President Donald Trump’s tweets not only trigger worries at home. They rattle leaders around the world.

But U.S. officials reportedly tried to reassure global policy representatives at an international conference in Germany over the weekend, urging them to pay no attention to the president’s Twitter rants.

The U.S. actually is angry with the Kremlin over interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, despite Trump’s Twitter denials, American politicians and officials told foreign policy leaders in Munich, The Washington Post reported. America also remains firmly committed to Europe. And, to be clear, the U.S. doesn’t plan on dropping a nuclear bomb on North Korea, the U.S. leaders said.

“The values are the same, the relationships are the same,” insisted Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio), the Post reported.

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said Saturday he no idea how to judge U.S. intentions. “Is it deeds? Is it words? Is it tweets?” he asked.

The disconnect between Trump’s tweets and U.S. government leaders often has been apparent.

4. Those assurances are meaningless

As long as the GOP is in control, enables Trump and is doing nothing to remove him.

7. The question behind the question.

What they wanted to know is do these tweets really represent what the president of the USA is thinking and planning, really? The answer to this is yes. The officials totally lied and I'm sure the Europeans know it. Their answers proved the no-faith of the USA from the top orange assclown to the lowliest minion, they are all hate filled destructive trolls who have no relationship with the truth, only with lying, stealing from the country and destruction of our way of life.
