I am an independent and Trump supporter. I generally like his shows of strength, but I didn’t like the confrontational nature of this exchange. It lacked diplomacy and respect. Trump yelling things like “you’re gambling with World War 3” was inappropriate and aggressive, especially considering he was a guest. This caused an unprecedented tension between wrokd leaders on live TV and in my opinion has the potential to spiral out of control.
To quote Dean Acheson from Thirteen Days, “Hopefully cooler heads will prevail before we reach the next step.”

- pcj-github 2y agoI just honestly cannot fathom how you voted for this person and somehow surprised by this. Were you just not paying attention since 2016?
- JumpinJack_Cash 2y ago> > I generally like his shows of strength The US has the nuclear trident, the Ohio ICBMs nuclear submarines, the Gerald Ford Class Carriers, the thousands of Minutemen delivering warheads in 20 minutes or less, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Air Force in the World... All of that, not to mention the soft power precisely in order to avoid having to pull this sort of BS in the oval office The US strenght is the system , not the dude in the expensive house on Penn Avenue with the nice plane. He very rarely adds something but can absolutely throw lots of the systemic effort down the sink
- NickC25 2y agoDonald Trump doesn't show stregnth, if anything, he's cosplaying as an effeminate she-male with the lifts, the makeup, and the wig. Donald Trump is not a strong man. He is a weak baby with no self-control and very little knowledge about anything useful. He also sucks at golf.
