Thanks to Spanky, we will get zero cooperation for years to come

regarding major international agreements. What country in their right mind would sign on to anything we propose? They certainly won't with Spanky, and even when he is gone they will worry that another similar repuke piece of shit might show up after another stolen US election. We are doomed.

feel sorry for us and realize not all of us are deplorables. They will welcome us back but we will have to show and prove our next president is sane and cares about politics and peace around the world.

This crap might drag out until 2021. Just look at the damage done in a little over a year.

I really want him to go down ASAP so maybe a heart attack or a stroke will save us.

If a nations word is only good for the duration of the current regime, there’s no point in making agreements which span beyond that regime’s tenure. It destroys the entire foundation of diplomacy. Our childlike President is turning us into a banana republic.

Isolate the US so we are cut off from allies the same as an abusive spouse isolates the abused victim. Is this another thing (Iran's nuclear stuff) on Putin's checklist he wants Trump to do?

but it will be from sh*theels like Little Rocket Man who have absolutely no intention of abiding by their promises...

but photo ops of those promises and signing ceremonies will be plentiful, which is all that Traitor Dotard cares about.

He's in office because of the voter base they spent decades cultivating. All of the Republican candidates were against the deal, and so any of them might have done this.

And the Republican President before him started a war to carry out a pet project that the rest of the Republican leadership backed all the way.

Trump is the Party and the Party is Trump. No free passes.
