If Trump likes us, I feel like we've gone wrong somewhere

Don't worry, he only likes the white ones

It's only because we've got a royal family and he likes the golf in Scotland.

I’m sure being liked is the correct metric to decide trade agreements with far reaching consequences.

I’m wondering if it’s anything to do with us not being in the mean and nasty EU.

So they're protected somewhere between 2 hours and 4 years?

Remember the NAFTA-Deal he negotiated and then called one of the worst deals he has ever seen?

This really just sounds like dictator bullshit... No logic to it other than "I am the leader and I like them so they get a pass." Ffs...

Did you see how he was treated at the G7? Like some tyrant from Game of Thrones with other leaders terrified of upsetting him.

I'm sure previous Presidents were just as entitled as Trump but they had more decorum and at least pretended to be in an alliance of equals.

Trump has shown how the "West" is really just the US and it's client states.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
