WTF???? Our POTUS is being "schooled" by the despotic leader of ... Turkey .... of all things ...
LOL!
diplomacy and political courtesy??
From a guy who just ransacked the border within minutes of our exit?
This is why Trump was elected.
F*ck diplomacy and courtesy with these animals.
Ask once.
Then suggest.
If they still don't listen then shut them off. No more money. No more protection. No more trade.
Next time a pet project doesn't get funded, remember how many corrupt foreign politicians we keep well fed.
I'm all for diplomacy with people who deserve it. You want my respect then earn it.
And if other countries don't want to respect us or our President, fine. But don't cry when your outstretched hand is left empty next time we open our piggy bank.
Why do we constantly pay into countries that disrespect us, then worry about disrespecting them?
