Trump Strikes Again: More Threats to Allies, Friends, Neighbors, and Partners Why

US-ROK Forces in Annual Military Training Exercise

Trump again threatens a close ally, this time South Korea, our best and closest Asian military ally.

Trump warns them: To pay 50% more (they now pay $830 annually) or we leave.”

Why does Trump threaten our friends and allies and break or threaten to break or cancel treaties, partnerships, or agreements?


What is it with Trump and his demand as a one-man show: “It’s me only and the U.S. will always be #1 and alone if necessary unless you abide by my rules.”

Trump's hate everything list: The UN, NATO, the TPP, the Paris Climate Accord, the Iran Nuclear Deal, the G-7, and now *his threats to Turkey (our NATO ally) over Syria/and the Kurds who have helped in Syria against ISIS, and now (again) South Korea (LA Times story).

(* Threatens Turkey with “economic devastation” if they attack the Kurds – that’s not the way to solve a problem. Note: Trump backed off one day later – ref: this CNN report).

My 2 cents: Donald J. Trump is a direct threat to common sense, decency, and history relative global stability since WWII. 

One simple question: How much more can we tolerate from this man in office?

Proving my point is his so-called dealing with North Korea while threatening our ally, South Korea. What a joke.

Plus, we can see again what an awful ineffective negotiator he is, and all the while he brags about being the greatest. He’s a joke.

Thanks for stopping by.
