    Your complete distortion of this indicates the degree of your extreme and unreasoned bias.

    Likewise, if you are ever invited at a dinner at your somewhat still tense in-laws, why don't you stick your dck into the mashed potatoes if you feel like doing so? It would show character and how much of your own man you really are.

    Man, the insecurity...

    Of course not, but the reply to that very childish challenge is that trump needs to be very concerned about what he is doing to our international relationships. Why didn't you think of that with it being so obvious? Too "loyal"?

    Shaking hands is simply a nice and warming gesture, before and after the conference.
    The people of Germany already don't like Trump, Germany was one of the countries that made a angry rooster replica of Trump. Trump should have kissed up to Merkel if he wanted to improve his image with Germans. A arrogant leader does not equate to a strong leader.

    People tend to forget Trump lied about not being an isolationist. The world would disagree, Mr. Trump.

    That's it - Trump didn't want to yank Merkel around like that with his power handshake. He was, in fact, just being polite and full of cares. A gentleman.

    And what's up with the crotch-length ties?
    Is he trying to hide that he has no crotch bulge?

    That's a given even if the orange buffoon doesn't make it to the end of the year, which I am pretty sure he won't.

    Just like Madonna, stating that she's contemplated blowing up the white house, simply because she doesn't like the POTUS, & the violent asshats destroying property, & impeding the ability for conservative folks to practice their first amendment right, is the New face of Liberalism.

    All of this extreme side taking, is doing wonders for us U.S. Citizens.

    I would take a look at many of his cabinet picks. They are the ones that invested a lot of money to fill the swamp. He has the richest cabinet in history and I do not see them willing destroying their investment.

    You do realize some people say one thing and do another?

    I would also look at Trump's history in dealings before he ran and became President.

    He on many occasions refused to pay workers and small business owners. When they sued he would counter sue sometimes and attempt to bury them in legal fees. There is a reason the cases he settled or lost involved people who had the means to defend themselves or got help from people that had those means.

    Trump University. Do not need to say more there.

    He used his "charity" to pay for a portrait of himself, gave money to an AG that was trying to decide if to prosecute Trump University, his last donation to his own charity was in 2008, has been used to pay contest he has given and more.

    As for his personal charitable contributions he includes things like paying for Serena William's plane ride and picture he given her when she did a ribbon cutting ceremony opening a tennis center at one of his clubs. He listed it as a charitable gift to the Serena William Group which did not receive any money. He said he gave $1m to a veteran's group. When someone researched it they found that no veteran group received any money from him, his companies or foundation. He has not given any money to his own foundation for over 8 years.

    Then of course there are the claims he makes that are easily proven false. Size of the crowd, it stopped raining when he gave his speech, largest electoral college win since Reagan, murder rate highest it has been in decades, saying he was in Scotland the day of the Brexit vote, claimed he did not support the Iraq War, 2 people were shot in Cleveland during Obama's farewell speech, took credit for the $600m cost reduction for the F-35, The US was giving Iran $150B, Kuwait issued a travel ban on Muslim countries and he would not be taking trips and stay in Washington doing his job. There is more of course.

    I have a hard time understanding people putting so much faith in this man. His past and present behavior suggest he is someone whom you should not trust what he says.

    He can't be bought or persuaded like the Clintons were. He defeated every Republican and the democrat candidate. The People know something you don't.

    Name calling and labeling is so juvenile. But to address the question, Yes sometimes a message needs to be sent that being an ally is a two way street.

    If Obama was demanding other nations pay what they owed us the left would be all in favor. It all comes down to partisanship.

    So are you saying it is okay being dishonest and do questionably moral things if it is in the person's own interest and not being influenced by someone else?

    As for the People knowing something I do not, 54% of voters cast their vote for someone else.

    Are you not going to address his cabinet picks and the money they spent to get favorable legislation for themselves and businesses? Do you think they had a change of heart and will now push for campaign finance reform? Has Trump mentioning anything about it and pushing to keep money from influencing politics?

    Do you think it is okay to use the system and knowing a small businesses and employees can not stand up to him so he could get away with not paying them?

    You did not address anything in my post. How about telling me what that something is I do not know?

    Shaking hands with foreign leaders who you invite to the White House?????

    that sort of thing is for people with a sense of civility, self-respect, decency and honor.

    All that matters is that President Trump didn't bow to any foreign leaders or monarchs like Obama did.

    Doing a little research, it seems Chancellor Merkel flies in a really small plane compared to Air Force One or Trump Force One.
    But bigger than Hillary's "Stonger Together" Boeing 737. :roflol:

    Merkel's Airbus A-319.

    Trump Force One and Hillary's 737.

    Still not going to address any of my points? Are you saying the people who sued him for not being paid are "fake" news and not backed by public record? That Trump did not mention these cases at all?

    How about him hiring illegal workers and threatening them with deportation if they complained about not being paid or below minimum wage?

    How about his "charity" he used to pay personal legal fees and other things to benefit himself?

    How about addressing anything in my first post? A lot of that was reported on before he was a candidate or President it just got more attention when he started campaigning.

    How about letting me in on the thing the People know that I do not?

    What I find hard to understand is the blind faith some people give someone they do not personally know. Some people lie, cheat and/or steal in this world. Some people are good at conning others. Some of these people call themselves a Republican or Democrat.
