#1 Yet, it resonates nicely.

#2 Doesnt matte r- th e media is starting in on Trump already. He is going to be attacked harder than any Republican ever because he has so many bombshells out there that can be used against him. The truth does nat matter to Trump, he keeps repeating lies until they sink in. And now its going to be done to him the same way.

Here's the first, probably of many.

Short of indictment, we are looking at President Hillary. Thanks Trump backers.

#3 "I can only hope that the election campaign in the USA does not lack the perception of reality," Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.

A discussion of 'reality' from a German politician? Rich, very rich indeed.

#4 Allies? Iran, Egypt, Saudi, Latin America, China? O has managed to Isolated us more with his lies than anyone. The media and Republicans have hurled everything but the kitchen sink at him already. He still stands and will remain. Much smarter than most and savvy to this world of tricksters. Corruption and greed rule here now. Press on Trumpsters and let the idiots squeal in the background. The majority now has awoken.

#6 With the exception of building a wall I see it as more of the same bull we have endured with O.
I do think the EU, Japan, and Korea should carry their weight on defense and not spend so much money on socialist welfare programs. I doubt anything will change given the turmoil caused by the Islamic invasion of Europe. The EU will have enough internal problems to keep them busy for decades.
What will happen is the same as Bush. Some antagonist will invade a friendly country and Trump or H will respond with troops. Either will not attempt overwhelming force.
But then, there is China....

#7 Criticism from Carl Bildt, a former Swedish prime minister and foreign minister! Sweden, for God's sake! You want to see a threat to the West? You want to see the result of the "Sweden last" policy? Take the Malmo ferry.

#8 Yes, they will squeal. My country will shit itself with Indonesia on the northern border. But the US voters have every right to put their country first and they should.

America is under attack as is the entire Western world, and you need to Make America Great Again.

only then can you help everyone else. Hope Trump cuts the UN budget.

#9 So we have three groups of foreigners: (1) Those that are evil and have been having a good time under Obama. They are probably not thrilled with Trumps foreign policy speech. (2) Those that love Obama but are unhappy with his policies of neglect, they want the US to do it all and pay for it all and still be able to blame the US for intervening all the time. They are not thrilled because the free ride would end. (3) Israel.

All things said I only care about the opinions of one of the three.

#10 I wouldn't be surprised if Trump had oppo research done on the press. How many reporters would repeat questions or be eager to ask when Donald holds out a hand for a folder with your name on it, containing pics of the reporter with drugs, hookers or whatever. Honestly, I wish the GOP had the spine to do that.

#11 Rj: into which of those categories would you put South Korea?

#12 I'd put them in with Israel. My post is less humorous if (3) becomes a short list.
