Fair Trade is now to be called Fool Trade if it is not Reciprocal. According to a Canada release, they make almost 100 Billion Dollars in Trade with U.S. (guess they were bragging and got caught!). Minimum is 17B. Tax Dairy from us at 270%. Then Justin acts hurt when called out!

Why should I, as President of the United States, allow countries to continue to make Massive Trade Surpluses, as they have for decades, while our Farmers, Workers & Taxpayers have such a big and unfair price to pay? Not fair to the PEOPLE of America! $800 Billion Trade Deficit...

....And add to that the fact that the U.S. pays close to the entire cost of NATO-protecting many of these same countries that rip us off on Trade (they pay only a fraction of the cost-and laugh!). The European Union had a $151 Billion Surplus-should pay much more for Military!

....Germany pays 1% (slowly) of GDP towards NATO, while we pay 4% of a MUCH larger GDP. Does anybody believe that makes sense? We protect Europe (which is good) at great financial loss, and then get unfairly clobbered on Trade. Change is coming!

RE: Trump tweets from Singapore
I said this the other day on a Marshall political board I post on. For the last 70+ years the U.S. has been like Europe's drunk, rich uncle. The kids really don't like us, they are envious of our money and power, but they have been willing to listen to our stories because they always get a bunch of really cool presents from us. If we stop giving presents they pout and throw a tantrum.

They are allies only in the sense that they need us. We want to go stop a dictator or genocide somewhere and they will throw in a small, token force to go with us, but rely on us to actually supply the hardware, manpower and money for the operation.

They better be careful, they'll miss their $800 billion surplus more than we'll miss our $800 billion deficit. Especially when Trump decides to max our UN contribution based on the average percentage of the other G7 members.

As I said before, all Trudeau did was piss Trump off - bigly.

Now the gloves come off.

**** will get 3-D real and you liberals havent seen anything yet.

That's why I wish we would take Poland up on this offer:

Yeah but he doesn't always present it in a thoughtful, well written way. These tweets were on point and well written.

If he keeps making points like this even rabid liberals will have a hard time arguing against him.

Dennis Rodman is more important to denuclearizing North Korea than feckless Obama.

Let that sink in.

You know, a lot of these guys never had an Alpha type positive male role model father figure in their lives.

In a way, I think they actually WANT Trump to get on them since then they can make amends and seek his approval - just like when we were kids and we always wanted to get the nod of approval from our old man.

Yes ?

If so, where can I send the bill to ?

I agree with this last point. He often has a point, but he presents it in such a belligerent way that we end up talking about his presentation skills, and not his point.

See 90% of the 'lies'. In most cases, the point he's making is valid (even if one disagrees on the best response) but he delivers it poorly and the left attacks that.

I understand that sometimes this is his purpose, but far too often it obviously isn't.

Id say the last point is the most important. It is high time that the countries that we protect with the lives of OUR military pony up the cash to pay for that security. That..or get the F out and force them to protect themselves. No damn wonder these countries can afford healthcare and other social programs that we can't. The don't have military budgets sucking the money away. Time to pony up leeches!!!
