Covid - 19

We are still the top player in the G20, G8, and other industrialized forums. We pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord .. That was a fraud, and an excuse to send billions of US dollars to another "organization" for minimal benefit to the U.S. yet we paid the lions share. BTW, our greenhouse gas emissions under Trump have surpassed the goals set forth in the Paris Climate Accord.

We also still have major roles in the main UN councils, such as Security Council etc. None of these organizations, UN, NATO, etc. would exist without the financial support of the U.S. We pay by far, the most of any other country when it comes to financing groups like these.

What do you mean “top player”?

Experience is a good thing...How many people on this board have a Dr. that is 79?

As the top economy in the world, we have major influence as to what happens and policy at G20 and G8. I also stand by my statement regarding Paris Accord.

I was taking about Paris Accord and Iran Agreement.

even worse screwings you wanted to enjoy. NATO and WHO is who you have been defending recently

There hasn’t been a G8 since Russia was kicked out in 2014 after invading Ukraine. Trump has tried unsuccessfully to have Russia added back.

Guisslapp's picture s next to "irrationally arrogant" in the dictionary!

The point being, we have the strongest economy in the world, and we carry a lot of weight on world matters.

And that is the kindest part of the definition.

Fortunately, Trump has weakened our influence enough in the G7 that he hasn’t gotten his way with Russia.

In a sign of pettiness he rescinded his signature to the communique in 2018 because of a personal spat with Trudeau.

Just another example of how awkward and ineffective Trump’s “leadership” has been to the detriment of American soft power.

Things are looking up! We are about to emerge from this darkness back into the bright, glorious sunshine! How do I know that? Easy...Walmart has full shelves of toilet paper again! And, even better, after word got around and there was a rush...including by my wife and daughter who loaded up, giving us an 18-month supply of it now...Walmart was able to restock again! Life is good, baby!

I don't share your opinion that Trump has weakened us any. But you think so and show your true anti-American colors by stating it is "fortunate" America is weaker. You are slimy piece of filth.

It is only fortunate right now because what he wants is bad for us. Russia having more influence in world affairs is bad.

If we can excise this tumor out of the White House, we still have the ability to restore American hegemony over time.

Like it was with your boy Obama. He was all about America.

Trump has greatly, and I mean GREATLY, enhanced our hegemony. Hell, he had to dig us out of that hole left by obummer who went around apologizing to the world, and sending $150 billion care packages to our mortal enemies.

No. That was a ransom we owned them from back when Reagan was the POTUS. We never paid for the hostages they so graciously set free. We "Owed" them that money. Can't make this crap up.
