For an intelligent person you should really choose your words more carefully.

Being hard working and proud is nothing to be ashamed of and should be a label of compliment rather than one of derogation...

Onanists always think outside the box.

Incidentally, whilst that sinks in, As President, Trump has single handedly broken the economic back of Iran. So this is no empty threat.

Methinks he will wait till re elected unless there is overwhelming reason.

The sad thing really is that none (or very little) of what trump has promised these people will actually come to pass. Because the people trump really cares about are himself and the multi million/billionaires that put him where he is.

The rednecks and hillbillies who voted for him in good faith, are just the suckers playing his three card Monte.

It could be argued that, regardless of how he came to be elected, he has done more for the average American than Obama and Bush combined...

What metric would you use to measure this?

Under his administration, inequality in incomes has grown, Minimum wage is down (adjusted for inflation), and he's done his best to strip Unions of power, tried to abolish the Affordable Healthcare that Obama put in place while failing to control paid-for healthcare premiums.

On those bases it would seem the average American worker is worse off than they used to be.

I was not being derogatory, quite the opposite, and was thinking of the right wing element in the States like my old American friends, not the wishy washy Democrats who lost thousands of industrial jobs.  :)

Obamacare was far from affordable... :-X Tax reductions for the self employed, significantly raising tax thresholds of items such as gift tax from $12.5k to $15k, also removing the restriction of previously limiting 529 college savings plans from individual children to siblings and immediate family. To name but three ;)
