The Donald Trump Apology Thread

I expect that this will be a very short thread, but the first entry is now in the news.

Washington (CNN)The White House has apologized to the British government after alleging that a UK intelligence agency spied on President Donald Trump at the behest of former President Barack Obama.
National security adviser H.R. McMaster spoke with his British counterpart on Thursday about press secretary Sean Spicer's comment from the White House podium about a Fox News report that said British intelligence helped wiretap Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign, a White House official said Friday.

Thanks Fox News, for damaging our relations to the UK.

'They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored.'

indeed

It takes real talent to grossly insult two of our staunchest allies (UK and Germany) within a twenty-four-hour period.

Obama and H. Clinton spent eight years insulting our allies and kissing the asses of dictators. President Trump will never be as good at doing harm to our allies and providing aide and comfort to the world's enemies as Obama and Clinton and Kerry. I don't remember anyone in the media or the left ever protesting against Obama and Clinton or Kerry when they bent over backwards for the two bit dictators and undermined our countries safety or asked that they be made to tell the truth when caught in a lie.

Let's face it if you want one to be honest and be responsible then you have to demand that all be responsible. Obama made a career of lying to the people and Congress (including the people in his own party) and undermining the Constitution. So by rights we should hold him and Clinton responsible for their deeds and lies in office just as we should hold President Trump responsible for any misdeeds or lies while he is in office.

It's like the corrupt mayor's of some of our cities saying they will not obey laws they feel are politically harmful to them. Then why can't the people of those cities say "I don't believe in parking tickets so I won't pay any." or "If it is OK to steal and not be held responsible for it then I should be allowed to rob the mayor's house and have a police escort as a get a way car." Sounds silly, but that is what the left is saying when they say their leaders are not responsible to the law.

Equal rights for all.

Yeah, that's a bunch of zany partisanship crap.

Perhaps you'll be gracious enough to allow your allies to determine which of your presidents has insulted us or makes us fearful for the future. For eight years and without deviation we Brits felt 'we've a true statesman across the Atlantic; such a shame so many of his own people can't see that'

Now, oh we're fearful. Not feeling insulted I grant you; the comments and allegations of a political featherweight don't cut your true friends.

Not like your blind following of a corrupt and incompetent Masters like H. Clinton and Obama. They never lied or cheated or gave aide to dictators or tried to turn their own people against each other.

I'm glad you are unable to see both sides to a subject or to show facts or think for yourself. After all who would con men have to sell the Golden Gate Bridge to?

Why who knows you might even have real facts, not lies like the media and the reality show types in Washington and Hollywood that you worship. I have an open mind and if you can prove that Hillary Clinton and her leftist followers really are honest and care about the people of this country and the safety of the world then I am willing to listen.

But the only things you have printed are "crap". By the way I don't vote for "party ticket". I vote for candidates. What the individual stands for so I have voted Democratic, Republican and Independent. Not like some " zany partisanship" types on here.

What does that look like? There are several to choose from. Let's start with Yemen.
