Trump, Messing America Up?

GERMAN CHANCELLOR ANDREA MERKEL @ US Prez DJ Trump do not, we suspect, get along very well, do not like each other. Can you imagine that? First, Trump accuses NATO of being obsolete, a bunch of loser moochers, and demands more membership money. Then, he accuses Germany of unfair trade practices, particularly successfully selling too many cars in America. Imagine that, making Merkel mad. Making her love Trump less? She certainly is sensitive. Can she help it if Americans love Volkswagon all the more because it tried to cheat? American values. Meanwhile, on the other side of the other ocean, the Philippine dictator receives a congratulatory phone call from the American President, as Trump praises the dictator on murdering thousands of drug users in his war on drugs. Our president, friendly to a monster, mean to a progressive, loyal ally like Germany. Is this guy nuts, or what? Trump, like many conservatives, seems attracted to brutal brutal right wing dictators, and frightened by progressive democratic leaders who are his intellectual superior.. Maybe Trump thinks he can make a better deal with Germany by being tough with them, somehow, and can have more influence over the Philippine dictator by kissing his evil ass. Knowing Trump, who knows? Trump has a history of ruining more relationships and making more enemies than friends, and his bankruptcies are legendary, so, its not as if he is some kind of master business person, able to lead people and make good deals consistently. In fact, he has never demonstrated any such talent. His real strength seems to be bullying, lying, and cheating. With Trump, only the dramatic failures, especially in businesses and marriages, are consistent.
