I am not altogether displeased with the way President Trump handled himself during this weekend's Economic Summit in Quebec, Canada. And on top of all that, I am impressed with the ongoing Twitter dialogue (if that is what one would call it) with the Canadian Prime Minister, Trudeau.
Due to the way in which the opposition here in the United States treats the President, it's not too much of a surprise that the rest of the world thinks they can do the same. The members of the G7 are also politicians playing to their home crowd and they shouldn't expect the US to be any different in protecting the best interests of our country.
President Trump being the street fighter (from, New York) that he is certainly never misses the opportunity to respond in kind.
As to tariffs .... it would seem each country has their own set of tariffs to protect their industries. Screaming out loud in economic pain over our need to do the same is disingenuous at best.
I am intrigued by the possibility of a closer economic alliance with Russia. The European Union (EU) is pretty uptight about the possibility ... I think it is probably OK for the EU to be a little edgy since they seem to think their interests should be served above all others ... including ours.
We are seeing a President who is willing to weather the storm of criticism and derision by the opposition in order to achieve something different ... especially when one considers the possibility that what we are doing now is taking us down the wrong path.
Our President, whether one agrees with him or not is not an average leader ... he is actually leading & NOT checking his weather rock outside for rain FIRST before he does what he was elected to do.
