At some point does Trump become such an international

liability that other countries consider actions against him? I am not talking about Middle East bounties, but Western countries who would be affected as he takes them along with us to the brink of war.

It's why so many people have PTSD....

I guess I am wondering when Canada, France, and Germany start sanctions against the U.S. I mean, hell I wouldn't be surprised if WE were bombed from a country trying to eliminate him.

We are in full on lunacy now.

Especially after that drug fueled speech yesterday, he is a global menace and a danger to us all. Look at these Republican faces, if they are worried, we all should be worried.😳

There's nothing they can do about or to him, except maybe not invite him to their state events.

Etc. Do they start to treat us like we treat (or at least used to treat) despots.

In their own language Macron and Merkel should admonish Trump or breaking the Iran accord, and announce their respective countries are not going to pull out of the effort only to be attacked by virtue of the fact they are closer to Iran than the bully U.S.

I would like the seed planted in the mind of the MAGAbillies and Independents in those battleground states that Trump is too unstable internationally to serve another 4 years.

And you can bet with the election in the rear view mirror, Trump would send B-52 sorties over Iran as bad or worse than Nixon did in Vietnam.

most Nations only use him for their own needs,they do not trust him whats so ever.

Appears China and Putin have their game plan to carve up the World Economically. And the USA influence is being driven out of Nations just by Trumps behavior .

a game plan to carve up the Glob to sort their Political needs as well as their domestic needs. The US has pulled it's last military force of the African Continent couple weeks ago,leaving all to China which is turning Africa into it's Farm Colony in order to feed it's people. Mean while,Putin will take the natural Resources.
