[quote=ocrenter]Let’s not lump in a friendly phone call to Taiwan with Trump’s very real problems, such as his conflicts of interest, ill treatment of minorities, and pledges to “build the wall.” Rather than jumping to conclusions about whether something is good or bad, right or wrong, depending on what Trump thinks about it, I hope we can look at issue on their own terms.[/quote]
That’s the nutshell. Trump says it == bad, Trump doesn’t like it == “good”.
If it wasn’t so sad, I’d chuckle, but since I have a large contingent of friends still visible via facebook in the midwest, I get see one side sharing their fakenews praising Obama for ending the DAPL standoff while the other side sharing their fakenews about the America haters in the world getting an ass pucker by Trump naming ‘Mad Dog’.
All the while it seems more and more everyday like the world really does run like 1970s/1980s high school with jocks, geeks, bullies and popular cliques. The EU and America is being run by the nerdy kids and the rest of the world has the likes of Putin, Assad, Rousseff.
The Western leaders are planning a nice prom and acting like were all going to go sing kumbaya, solve climate change and be happy, but all the regular high school kids know somebody is getting pigs blood dumped on them.
Yea, it’s a cynical take and I’m sure it’s “much more complex”
