Rift Between Trump and Europe Is Now Open and Angry
European leaders have long been alarmed that President Trump’s words and Twitter messages could undo a trans-Atlantic alliance that had grown stronger over seven decades.
They had clung to the hope that those ties would bear up under the strain.
the rift between Europe and the Trump administration became open, angry and concrete, diplomats and analysts say.
“No one any longer believes that Trump cares about the views or interests of the allies.
It’s broken.”
The most immediate danger, ... is that the trans-Atlantic fissures now risk being exploited by Russia and China.
Even the normally gloomy
Russian foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, happily noted the strains,
remarking that the Euro-Atlantic relationship had become increasingly “tense.”
“We see new cracks forming, and old cracks deepening,” Mr. Lavrov said.

More gibberish from huffy huffington
”Why Do British People NOT Like Trump?”
A few things spring to mind…
Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.
For instance, he has
no class,
no charm,
no coolness,
no credibility,
no compassion,
no wit,
no warmth,
no wisdom,
no subtlety,
no sensitivity,
no self-awareness,
no humility,
no honour and
no grace
– all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh.
And while Trump may be laughable,
he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever.
And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility –
for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it’s a fact.
He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is –
his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll.
And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.
Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.
And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs:
Robin Hood, Whittington, Oliver Twist.
Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.
He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.
He’s more a fat white slug.
A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.
That is, except
when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all.
He punches downwards –
which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and
every blow he aims is below the belt.
He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless –
and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think
‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’
is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too;
his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss.
He turns being artless into an art form;
He is a Picasso of pettiness;
a Shakespeare of .
His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too.
But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.
He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.
In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:
‘My God… what… have… I… created?

National security reporter stunned at how badly Mike Pence bombed in Europe
A national security reporter was shocked at how an audience in Europe responded to Vice President Mike Pence over the weekend.
In a speech at a security conference in Munich on Saturday, Pence appeared to pause and wait for applause after mentioning President Donald Trump. But he was met with silence.
NBC News national security reporter Courtney Kube, who was in Munich, said
she had never seen anything like it.
“You could actually hear a pin drop in the room,” she told MSNBC’s Katy Tur.
“One of the big takeaways from his speech was
he really doubled down on his criticism of European leaders.
He called on them once again to withdraw from the Iranian nuclear deal…
he talked about the importance of NATO, the importance of allies.”
“But what was really fascinating was
he was bookmarked ??? WTF
between German chancellor Angela Merkel and former vice president Joe Biden,
both of whom talked about
the importance of multilateralism and
the importance of strong alliances.
They received very strong reaction from crowd,
both of them getting standing ovations,”

in any case, Pence was a bad read and was distasteful.
Joey is so damn sensitive.
i'm so sensitive? not really. just sick of lying spineless "men" like yourself. god damn i am so glad i am not you. i'd rather live under a bridge with no arms or legs than be you ever. ing spineless wannabe male.
joey, you are a riot, man!
i dont think he's anything special, but he's ok. i dont think they should be calling it the Daily Show though, it doesn't really feel anything like Stewart's show.
It was Kilborn's before that; technically it's still Winstead's.
