(146,327 posts)Can you explain?
I lived in Turkey for 15 months, courtesy of the USAF. I'm left-handed. I learned how to do many things with my right hand while in that country. It was the polite thing to do. Why would I want to come off as ignorant and rude?
So, please do tell us why you would applaud Trump for doing that.

(228 posts)No respect and mockery and shame. They are brutal murderous tyrannical dictators and shouldnt even be allowed in our country without being arrested for crimes against humanity.
I cant speak for the other poster but that is why id applaud him if he does.

(2,810 posts)The regime literally crucifies a pro democracy protester (after torturing a confession out of him) and yet sits on the UN Human Rights council. There's more outrage against Ms. America for using the term "equalist" than there is for Saudi Arabi.

(115,831 posts)He's regarded as boorish and stupid. If you want an insult to stick it has to be done by someone with credibility.
