Quote:I disagree... have you seen our allies reaction to trump? Britain was debating not allowing trump enter their soil. He'd isolate us from our allies.


As for Putin, he's no friend to us interests. Once trump gets briefed by the generals and other military advisers, he'll be in the same spot Obama is in...


What's worse, trump doesn't know anything but running his mouth, that not how you handle a dictator like Putin.


Trump exacerbates everything. He has no diplomatic experience. Let's not be naive here.

 

With the UK leaving the EU, they are going to be more reliant on the US than ever when it comes to making trade agreements/partnerships.  They have a better chance with Trump of making solid arrangements than they would with a corrupt Clinton.  Maybe if they grease the skids and donate heavily to her family charity, they might benefit.  Otherwise, not so much. 

 

We don't know anything about Trump beyond the media narrative that you lap up like a man who has been walking in the wilderness for days with no sustenance when he finally stumbles upon fresh water and food.  How Trump will deal with being president will depend heavily upon who he surrounds himself with to serve as advisors.  I have a much higher hope that he'll bring in good, qualified people to help with the decision making process than Clinton, who will look to fill her cabinet with the most politically correct candidates possible regardless of qualifications.  For her, it's about satisfying groups than getting the best people for the job. 

 

If all Trump knew how to do was run his mouth, I'm fairly certain he wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the overall success he's enjoyed in the private sector. 

 

Trump will not be the diplomat in his administration.  That's not the role of the president.  And if we're going to talk about experience, let's look at Clinton's actual track record and the mess she left in her wake as Secretary of State, or her resume of success in the Senate.  The only real success she's had in her career is marrying well enough to get into the White House.
