    The European Union and its international allies.
    We wield huge international trade and Uunited military force.
    IIR Trump tried to pick fights with the EU.
    When he isolates the US, who are you going to call to back you up?

    On the basis of a failed business dealing, not because he was just like the Orange Stain.

    https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/08/donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein-falling-out

    Since Jeffrey Epstein was arrested at a New Jersey airport and charged with sex trafficking, dozens of rich and powerful people long associated with the guy have gone to great lengths to distance themselves from him. One such individual is President Donald Trump, who told reporters last month that he’d had a “falling-out” with the sexual predator (who pleaded guilty to two counts of prostitution in 2008 and has denied the most recent charges) a decade prior. Trump Organization lawyer Alan Garten has also attempted to downplay the connection, telling Fox News in 2016 that the then-candidate had “no relationship” with Epstein, that they “were not friends,” and that they “did not socialize together.” Of course, video footage, investigative reporting, and contemporaneous quotes from Donald Trump himself prove that’s not the case at all.

    In 2002, for instance, the real estate developer told New York, “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” Per the New York Times, in 1992, Trump directed Florida businessman George Houraney to organize a “calendar girl” competition at Mar-a-Lago, and after 28 female contestants were procured, revealed that the other guests
    were just “him and Epstein.” Video footage from that same year shows the two men partying together at the Palm Beach resort with cheerleaders for the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, laughing, chatting, and, in the case of Trump, pawing at women. The friendly relationship continued for more than 10 years after that, with the two men reportedly dining at Epstein’s mansion and attending many of the same dinner parties; according to Epstein’s brother, Mark, Trump would comp Epstein’s mother and aunt at one of his Atlantic City casino hotels and flew on Epstein’s private jet—the one he allegedly used to ferry underage girls to his private island of horrors—“numerous times.” One person who observed both men told the Washington Post that “they were tight” and that, nauseatingly, “they were each other’s wingmen.”

    Ultimately, Epstein and Trump did have a falling-out. According to a new report from the Post, however, it didn’t have anything to do with Epstein’s disturbing behavior with underage women, but, naturally, a real estate deal.

    So, the Orange Stain can get away with stealing classified documents?

    Trump isn't president.
    America has the largest military in the world ($$$) of the next 10 nations ... combined
    President Biden is trying to mend the fences tRaitor tRump tore down.

    And tragic. TRaitor tRump could have been a decent president if he had just done his job, tried to unite instead of divide (at least once in awhile), not made his top priority "GETTING" reelected from the day he "WAS" elected, maintained our alliances and not cozzied up to our enemies. If he'd have just done that he would be President today.

    Okay, you support the Donald. However, to those of us who are just as happy he is gone (albeit not thrilled with his replacement), his releasing a video like that immediately following the incident can be seen as having forced the FBI to do this for the publicity. I mean surely his crack PR team didn't put that together in 12 hours. They were already prepared for it.

    Lol…Brandon said he has no idea about the raid. That is as credible as Obama saying he has no idea about the IRS going after conservative groups after weaponizing the IRS.

    Yes, we heard leftists said for four years, heck even before he announced his candidacy back in 2016, that Trump is finished

    Indeed.
    Trump was quite clear he wasn't interested in the ROW if he couldn't control the key international alliances.
    He threatened to pull out of the World Trade Organisation for example.
    Now tell me why anyone outside the US should take him seriously.

    I was listening to à major UK radio programme yesterday discussing Trump.
    Which is unusual. He is hardly ever mentioned across Europe.
    The discussion concentrated on the phenomena of brainwashing...the slow dripfeed of progressively shallow information/propaganda which builds à set of walls around the mind and convinces you that the inside is the only reality.

    Come on people!!
    Trump is a practised SALESMAN!
    He is not the MESSIAH accorded à second coming.
    He is no one spécial. He did nothing spécial. He made no one's lives measurably better.
    Instead he left à country far more divided than he had found it, and alienated his allies.
    The chaos and destruction of the Capitol is a perfect metaphor for what he did during his Presidency and how he left the country.

    Trump is a con-man plain and simple, but a very good one; maybe the best. Like all con-men he's in it for the guick "get". He's not good at long term planning, his method, like all con-men, has always been get in, get mine, get out and don't get caught.

    What's made tRaitor tRump so insipiently, pathologically, fundamentally and threateningly dangerous is he's backed by extremely deep pockets (Mercer's) that want, and are arrogant enough to believe they can, take over These United States with an autocratic puppet (Trump).

    "They" have surrounded tRaitor tRump with a "Seditious Cartel" of very cleaver, unprincipled traitor's (Steve Bannon, Steven Miller, ...) that have a long term plan and no principles to stop them executing it. TRaitor tRump on his own hasn't the brain's or foresight to pull such a plan off. But he loves power and is a very willing dupe figurehead. 2020/21 was just a trial run, they have expanded their Cartel with ever more treasonous participants from across my Country. Given the slightest chance they won't fail again. These truly are "Times that try men's souls".

    I disagree. I think Trump is a vengeful man, and it started when Mr. Obatard made joke of him on live television at the correspondence dinner :)


    And then Trump set his goals, when Mr. Obatard told the nation he would not be President ;)

    FLASHBACK: Obama Mocks Trump, Says He’ll Never Be President
    So you want to blame someone for this cluster ****, then you only have to turn to the ramblings of Mr. Obatard, the DNC darling with a big mouth :)

    Well, we know Acosta was part of the Obama administration and an Obama donor.
    I gave you a source.

    So you if you are saying that Trump vetted and hired Acosta please share your source.
