In Trump, some fear the end of the world order
Washington Post, Jun 8, 2018, Karen DeYoung

“What worries me most . . . is the fact that the rules-based international order is being challenged,” European Council President Donald Tusk said as the G-7 summit got underway. What is surprising, Tusk said, is that the challenge is driven not by the “usual suspects, but by its main architect and guarantor, the U.S.”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron held a news conference in Quebec on Thursday to hail their own close relations and said they would continue, politely, to try to convince Trump that his actions are “unacceptable” and counterproductive, even for American workers.

Trump responded with a series of tweets Friday morning, saying he was headed to Quebec to “straighten out” U.S. allies. “If it doesn’t happen,” he declared, “we come out even better.”

In any case, Trump told reporters as he left the White House for Canada, eventually “we’ll all be in love again.”

...rules-based international order...

The devil is in the details. The details are those of a post-WWII era that has passed.

That's not an awkward hug at all.

...and I feel fine.

Six dwarves, and one mental midget.  How cute.

Noticing that math isn't your best subject either.    ^-^

How ever many foreign dwarves you stuff in the picture, there is always that idiotic American mental midget.

LOL.  But in all fairness (?) @DCPatriot  he was probably confused ... thinking he was still on this thread:  http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,319602.0.html

Such bitterness is not good for the soul.   

[INVAR]

Headline and supposition is as useless and worrisome as if it had read: "In Trump, some fear the end of trillions in deficit spending and the expansion of the Federal Beast"

Describing the facts is not bitterness. I know you cannot see something as simple as the facts through the Trump-worship blinders you wear, but some of us can.

Great. Yet another 'New World Order' ~meh!~

Is that a roll of dimes in your pocket?

I love ya @Oceander ... but you do not speak "facts".  Your habit of late is to spew the first thing that comes to your mind --- and this has been unadulterated, stupefying, uncensored venom.  And to this I say:  whatever floats your boat.

Dracula has similar sentiments regarding priests, a bible, holy water and crucifixes too.

Take GHWBush's "new world order" and toss it where it belongs...

... on the ash heap of history.

I have heard a rumor that the law allows one to have three strikes until one is out.
