One would thought that diplomacy skills are needed taking the Office.
Trump has zero diplomacy skills.
Trump threatens 'obliteration,' Iran calls White House 'mentally retarded'

But maybe we worry to much.
Perhaps Trump will soon exchange love letters with Iran as he did with Kim il-Jung:)

btw. Trump. Learn the peoples name before referring to them in a negotiation!

Clyde, I'm trying to understand your post. Why did you put the period of what was an intelligible sentence? Instead you have 2 disconnected phrases which don't make sense. Is there a reason for that?

Dear betreger,

I do understand your continuous confirmation that you can't defend your beliefs.

Keep it up :-D

Sincerely, Clyde "Liberal"

Clyde, that's a great answer to a direct question which had nothing to do with my beliefs.

Soooo.........the Iranian forces attach mines to two tankers, in international waters, blow them up, and when caught on drone video trying to remove a dud, shoot down the drone.........but Trump is trying to start a war?

Clyde that's another great response.

Sorry. No one knows for sure that it was the Iranian forces that attached the mines.
Some even blame Israeli forces for doing it.
And as for the drone downing there is no evidences what so ever so far if it happened over international or Iranian airspace.
The US has one version, Iran has an other version.
For some reason I believe Saudi Arabia has a lot fingers in these incidents...

Another one bites the dust.

President Donald Trump's protocol chief, Sean Lawler, has been suspended indefinitely just ahead of the G-20 meeting in Japan pending the outcome of a State Department investigation into his conduct, according to multiple State Department officials with direct knowledge of the matter.
Two State officials told CNN that Lawler was called into the office of the deputy secretary on Monday afternoon and told he needed to leave due to the status of the investigation.
"A large chunk of the protocol office was aware of this behavior for a long time. They're surprised, to be honest, that this hadn't been dealt with sooner," according to one of the State Department officials

Oh dear...
Yet another one from the White House staff...
Why don't Trump get rid of all of his staff and aids?
He doesn't need them and he can use Twitter to give orders to all without interference.
Simple as that.
Sigh...

Because he needs all the sycophants to tell him how wonderful he is, all day, every day.

To put it simple. He's a sociopath. There are about 300 millions living in the US, everyone of them but a few are not sociopaths, and Trump got elected!
As for US voters. Eh, only half of the eligible of them actually voted.
Well, You can't always get what you want.

Trump's campaign song in 2016. A song stolen from Rolling Stones.

That Democrat Candidate's (or any candidate) are attempting to replace your president are not a sign of some kind of mental disorder.
More like a democracy behaviour.
As for your question that both of sides should admit to their opinions.
Could you please elaborate on that cause I don't understand what you mean.

btw.
Donald Trump has embarked on a full-scale flame war with US national football star Megan Rapinoe.
- She should win before she starts talking, writes the president on Twitter.

To me it looks like the US has a very bad school education when it comes to understanding news reporting.
How to distinguish fake news from real news. Distingue disinformation from real information.
Here we are taught about this already in high school.
Always being criticizing news and asking to yourself. Why this news. Who report this news. Why now. And so forth.

Wait a minute.
You say "Reflects their personal, political and social bias."
Most journalists doesn't work that way. They also try to get the other views and opinions. At very least here where I live. and also what I believe news from BBC, CNN, FOX and the New York Times.
Yes. even FOX news:)
Now every news outlet has of course an editorial. There you will find opinions of course that are very biased and personal. BBC and SVT doesn't have any though.
If you want to read some very bad "news" as an example. Check this out:)

"r/The_Donald" restricted because of violence. Yes, the right is the violent ones.
How does that go? "a danger to themselves or others"

The line separating Opinion and Professional Journalism has been erased.

I still think that professional journalism exist. But as you say Internet and 24/7 news coverage from non professional journalists are increasing very much.
So today it's even more important to be critical about news reporting then it was when I was a high school kid...

Hmmmm.......interesting.........some might even say slightly 'unhinged'......

E Jean Carroll’s past views on men-women relationship

Writer E Jean Carroll, who alleged that President Trump sexually assaulted her decades ago, during her appearance on Charlie Rose's show in 1995, argued that women's lives "revolve around men," and that the past can be changed, reported The Conservative Tree House.

This week, Carroll visibly stunned CNN's Anderson Copper while discussing the alleged incident that involved President Trump. She said that she doesn't feel like a victim, insisting that what took place wasn't "sexual" and that most people find rape "sexy," prompting the CNN host to quickly cut to commercials.

Past views: While discussing an Esquire article, “Do Women Love Men?” with Rose, as well as the changing on gender roles, Carroll insisted that women buy expensive clothes to impress men because they love them. "I think, the thing is, the principal has changed over the years, just suddenly in the last 30 years, now we have the leisure and the time, and the money, to love more than one men," she said.

"We have this men-centered gene, our whole lives revolve around men....They like men more [than women], we live to please...Think about the all weird, screwing, twisted things to prove that we love like."

"Like what?" asks Rose. "Bikini wax," she responds. Carroll later confirmed that women want to be "chased" and "pursued."

When asked what she learned from a certain experience about men, Carroll noted: "Well, first of all, you can go back and change the past....You can find out what actually happened. The memory of your past lives in a certain way in your mind. Go back and find out the truth- it's frightening.

Referencing the New York Times, which has been delivered to my door for more than 40 years.
Their Professional Journalism has also degenerated to a dangerous degree.

That's unfortunately true in many of their publications.
I saw a documentary here in Sweden about NYT were the editor-in-chief said "It's all about rating".
He didn't gave any further examples as I can recall but that attitude says a lot of how news can deteriorate.

I hope that Trump is ready for the G20 Summit as he's going to be in for some heat.

Maybe even a "Trump Tax" on the U.S. will be discussed.

Clyde, you are correct Tulsi did well, but it does not matter.
Trump has proven credentials don't matter, facts don't matter, only feelings matter to the general populace.
