She was a nurse, is actively involved in environmental issues and is quietly moderate in her political views. He's a retired business owner...bright, worldly, a decorated Navy vet, and an openly conservative Republican (in the pre-Trump sense of what Conservative Republicanism meant...unyielding core principles and a respect for the Constitution.)
Knowing who we had voted for, during the Obama 'era", he often took some friendly pleasure in telling us that Europeans he met aboard ship generally regarded Obama as indecisive, too hesitant, even weak in his foreign policy. Observations that are not entirely unfair, IMO.
When we got together this past Winter the subject eventually turned to Trump, for whom he had reluctantly voted. (Anybody But Hilary) When I asked what the Europeans they'd met this past summer aboard ship thought of Trump he said Trump was seen as a churlish , self- absorbed embarrassment...an assessment he now regretfully shares.

I don't think that just about anybody on the planet would dispute that. I also think that most Presidents have the same traits but they are smoother about it so they aren't an embarrassment. As I said before though, I couldn't care less about what Europeans think. Their politicians are a joke too. As long as the economy is thriving that's all that most people care about anyway even though they don't admit it. Their are a ton of closet Trump voters out there."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

60, if the EU is pissed and Iran and Canada and Mexico are all pissed---- that tells me just exactly how great Trump is doing. Like you I care about America, not the other clowns who have been taking advantage of us for decades now.
And like you I really don't give qa flying fuck what other "elites" think of us. And IMM only someone who has such low esteem and low self confidence would care either.

Some people should take a good look at Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal for some good laughs for starters. The Brits have a good comedy show of their own going on. They base their whole lives on their version of the National Enquirer and who the prince of Wales is fucking. Yeah, I'm going right to them for advice."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

Not to do with the thread but.....
What I find humorous is that I don't ever remember being pissed off at another country except the Russians once in awhile.
Not sure if you mean you personally or the US but the US is always pissed at someone. We have spent more time at war than anyone else.
They base their whole lives on their version of the National Enquirer and who the prince of Wales is fucking
Have you checked EVERY checkout stand in the US? We lead the world in tabloid nonsense. And people across the US woke up at 3 in the friggin morning to watch that nonsense even though he isn't our prince.
I'm pretty sure the US is just as F'ed up as any other country.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy

Everybody needs to be very very very careful ....... The media lies, yes, all the media.
They lie factually, they lie by omission, they lie by characterization, they lie by slanting, they lie by just making stuff up, they lie by taking things out of context.
I try my best to judge by action not what is being spewed, said, twisted or shoved down my throat.

The irony of an ardent Trump supporter complaining about ANYBODY ELSE lying is simply too delicious.
