Despise us and consider us their enemy, because we are actually.

We will either march alongside Russian soldiers and invade Europe soon or we will support Russia in doing so.

But hey I understand you had to bash Hillary Clinton because she wouldn’t guarantee universal healthcare.

Along with all the other hostile acts that TFG has done, rejecting our long time allies and siding with our long time adversary. Suddenly, due to TFG, we're now a pariah in this world. I've traveled overseas in the past, but this is sure not the time to do it. I was always proud to be from the United States, but who knows if we'd be welcomed now? Plus I'm not a great flyer and I'm certainly not going to fly anywhere now, nor drive to our closest neighbor, Canada,

And I've often thought of al the chances we missed, JFK, RFK, Al Gore and certainly my former senator, Hillary Clinton - how different this country could be today.

Li’l Marco, who once championed USAID, killed it and is asking for Congressional approval. The list of labels beginning with “sorry, trifling, chicken shit, lower than whale shit, greedy bastards, etc.” could go on and on. Non of their words mean damned thing.

Given his lack of performance in the Oval Office confrontation, I fear that he is not the best peace emissary that we could send.
