Thursday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said President Donald Trump was so aliening our allies, as evidenced by his back-and-forth with Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, they might not help America if we are attacked.

Host Brianna Keilar asked, “I want to ask you about the G7. The president is heading to France after several days of stirring up controversy on the international stage before he even arrives. What impact will that have on the president’s ability to work with global leaders during what are really high-stakes meetings?”

Swalwell said, “We need friends in the world. Today, if there was to be an attack on America or one of the America’s interesting, I’m not sure we would have the same friends across the world lining up to go to conflict or to help defend the United States. ...

Accusing Trump of sexism didn't work;

Accusing Trump of Russia Collusion didn't work;

Accusing Trump of racism didn't work;

Now it is back to Trump mentally unstable excuse.

BRING. IT.

And don't forget

1) Matthews: "He (Trump) wants to go to war over Greenland …."

2) CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin: Trump Defenders’ Efforts ‘Increasingly Futile’

Now Toobin: "Trump never laughs on camera" is a thing. Really. From CNN.

Our ‘allies’ wouldn’t stand beside us if it involves any danger, won’t even support us in economic sanctions on Iran.

Which is it? Russia collusion or Russian and ally snubbing?

Eff these people. THey called OBama with IRan and CUba “rapprochement” and not collusion.

OBama did not make friends, he made that moot since he was selling out to so called “friends”. THese were no friends, they were leeches who were killing us.

To Rep Swallwell (d Cal.)
The rest of the country may not help California if they are attacked.

I mean, they've been SO helpful in the last 20 years or so...right?

Swallowell is a moron.

He has absolutely no idea of what he speaks.

Our "allies" will help us in direct proportion to the amount of US dollars that fall their way.

And even then, they attempt to squirm and avoid any direct participation in anything.

America first...period.

Well, Swallwell, if America is attacked, you won’t have any nukes left to defend her with, because you already used them on gun owners.

The ones that tried to overthrow our president?

They can go to Hell.

It’s kind of a race right now to see who can destroy America first. The Rats and the homeless or the DOJ and the FBI?

Adding another

3) Rep. John Garamendi: If Trump Wasn't President, He Would Be In A Mental Institution

If I have a suspicious mind, I'd say DNC-Media-Entertainment-Academia Industrial Complex is almost having a coordinated attack on the same talking points. Almost. Still waiting for some Hollywood or 'higher ed institute' blokes/boards to chime in to complete the circus.

is there a 25th amendment for repealing the freedom of the press due to a loss of confidence in their ability to grasp reality?

c’mon guys, when do the grownups say enough is enough.

There are leaders, and there are followers. This guy is a follower attacking a president who is a leader.

He doesn’t grasp that when it comes to countries, there are not friendships. There are alliances. You know, like when we allied ourselves with the USSR against Germany.

The problem is that after Clinton, Bush II and Obama, an awful lot of idiots have gotten awfully high on the food chain and they are desperately hanging on to the status quo.

Europe is even worse.

Denmark could send, what? Two ships, a handful of planes to help us if needed.
