Trump in Europe — American and unbowed
Arutz Sheva ^ | July 15, 2018 | Jack Engelhard

Later they kissed and made up. But before that, at that NATO summit in Brussels, President Trump let them know who’s boss.

No more rolling over…and while he was respectful to the Queen, and contrary to the habits of his predecessor, he did not bow.

He focused on Angela Merkel, since she represents them all. He schooled her for double-dealing – that pipeline to Russia that puts Germany at the mercy of Putin who can turn off the energy spigot any time he wants, and then who ya gonna call? The United States, of course, which will have to come to the rescue, as usual.

Which is why the 28 heads of the EU circle around Trump like small trembling fish around a Whale. Twice before America had to put Humpty Dumpty together again.

So Merkel makes that deal with Russia and then expects the United States to continue paying most of the tab for NATO, which exists as a deterrent against Russia.

To which Trump says – Are you nuts?

An Alpha male in a sea of neutered metrosexual Euro-weenies. The contrast couldn’t have been more stark.

Onama didnt bow to the Queen, just a handshake and head nod
There is video
He bowed to leaders of Japan China and Saudi - our debt buyers

Senator Susan Collins curtseyed to Qadaffi
There is video if it hasnt been scrubbed

Neither Bush bowed to the Queen
They did however grope a German Chancellor, hold hands with a Saudi, serve bull testicles to Putin and vomit on a Japanese PM

Reagan didnt bow to the Queen, head nod and handshake
There is video

We do not bow (or curtsey, for the XX set) to the British monarch, and we do not stand for God Save the Queen.

I’ve lived in the UK, and although I’ve never met her majesty, I’ve been in church or at other occasions for GSTQ, and we real Americans just do not stand.

Not for us, you understand. It’s for the men at Saratoga, Valley Forge, and Yorktown.

Trump - a true leader of the world, and a figure that shall ring in history for centuries to come.

For now, and among his contemporaries, just about everybody else is second-best. And we still do not have his full measure.

So, I guess the green initiative in Germany didn’t work. So much money down the rat hole and now they have to pay Russia for gas to keep people from freezing in the their homes.

Predictable.

Lived in Germany for a long time and I predict(ed) people would freeze to death over the utter stupidity of willingly shutting down their energy sources. Still may come true...but Putin will just use cutting off the gas as a tool to control the socialist fools in Germany.
