Asked during the CBS interview whom he considered to be his biggest foe globally, Mr. Trump named the European Union, citing “what they do to us on trade.” He added: “Now you wouldn’t think of the European Union, but they’re a foe. Russia is a foe in certain respects. China is a foe economically, certainly a foe.”

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!

Like your ten year old with cookie crumbs all over his face, melted chocolate chips on his finger tips, yet insisting over and over again he didn't take the last cookie.

You missed him insisting his older brother did it.

Watching the Trump/Putin press conference now. This is an embarrassment to our country.

Have not seen it yet - will watch and review tonight. From what I am hearing, not good and unacceptable.

Oh I know, my Facebook newsfeed has already started to explode with my usual cast of characters.

I should have put their names in an envelope and done my impression of the Great Carnac

I've heard a lot more than that. This is an issue that transcends political parties. I've never heard of a US President trashing the USA standing side by side with an adversary on foreign soil like this ever happening...

Curious how anyone can explain this behavior other than being on a very short leash.

Jim, still winning?

Obama never went anywhere close to this...to even suggest is beyond the pale, or just ignorant.

I seriously think that Putin has something on trump and is blackmailing him. It’s the only scenario that makes sense.

Trump and the Fable of the snake. A boy saw a rattle snake who convinced him he was different not like other snakes if the boy carried him to the valley .. He did as the snake asked .. once there the snake coiled and bit him. he was shocked and ask the snake why he had bitten him??

The snake said You knew what I was when you picked me up !! and slithered away

we all knew what Trump was on election day...

cant act surprised or outraged we are way past that
