    Looks like Angela Merkel had to explain some pretty basic foreign policy issues to Drumpf over the weekend:
    Angela Merkel’s Censure Of Donald Trump’s Executive Order Puts Theresa May To Shame
    "The two heads of state talked on the phone over the weekend, and she apparently had to explain to him some pretty basic foreign policy facts.
    “The Geneva refugee convention requires the international community to take in war refugees on humanitarian grounds,” a spokesperson for Merkel said. “All signatory states are obligated to do. The German government explained this policy in their call.”"

    Are you trying to say the skills needed to act like a toolbag on a tv show don't carry over to international relations?

    I know it sounds crazy, but I have a feeling that The Apprentice didn't adequately prepare him for his current gig.

    Later he shifted the focus away from the weekend’s immigration turmoil, signing an executive action aimed at cutting regulations for small businesses. White House officials called the directive a “one in, two out” plan, requiring government agencies requesting a new regulation to identify two others they will cut.
    Trump signed the order in the Oval Office surrounded by small business leaders, saying it would “massively” cut regulations and calling it the “biggest such act that our country has ever seen.”

    Democratic New York Sen. Schumer choked up over the weekend while talking about the repercussions from the ban, but that brought scorn from Trump.
    “I noticed Chuck Schumer yesterday with fake tears — I’m going to ask him who was his acting coach, because I know him very well. I don’t see him as a crier,” Trump said at the White House on Monday.

    no, I'm currently WAY too obsessed with america and my blind hatred of such.

    I always find it so interesting that americans that hate when non-americans criticize, or even just discuss, american foreign policy issues, which, like it or not, effect the globe, seem to be the first to defend their government's right to get involved in all the world's business.

    That's the problem with the world - too much thinking.

    It took Nixon an entire term plus a year before he sacked his AG in the Saturday Night Massacre. It takes Trump a week.. what an overachiever.
