Alluding to Italy and Germany just confirms how addled your mind is.

And being a little bit morer careful about trade deals, to make sure they do not benefit everyone else but America is not isolationism.

The hyperbolic, over-the-top rump derangement syndrome is ridiculous? What are you? A 20 year old college girl who just got triggered and is now staying triggered for the duration?


Frank... (I said Frank, I said bloke, I said mate, I said Frank)... You sad old codge... You've been an old fool all your life, that's for sure...

An Australian who thinks an American isolationist is somehow going to be good for Australia... (a little bit more careful, you thinks... About trade deals!!??)

It's not for love of America (or Australia) that Putin and the Chinese can't believe their luck with Trump... They want the US out of Europe and the Western Pacific (respectively)...

Face it... Deep down you know its true... You're another good argument for euthanasia.

Wildly overstated fantasies.  You would have us believe that the Russians and the Chinese were worried about Hill getting is and smacking their bottoms.

There is not going to be isolationism. There is going to be insistence that 'free trade deals' with low wage countries like China do not mean massive trade deficits for the US.

There will be insistence that rich countries like Germany, Korea, Japan pay their share towards their own defence rather than the American tax payer picking up the bill as has been the case for 70 years.  They have money, they can finance their own defences. This doesn't mean the end of the alliance. Its just that the bill is going to be divvied up fairly, for a change.

Do you include Australia in this list of 'bludger nations'?
