and i think most democrats would be saying if the president went out there and said in a radical way the things that you criticize that that was putting people s lives at risk. you saw donald trump be presidential. you can t have it both ways. there s so many people during the campaign that were terrified that donald trump would not be presidential. that he would be the guy he was on the campaign trail if he became the president and that would start world war ii. what you saw is someone who is learning quickly when you go around the world and speaking with world leaders, your words have meaning to them. they can have a negative or positive effect. they can be used against you. you saw a president that was measured. you can t say it s cowardly when it s presidential. it shows how blatantly he was lying.
critics saying this will have a chilling effect ob intel sharing. why do you think he s being quiet? the president of the united states remains very powerful man. they are not going to criticize him. they are going to praise him. the mistake was made. president trump kind of awkwardly conformed that it was israel that was the country that had been talked about in that situation by saying i didn t mention the name it israel. he was since cob firming that s what he was talking about. people misunderstand the relationship with the united states if they think particularly, publicly, any of these governments are going to criticize trump, it s quite the opposite. they are going to flatter him. which is people forget when obama came into office, many of these same regimes were falling over themselves to talk about how it was a new start with obama when e he went to turkey,
