For once - once! - a politician makes a speech I actually enjoyed!

It was clearly aimed at the home market; he was supposed to be there to

Nice work.

Quite. Hopefully the Trump voters on this forum won't object to being
called "ignorant, thuggish and self-serving."

Fortunately there are still many Americans who are not like that.

Correct. And it looks like they'll have to fight their own battles in
future. I suspect Trump is about to invite Russia into a new security
compact with the US. If that happens, I think I can guess who their
new target will be, because both Trump and Putin *detest* the
Globalists. Waiter! More popcorn!
