If you had asked me to believe a US President could give such a response prior to 2016 I’d have not believed it.
Given Trump has been elected twice we must all accept that Trump is not an electoral aberration; Trump reflects the will of the American people. Trump is America.

Trump:
Well, I think he'd like to see a weak Europe.
To be honest with you, he's getting that. That has nothing to do with me.
I have no vision for Europe. All I want to see is a strong Europe.

The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

A delightful and delicious read in equal measure!

This is an example of the level of ignorance of Trump supporters.
The poster can’t connect the name Nobel with the prize, that there are defined criterion to met to be awarded a prize. Just a giant conspiracy against hero Trump.

The Norwegians think they have the final say on who's a peace broker and who isn't based on a prize they concocted over a century ago to try and give themselves some kind of gravitas?
