Smith: "We're doing this on our own as we increasingly push away all our allies, gratuitously insulting them. In the middle of this war where we're asking NATO to come join us, the president took time to insult Macron and his wife. How is that helping us, to try to belittle everybody in the world?"

The strength of democracy has always come from citizens working together across differences, not leaders dividing us. When we focus on what unites rather than what divides, we can tackle the big challenges that affect us all. That's the spirit we need more of.

You have a president who is a weak, insecure, pathetic fool, who is trying to portray what he thinks will show him as strong. The world sees. He has done the U.S. damage beyond measure.

Alienating allies, depleting stores of critical weapons, crashing the economy, damaging NATO, pitting American against American. If Putin took over our government (and he may well have done), there is little else he could or would have done to bring the US down.

The #GOP needs to do their job and remove this bumbling buffoon from office ASAP!! He's already destroyed our place in the world. One must ask if he is purposely trying to take down our country. Is the GOP complicit? What do they call that type of behavior again?? 🤔

Trump is blocking the Strait keeping a forever war to ⬆️ the price of oil making his billionaire oil companies and stock market investors wealthier. This include military weapons manufacturers. These are the only benefactors. The losers are everyone else.

It doesn't matter if he continues to insult them. Why the hell should the allies sort out Trumps cluster-fuck choice war? Why would they put their own service personnel in harms way when Trump continues to escalate?

His goal is to destroy the United States. He may have already done so. Putin has finally done the same to Russia it seems tho. Maybe Europe and the rest of our former Allie’s will chase down the Epstein class and eradicate them?

What could Trump do to keep maintain the few friends we have: 1. He could be civil, not threatening. 3. He could stop his own verbal violence. 4. He could be decent. 5. He could stop lying.

This is what dementia looks like when a narcissistic sociopath loses his ability to self sensor or filter. They lash out and show profanity and insults at any perceived threat or disrespectful interaction real or imagined

I like this guy’s demeanor and presentation. He’s not a grandstander, like so many are. He’s not making jokes or insulting anyone. He’s not faking populism. He’s calm, speaks in an organized way, makes his points so everyone can understand him but doesn’t play to the bottom feeders

The current administration is a clown show. The world knows it. But these assholes have ruined future relationships. No one will be eager to collaborate with the USA because they don’t know what kind of lunatic will be the next president. Once bitten twice shy.

It becomes more obvious every day that if we want to end this regime, we the people, have to take down the big money that supports this regime. Our Congress isn't working for us. We, the 99%, have immense power in our spending. Quit Amazon and all the others. You have alternatives and POWER!

Belittling helps Orange Idiot feel better about himself. Like giving him a ballroom and a Hitler arch and his name on money and passports and the Kennedy Center and on and on and on... #8647

...the answer is simple. republicans either sit idly by and do nothing or they support whatever trump does, right or wrong. As we slowly turn into DPRK, USSR (former) and China. congress and the scotus act AGAINST our democratic history.

Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash.) The Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee. A senior member of Congress representing Washington’s 9th district since 1997. He focuses on defense policy, military personnel support, and, as discussed on NPR, national security.

It seems to prove who's getting paid by who, no one deserves to be USED! Our allies would very likely come to our aid if the USA were in risk of destruction, could we say the same of our adversaries that are wheeling and dealing with some very dark money foreign and domestic.

Incase anyone is wondering: Representative Adam Smith (D-WA) is the Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC). As the top Democrat on this committee, he plays a key role in setting military policy... He is NOT Patrick Devins!

Since you dills first elected a moronic orange pedophile felon as President, those of us in the rest of the world have been rearranging our geopolitical and economic relationships leaving America on it's own. You are untrustworthy and unreliable and have zero allies. Well done America.

No nation can endure permanent insults or sustained external control. If such dynamics persist, the United States risks increasing isolation.

Sadly, more people need to be educated about our lack of diplomacy and lack of honor in attacking Iran. It was done with no strategy, no plan and at the dictator's whim for no reason.
