What about his statement today that NATO is not obsolete? Or the statement that a China does not fix currency? These are 180 degrees from what he said a short time ago. Trust me. In the past week, he has lost many of his most hardened supporters. You know, the ones who risked getting beaten by fascists to go cheer him on at his rallys. He is letting them down

Ha ha ha!
That was awesome!
I suspect China REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wanted him to stop saying that... and I suspect they won't be fucking with the currency again... probably.
I bet this was part of the negotiations which led to AWESOME coal and beef export trade starting up again and the unified efforts between China, Japan and us to deal with North Korea.
Ha ha ha ha!
You're gonna have a bad time if you get pissy about President Trump's negotiation tactics because he's known for making ridiculous demands and then "negotiating" to reach a "compromise" which is precisely what he originally wanted.
President Trump's motivation was to get them to pay their bills so we don't need to cover their slack, and now the cash is streaming in!
Pretty cool, hey?
President Trump has already mentioned that the cash is streaming in, but I'm not sure how much that is... Germany apparently owes us 490 billion, but I don't know if that is accurate... but I wouldn't be surprised if we are now recovering billions!
You are referring to me and no, the only thing that President Trump has done is win with trade and win with the NATO... which has made you sad for some reason.
I'm happy to win, win, win... even if it does make you pissy.
