I realize this, and I apologize if it appears that I am accusing you of such. It is the American Leftists and the global Anti-American clamorers that I oppose; Not you. I oppose some of your ideas, but I respect you immensely.

Europe needs U.S for protection and stability...From the U.S. point of view I can understand it seems that Europe is leeching on the U.S. Problem is, what is cheaper? To stabilize Europe financially and militarily to prevent any "shenanigans" like WW1/2 or jump in when **** already has hit the fan? You can tariff the Europeans all you like, but that will push them away towards Russia. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Choose your poison.
I know it's childish, petty, and trite of me. Yet, I would love to quote this and add "Oh Yeah? In your face!" in reply to anyone and everyone who ever makes specious statements about America being the laughing stock of the world. You've restored my faith in the open-mindedness and fairness of people all over the world.
