Those weren't my words. That was a quote from the article @steross provided by Mike Pompeo when he was Trump’s Secretary of State. That was Trumps policy during his first term, so the propoganda I'm running with came from the current president.
I think you really need to change the sources you are using for information because whatever it is, it's indoctrinating not educating.

Because Americans are self centered rude a-holes. It has nothing to do with past invasions. Notice the Brits, Germans, French are hated all across the world even with what they've done in the past. It's people's personalities that foreign countries hate.
Up until Trump EU and most of Asia Pacific were close allies. Governments like our country, people don't Iike our people.

Maybe they didn't agree with the proposal but also agreed with my point that yes the Dem party has been trying to pass that same thing for years with huge pushback, to include by Trump on the campaign trail.
Or maybe his post was of Trump trying to take credit for a proposal and action that he had previously opposed….which you correctly noted.
You can agree with the proposal while mocking a sycophant acting like Trump is the originator of the idea.

Let me get this right. You would have preferred if we dropped nuclear bombs we didn't have at the time on a country we weren't at war with immediately at the end of WW2, but at the same time oppose other actions taken by our country in early cold war..? What!?!?

True, either way would explain why. Was just trying to point out that there were valid reasons and not his "it's just about who posts it and they are just against me" view.

Former MAGA House Candidate Deletes Viral Tweet Claiming Trump’s Desk Was Bugged, removed from the Oval Office for Security Sweep.
He even Named a Made up a Non Existent Trump Administration Spokesperson for the story too.
It went MAGA viral and now MAGA morons are 1000% convinced this was all real and it is nothing more than a giant pile of crap.
A viral claim that the Resolute Desk was removed from the White House after being discovered to contain listening devices spread rapidly across Twitter, despite lacking any factual basis.
The false report was posted by former Republican House candidate Jack Lombardi II, whose now-deleted post alleged that a security sweep uncovered hidden surveillance equipment in the Oval Office. According to Ballotpedia, Lombardi ran unsuccessfully twice in the Illinois 14th Congressional district in 2022 and 2024.
Lombardi has appeared on MAGA Republican cable news shows and events, and his website invites visitors to join his “community of truth-seekers and get the facts you deserve—no more guesswork, just real, reliable information.”

