I would say A. Trump seemed to be successful on his trip as far as what happened in the Middle East. He got 12 countries to say that they will outlaw individuals in their country sending funding to terrorist groups.

He seemed to get the majority of Arab countries and Israel to approve of his rhetoric and appearance. It was only once he got to Europe that the social etiquette problems became an issue, yet there was nothing positive about his middle eastern swing from the left either in the attic nor in print or television media.

Even when he does something appropriate all he gets is negative coverage. Remember the Harvard study said that CNN and MSNBC's coverage of Trump is more than 90 percent negative and even with Fox it was 53 percent negative.

For those on the left, 53 percent negative may be completely appropriate as he has had far more than his share of gaffs, but more than 93 percent negative from CNN, come on. He hasn't been that bad so far. If you look at the things he has done that have outraged the left and compare them to the things that Obama did that outraged the right, they seem about the same.

Example Obama appeared to bow to the head of Saudi Arabia and Trump pushes the head of Montenegro out of the way. I would say that is pretty much equal as far as the outrage it should have caused, but the media covered Obama's as if it was just his way of setting an appropriate tone even though no U.S. president had ever bowed to a foreign dignitary before. Yet when Trump moves to the front of the line suddenly it is a huge faux paux according to the same media outlets.

If you look at the tone and rhetoric from both sides it is terrible, but I have never seen anything like what the left is currently doing in my entire lifetime.

F*****m is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and control of industry and commerce, that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. The first f*****t movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before it spread to other European countries. Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, f*****m is usually placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum.

F*****ts believe that liberal democracy is obsolete, and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing f*****t party—to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society.[8] F*****m rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature and views political violence, war, and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation. F*****ts advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.

For all of the illicitness surrounding President Trump and Russia, his motives have never been clear. If anything, a relationship of convenience between Trump and Vladimir Putin seemed more likely than an actual alliance.

The past week has increased the chances that something akin to an alliance exists.

— And a tweetstorm by my newsroom colleague Max Fisher, which starts with: “When I met with German leaders in January, they were already preparing for the possibility of breakup with the US.”

On political forums all across the country, the top issues facing our nation today in world filled with daily crises are being discussed in clinical detail... of course I'm talking about Trump's handshake/handhold/small-hand/shoulder-grabbing/golf-cart-riding with/of foreign leaders during his recent "homerun" overseas tour... now my question is tough, because I'm asking you, the decrepit membership of the Attic to put aside your political differences, and judge simply on merit, who is more ridiculous?

A) The lefty people that feel compelled to point out these social faux-pas and minor discourtesies and disrespects that Trumps does on a daily basis (much the same as the group that whined about Obama's apology tour and saluting with a coffee cup in your hand)

or

B) The righty people that feel compelled to defend his actions, regardless. (the Montenegro PM said is was cool, he shoved him, but didn't yell move!)

Personally I find both hilarious... and Macon's comments on the handshake were too funny! anyway, go ahead and weigh in ... we tally it up if it reaches page 2. Please include specific quotes form whomever you're ridiculing. LOL

Most of Europe's population has no idea that they owe their existence to the United States. Were it not for us the official language would be Russian. It was the US that prevented the takeover of Europe by Stalin. The only reason why Berlin was not completely owned by the Soviets was the Berlin Airlift. It was the strength of the US that allowed Nato to exist in tyhe first place. The concept of Europe paying for it's own defense is unthinkable the the leaders Europe. It's about time that the burden place on the American taxpayer for the defence of europe be greatly reduced.

By trump continuing to support those who have lied in their confirmation hearings or on their security clearance applications, and with Kushner's "back channel communications" request to the Russians through Sergey Kisliak, and then Kushner later met with a known Russian Spy, putting him at risk for manipulation by the Russians. The t***h will come out!

There will likely be charges of treason filed against Kushner at this point, or at the very least, he's going to lose his Security Clearance as a result of his communications as a private citizen with Sergey Kislyak AND the Russian Spy!

The entire trump administration is going down in flames, and they only have themselves to blame! That's what they get for electing an APPRENTICE as POTUS!!!

He doesn't know what he's doing!!!

Oblahblah DID NOTHING! Oh, wait! He got the Nobel Peace Prize (before he did anything...oh, wait. He did nothing useful except to promote his socialist agenda and worked toward his stated goal of leveling the playing field by lowering America's economy to more evenly match those of the third world).

Not sure about Trump, but i have to say i was totally scared of Her-rottenness and scared of the Clinton Crime Family and their deep ties to corruption and criminals. How many people associated with the Clintons have died a mysterious death? Always felt that Bill would be pulling hrc's strings. I know hrc is academically bright, but she is one of those that never has an original thought in her head, from what i could see. Only concentrates on what can get her elected or fame. She's notably devious, has a terrible temper and has difficulty relating to people I'm certainly willing to give Trump a chance, just the way any sane American would/should give any elected official a chance.

Getting pretty tired of of the likes of Pelosi, Schumer, Waters and others crying for impeachment before there are any criminal or treasonous offences. This speaks volumes of their inability to represent the people, their ineptness and their lack of understanding of the US Constitution and laws of this nation. Why aren't more people embarrassed and outraged by their behavior? Even if you have no confidence in Trump, he needs to be given the same chance as Obummer and others before him. Also, let's try to keep such conversations civil. no need for swearing. No, not offended, just disappointed.

RAR_man (not a Republican...independent and proud of it...I think!)

To the f*****tistic Progressives (all of them) anything that smacks as America First is repugnant and must be quashed by any means necessary. As we seen recently there are no limit to the lies, fabrications and disinformation they spread. The example right here on UHH is a perfect example of the lying f*****t Progressives tactics. Flood the forum with their crap 24/7. They are group thinkers and an independent America is a thorn in their side as it diametrically opposes their "America is always guilty" and world citizen views. They are a unique blend of f*****m and globalism.
