    There are two political leaders on that stage. The head of the most powerful democracy in the world and the Argentinian President, hosting the event who looks bemused and humiliated by his behaviour. Given that Trump hasn't tweeted anything derogatory about Argentina or its leaders, what do you think the geo-political advantage the legend achieved by this?

    You can see why some of his more devoted and slavish supporters tie themselves in knots!

    Today on twitter

    I am certain that, at some time in the future, President Xi and I, together with President Putin of Russia, will start talking about a meaningful halt to what has become a major and uncontrollable Arms Race. The U.S. spent 716 Billion Dollars this year. Crazy!

    March 21st 2018

    Got $1.6 Billion to start Wall on Southern Border, rest will be forthcoming. Most importantly, got $700 Billion to rebuild our Military, $716 Billion next year...most ever. Had to waste money on Dem giveaways in order to take care of military pay increase and new equipment.

    The EU are next on the list to renegotiate a fairer trade deal with the US.

    Presumably you are a beneficiary of the unfair deal that the EU has with the US (though it doesn't currently have one). What are you particularly looking forward to when Trump negotiates the finer deal?

    I'm just quoting what he said, but I doubt the $151 billion a year trade defecit will exist after Trump is finished, so the EU will need to recoup the money elsewhere, and it looks like Macron has already made a start on that with his fuel tax.

    Presumably a goodly proportion of the $151b deficit will be something that Trump will seek to diminish when the US negotiates a new trade deal with the UK as and when the UK is able to enter into those negotiations. Could be never under the May deal of course.

    What that has to do with Macron (not the EU) seeking to deal with France's traditional undertaxing of a diesel fuel that it considers to be a contributor to climate change is anybody's guess!

    Brussels call the shots, and now Macron is paying the price. Either that or he is very stupid

    The Mueller team have recommended no jail time for General Flynn

    So when Mueller filed the recommendation to the court that Flynn had "provided first hand information about the content and context of interactions between the transition team and Russian Government officials" and "substantial assistance in a criminal investigation" in a heavily redacted document because those investigations are on going presumably there is nothing to see aboard the Trump Collusion Delusion Express?

    When viewed as part of the "insurance policy", it looks like the plan failed, so now we have to wait for the 302's to see if they were altered after the fact.

    Doesnt look like to me that Mueller’s plans have failed
    Is this what you’re referring to?
    From the outside it looks a very professional investigation led by a man with previous for convicting serious organised criminals.

    It all depends if he was working with Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe or against them. It was Obama people and journalists who initially targeted Flynn under the Logan Act, via unmasking and leaking. Only two people have ever been indicted on charges of violating the Act, one in 1802 and the other in 1852. Neither was convicted of violating the Act. The only reason they did it was to get at Trump, by pushing the Trump Russia Collusion conspiracy. Don't worry, the truth is all going to come out, and then we can evaluate what Mueller was really up to.

    So Flynn was prosecuted under the Logan Act then. News to me.

    I said targeted under the Logan Act, he was unmasked and it was leaked to journalists.
