7/15/18: Trump rests after four busy days in Europe. In short order he has managed to insult our closest NATO allies. Still, he claims to have won a great victory when he says he forced them to agree to increase defense spending. Leaders of Italy and France both call him – in diplomatic terms – a liar. The agreement they made in 2014, when Obama was in office, to raise spending to 2% of GDP by 2024 remains. Trump has attacked German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He has undercut Prime Minister Theresa May of Great Britain. Then he denied he undercut her and labeled The Sun, which ran a critical interview of May given by the president, “fake news.”
The Sun responded by posting the tape of the interview, proving Trump said everything they said he said.
Ready or not, Donald is off to meet with Vladimir in
Helsinki.

Trump is happy to criticize our allies. Russia? Not so much. |
