Donald Trump's first major foreign policy address alarmed American allies, who view the Republican front runner's repeated invocation of an "America first" agenda as a threat to retreat from the world.

While most governments were careful not to comment publicly on a speech by a U.S. presidential candidate, Germany's foreign minister veered from that protocol to express concern at Trump's wording.

"I can only hope that the election campaign in the USA does not lack the perception of reality," Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.

"The world's security architecture has changed and it is no longer based on two pillars alone. It cannot be conducted unilaterally," he said of foreign policy in a post-Cold War world. "No American president can get round this change in the international security architecture.... 'America first' is actually no answer to that."

“Trump was never a conservative anyway ...and was registered democract just a few years ago.”

Ronald Reagan was a Democrat for a while too and he worked out as a president just fine.

The point is what are Trump’s current ideas and plans.

They sound just fine — “Make America Great Again.”

Expecting that other countries contribute their fair share to a partnership is only reasonable.

Of course, they are “alarmed”. That always happens when you take away freebies from those who have been eating at the free trough.

I agree. You know... at the end of the day it's really about one thing.

Here's a little link...

That chart tells the reality. I learned a long time ago to accept the things that I couldn't change. Who here hasn't invested in that company? I mean I have.... is nobody else invested there? I mean owns the equity? And if not, why not?
