Thats the point of having a nation - fighting for your interests. And ultimately the bigger slice of the global pie you have the better off you are. Trump is just trying to take some of those slices from other nations to enrich his own nation.

And BTW I'm not sure why you're so angry at me personally.

Some nations had the enlightment of working together, just as a nation works together, to make the world a better place as a whole. Because it would be better for everyone, if everyone worked to make it a better place for all, instead of trying to take away as much as possible from each other. America does not seem to one of them.

It's laughable how many americans come with a law-of-the-strongest rhetoric, and then pretend to be the last bastion of Christianity.

Its good for the world when America runs it. Yes, we should take most of the pie but that's because only America can maintain a peacful, prosperous oder. Our prosperity trikles down everwhere. So we are making the world a better place with our Chrisian values, economy ad military, just in a different way than youre proposing. 

Protectionnism hurts world economy (according to pretty much all economists - what's up to dispute is effect on individual countries) and prevents wealth from spreading. As a whole, worse for the world.

Being a dick also prevents the good values the US emancipates from spreading. Iran once had a progressive, elected government, which promptly got overthrown by the CIA for being too socialist, and reinstalled an unelected dictator. This allowed religious fundementalists to take over the country with strong anti-american propaganda (and the history to back it up.) Castro wouldn't have survived half as long if americans actually tried to help Cuba instead of the embargo. You know what does work? Massive amounts of foreign aid, invested in education. In the matter of a decade, Japan went from perceiving the US as the devil to becoming one of its strongest allies.

Tension is surely a little high, but the wall is sorely needed. Trump is not a PC person which is why we love him, however that is not without its downfalls. You don't just say, "Mexico will pay for it". People will get offended. They will pay for it, one way or another, we hold the better hand here, but there is a way to do it politically correctly. Trump just ran out of fucks to give and he said as much in that ABC interview. He got no time for PC crap.

NAFTA also needs to go or modernized. Trump is a protectionist but he's not a dummy. He knows we need trade partners and he already said as much. We'll have bilateral agreements with all the TPP nations. I believe we should scrap NAFTA and do the same thing. That works better for us as opposed to having one conglomerate agreement.

There is difference from not being PC and being dick. Trump is mostly the latter. 

Agree to disagree.

The American Empire will be replaced one day. It is a matter of When. Not If.
No country has been able to remain on top indefinitely. But sure. Keep burning all the bridges with your allies.

I for one have lost allot of respect for the USA, your country is more like a comedy show than anything else.

Iran just threatened to ban US citizens from entering Iran. This guy is bad news.

Most mentally unstable people believe what they say. It doesn't make them less mentally unstable.