From the Kansas City Star..reporting House GOP looking at applying a fair market income tax against corporate fringe benefits.
So tax on 401k match, Personal time off, Sick Time, Company Cell phone, Use of Company Vehicle, Education assistance...and more....would all become taxable income perks
GOP Considers Taxing ‘Fringe Benefits’
In an effort to offset revenue losses from President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, House Republicans are reportedly considering taxing fringe benefits. Grant Thornton’s Washington National Tax Office tax principal Jeff Martin said, “If enacted, workers would likely have to pay income tax on the fair market value of the fringe benefits they are getting from their employer.”16 examples of fringe benefits
Employers can offer different types of fringe benefits. Here are 16 examples of fringe benefits available:1. Employee stock options
Stock options are contracts that enable an investor to buy, trade, or sell stocks in a business. Employee stock options often give employees the chance to own stock in the company for which they work at a discounted price. This is a good fringe benefit because the value of your stock can increase when the company is performing well.Related: What Are Stock Options? (With Benefits for Employees)2. Transportation assistance
Transportation assistance is compensation an employer pays to help cover the costs of getting to and from work. If you commute to work, your employer might offer you transportation assistance. This can mean full or partial reimbursement for buses, trains and parking, as well as gas reimbursement for your car.3. Free or discounted meals
Employers may offer meals to employees while at work for free or with a discount. This can include breakfast, lunch, or dinner, as well as snacks or drinks, such as coffee, throughout the day. Companies sometimes offer this benefit on occasion rather than every day. For example, a business may cater meals for special events or they may host free lunches monthly to encourage employees to communicate with each other.Related: 15 of the Best Work Perks and Discounts for Employees4. Free gym membership
If a business has an onsite gym or is located near a gym, they may offer free gym membership as a fringe benefit. This enables employees to exercise regularly, which offers many health benefits. This type of benefit can motivate employees and give them greater satisfaction, which can positively affect their work.5. Tuition reduction or assistance
In some cases, employers might offer you help in paying for your tuition. With tuition assistance, you can continue your education and bring that knowledge into the workplace. Advanced degrees are a smart investment for employers as they can improve your skill set and the quality of your work.6. Life, dental, or vision insurance
Some employers offer their employees various forms of insurance. The type of insurance and the coverage plans available may vary, and it's ultimately up to you to select the right plan for you and your family. Employer-provided insurance is a good benefit because it's often more cost-effective.7. Childcare reimbursement
Some employers offer to pay for some or all of your childcare costs during the time you're at work. Others offer childcare on-site so employees can bring their children to the work site with them. This is a great benefit to retaining employees who become parents, as childcare reimbursement can help parents afford to work more while managing their childcare costs.Related: What Are Compensation Packages? (Definition and Example)8. Company-owned vehicle
If your position requires a decent amount of travel, your employer might offer you a company-owned vehicle. This is a great fringe benefit for employees who have to pay for gas out-of-pocket and use their regular vehicles to perform their job responsibilities. A benefit of using a company-owned vehicle is that your employer handles expenses such as gas and maintenance.9. Unlimited paid time off (PTO)
While some employers offer a set number of paid days off, the promise of unlimited days is an up-and-coming fringe benefit in many workplaces. Often, unlimited PTO is dependent upon employees meeting work expectations. Having more personal and paid time off can increase job satisfaction and productivity, so it's also beneficial for the employer.Related: Everything You Need to Know About Unlimited PTO (With Tips)10. Employee discounts
Employee discounts can apply to any product or service a company offers. These discounts enable employees and sometimes their families to purchase company products at a lower price. Often, employee discounts take a percentage off of the regular market price. This fringe benefit can also help increase sales and employee loyalty.11. Discounted amusement park tickets
Discounted tickets to theme parks are a great fringe benefit for employees who enjoy visiting various amusement parks with friends or family. This is a great way for employers to show they believe in a healthy work-life balance. Employers may offer tickets for nearby attractions or ones that are popular.12. Retirement plan contributions
One of the most-coveted fringe benefits is an employer-contributed RRSP. These plans help you save for retirement. When employers match or make qualified contributions to your RRSP, you see an increase in the amount of your overall retirement.Related: How Employer-Sponsored Pension Plans Work13. Company cell phone
If your position requires you to spend a decent amount of time on the phone, employers might offer you a company cell phone. This saves money on monthly usage costs as well as the price of the phone itself. A company cell phone also enables you to separate your work and personal life.14. Moving expenses
Your employer might offer you relocation assistance if you don't yet live in the area. Moving can be expensive, so having a company pay for these costs can be a great convenience. Employers may also help with expenses if you move to a different location where the company operates.15. Free or discounted lodging
Employers might offer you free or discounted lodging at a hotel or similar establishment if you travel on the job. For example, if you're speaking at a conference in a different city, your employer might pay for your stay at a hotel. This helps encourage employees to seek opportunities for professional development.16. Paid sick days
It's common for most employers to offer a certain number of paid sick days per year for the times when you are ill. These days are in addition to other forms of paid time off. Offering paid sick days is important to promoting health and safety for all employees in the work environment.

Trumps former National Security Adviser
“I think it’s an indication his mind is full of mush and he says whatever comes into it,” Bolton said. “He believes Vladimir Putin is his friend, and y’know you don’t call your friends ‘dictators.’”
Bolton added that Trump hasn’t liked Zelenskyy since the 2019 phone call in which he asked the Ukrainian president for dirt on Joe Biden, leading to his first impeachment.
“So, it’s no sweat off his back to go ahead and call Zelenskyy a dictator,” he said. “This is somebody who is not fit to be president. He can’t tell America’s friends from its enemies.”

Choctaw Oklahoma Mayor
Choctaw Mayor Chad Allcox — a supporter of Trump — wrote on Facebook that federal workers are "under attack."
"To be clear, I support the movement President Trump has built, but I do not support what his team is doing to federal employees, especially in the Department of Defense," Allcox wrote. "Those who work to protect this country deserve better than this treatment. If we don’t implement a phased, structured approach to fixing our government, we’re not just hurting today’s workforce — we are crippling our future. At this rate, it could take decades to rebuild what’s being recklessly torn apart right now."
