“Trumportunities.”

It is the idea that, whether by accident or design, Trump creates chances to solve long-running international problems that a conventional leader would not.

His bellicose isolationist agenda, for instance, might already be forcing Europe to confront its geopolitical weakness;

China, its need for a lasting economic settlement with the U.S.;

Countries throughout the Middle East, the limits of their power.

The president’s erratic behavior might be doing something else as well, something even more fundamental. Through a combination of instinct, temperament, and capriciousness, Trump may be reminding the world of the reality of international relations:

Raw military and economic power still matter more than anything else—so long as those who hold them are prepared to use them.

A term has been coined to describe this notion:

Ryan Evans of War on the Rocks calls them “Trumportunities.”

Carville seems ecstatic with this statement. I believe the DNC/Deep State are concerned about losing our reserve currency status

Sure wish the Republican party would do an ad that would depict the Demonrats as wanting American workers to be as totally dependent on them for food and shelter as slaves on a Southern plantation, and then remind our idiot-ucated youth that the Democrats were once the party which fought FOR, not against, the “right” to own slaves!

Well, that, and...

My old tagline:

Convicted spies are shot, traitors are hanged, saboteurs are subject to summary execution...

Stumbled must be the word dujour.

Just yesterday I read how he stumbles into foreign policy wins, trade deals, lowest ever unemployment, and a booming economy.

I guess he’s just not very steady on his feet.

Here’s to four more years of stumbling!

Maybe a journalist should press one of these hyperbolic progressives to answer this question with specifics

It is very simple you leftist deep state whistle swappers, Trump appears so great, because you are so bad. It is actually easy to be like Trump. You just be as honest as you possibly can when dealing with your fellow citizens. You deep state fluffers on the other hand, dont even remember what truth is.

They may. Actually I think the DNC/Deep state hope we (USA) actually loose it to probably China.

What President Trump is doing on the World stage is actually strengthens it.

"The democrats and republicans fear him because he will reveal all their corruption."

The criminal's fear to be held accountable for their own criminal behavior.
