Yes,he's my President. He's also my brother in Christ.
You should look to your country and its politics.Criticizing America and Americans is pathetic and evidence of being a joiner with slanderers,liars,hate mongers,Satanists in media who breed fake news, and fools.

Don't get me started about Dutch politics, it is pathetic.

Projections against Trump is just more fodder for the trash heap of slander and hate agenda.

Nope, just worried about the direction your country is going.

Worried about the lack of an answer to my question.

Typical.

What's the difference between a republic and a democracy ?

France is a republic as well.
A republic is a representative system governed by a charter or constitution that protects individual rights against majority rule, whereas a democracy is ruled by the will of the majority.

Wasn't it Plato who said democracies eventually degenerate into totalitarianism? America seems to be moving in that direction.

Agreed. Yet,you focus on ours.

The thing is that what the Trump administration the last year has said has an huge impact were I live.

That did not happen in all former administrations.

We'll make it. We're survivors.

I do hope for you.

That's what I thought you'd say.
You're all the same.

I expected you would ignore the pesky question, but one never should give up hope.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ -- Efez 1:2

You should study American history. Every Administration has focused politics and negotiations on other countries.
It's what shifted our focus from isolationism to global power.
I do hope for you.
God blessed America. That's faith and fact.

It wasn't a pesky question. It was a red herring. It also proved you,like many foreign opponents of America,know nothing of our policies and procedures.
You're a joiner.
That's sad.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ -- Efez 1:2
Same to you.

I thought you said you were Canadian earlier. Is everyone just allowed to change their nationally on a whim? :funlaugh2
As far as I've ever noticed, he's always stated he's from the Netherlands. I've not seen that change.

I know, but it was always in a cooperate spirit, reaching out to each other. Now you have a president that is bullying allies. And you have probably no idea how much damage already is done as I don't see that back in your media. Many EU countries (my own included) turn away from US, investors in America retract their money, banks, pension-funds, EU made a no-tariff deals with India and south America instead of doing business with good old USA. All because the unrest your president creates with his big mouth. That might work in real estate business, counterproductive in politics. In politics it is about trust.

It wasn't a pesky question. It was a red herring. It also proved you,like many foreign opponents of America,know nothing of our policies and procedures.

Sorry no red herring, my question is bulls-eye in the splits you are into offered no good alternative to choose.

If a man and a woman in the Netherlands are on a date and are going "dutch", who pays? hlf

Origin going Dutch - In the 15th century, the anabaptist (now recognized as baptist) were not tolerated in the majority Protestant Germany. Due to their feelings on baptism and communion, they were persecuted and sometimes put to death because they wouldn't baptize infants. At that time, the term "we should go Dutch" referred to their fleeing to Holland where their belief and practices were more tolerated. Therefore "Going Dutch" meant going the easy way.

Later - Holland has always had the custom of people being treated as equals. Therefore if two people go out for a meal and they both have an enjoyable experience they both pay half.

Me - the old fashioned way, I always had to pay :Bubbles:

God Almighty has always had the custom of treating those who are abiding in Him as being better than those abiding in the devil.

He sees His true Children as being better than the children of the devil so God does not treat everyone as equals. disagree.gif

And there are very few anabaptists around today.

The baptists of today are definitely not anabaptist

I'd go to an anabaptist church if there was one in my area, but I will not go to any of the baptist churches in my area because they all teach the false doctrines of once saved always saved which the anabaptists did not teach.

Democrats... They make freedom over the shedding of innocent blood first. In Russia such criminals would end up tortured. Not so with the terrorists we know as Democrats. Shed innocent blood all day long for all we care. You were born that way! You will be out soon! Don't you worry!

In my college days I was a member of the Freewill Baptist. They would treat me out to eat as a teenager. They would also combine a foot washing (pronounced foot warshin by them) with communion.
