It was a bargaining chip ffs, he wanted to scare the cheapskates who won't commit to paying 2% towards NATO. Germany one of the richest countries in the world pays a stingy 1.19%.He only did after refusing to affirm it in early June. His foreign policy experts no doubt told him to get his shit together on the NATO thing.

Actually just the opposite, for the first time in at least 12 years world leaders are once again looking at Americas leader as one with the resolve to back up his words.
In most circles abroad being unpredictable is a good thing when it comes to dealing with mal contents , but you have to be able to back up tough talk with action.
Trump is just what the doctor ordered.
America is back

Obama had huge plans for renewable energy. How many failed green companies did he...well, the American taxpayers...fund?
He sure did, Obama pissed away so much treasure we may never recover in terms of people believing in renewables.
"Green" energy is fine, but investment belongs in the private sector.
If there is legitimate progress and cost savings leading to profit the private sector will be lining up to invest.
The government is only good at throwing our money at it and hoping it pays off in political points.
When Obama wasted the money he wasted he should have been held accountable, instead here liberals are once again crying for us to try it again
Shame on them

This is why Trump is pessimistic about the "Climate Accord"
There has to be some common sense in the policy when you are signing agreements with countries with no skin in the game, wasting money is not in Trumps DNA,
wasting our money is really not in his DNA
"President Obama subsidized solar and other renewable energy in the United States with taxpayer money to the tune of $39 billion per year on average for the past 5 years. These massive subsidies, however, have done little to increase the contribution of solar power to the electricity generation mix as solar is expected to produce just 0.6 percent of electricity generation this year. Disregarding the cost to the American taxpayer and the failed solar projects in the United States, President Obama has pledged billions of dollars to fund solar energy development in India. On his trip to India, President Obama was hoping to bring back a deal similar to the one he made in China to peak the country’s carbon dioxide emissions by 2030. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi rejected the President’s proposed global warming deal, realizing his priority should be to bring power to the hundreds of millions of Indians that lack access to electricity.
At least 36 of his taxpayer funded green energy projects went belly up.

Merkel can lead Europe, we'll partner w/NATO and determine our own agenda..*gee what a concept*Merkel is insane.
Trump affirmed Article 5. You know what that means right? It means we'll shed blood and treasure in defending Europe. And Europe can't count on us?
Wtf.

One Australian pundit settles it for everyone? Alrighty then lol.
Trump made a speech in Poland that both Reagan and John Paul would approve of and liberals loathe him for it. Sort of tells you all you need to know.
So we should ignore the comments of a seasoned political commentator in favor of the Bold Assertion of a Drudge NoVAR?
Is that a trick question?
