It used to be of grave concern when our "commander," was "Code Pink," 2016, but now that "Mad Dog" has been "appointed," all those {the "world"} who were laughing at "Barry," {and America}, are now calling President Trump to pledge their honor and their undying support!!! America is BACK!!! The "world," just breathed a BIG, BIG sigh of relief!!! Had Hillary been elected, "WE" would have been lost, and been a continued laughing-stock!!! How could America be so stupid? would have been the overall worldly consensus; and
well-(D)eserved!!! Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP!!! GOD BLESSED AMERICA!!! Now; "DRAIN THAT SWAMP!!!"

Did you read some of the comments of the "common people?"

And what do you think of the Dakota protests and the vet reinforcements?

Where in the world did you get THAT information? I watch many foreign news feeds - and didn't see any of that. What I did see, was "cautious optimism", which is euphemistic for "Jeez, I hope he isn't crazy".

Kinda like the rest of the country, about everything. People who are not affected one way or the other, putting their two cents worth in about what others are doing who ARE affected. It would be like me stating an opinion about someone in your neighborhood putting up an atrocious Christmas display - when I live 2000 miles away. Then again, Americans are famous for sticking their noses where they don't belong or wanted, and thinking their opinion should have more weight than the opinions of the people who LIVE there.

The "busybody". The American tendency to believe they know what's best for other people.

Generally "most Americans"
Have no clue as to their Country,let alone the world at large.
Democracy has done its ugly work.
It is time to re-educate the populace.

The "world" wanted us for ww1, ww2, the "cold" war , economic recovery, rebuilding their industry, now many think they suddenly do not need the USA. They may, if they refuse to compromise, discover just how painful that can be.

I may be a little dense but what does an article about American Veterans joing a North Dakota pipeline protest have to do with the world? This is a Reuters article and there is no indication of any foreign publishing.

I read a large number of comments made by prominent politicians in other countries prior to the election and basically they didn't have a clue as to what conditions in America were. They had plenty of opinions, all of them wrong. I attributed this to the fact that they are of the same ilk as the politicians of both parties who were rejected by the American people.

These foreigners have opinions, we the people have direct experience which led us to reject all of the BS from the Republican candidates as well as HillBillary Clinton. We picked the man who spoke to our needs and understood our experiences. All of the others including the foreigners are simply interested in continuing the elitist rule. We have had enough of these pigs gorging at the public trough.

Yes and we may be getting out of that bad habit.If we have to fight again i think it will be because we have too and then i will support trump but not for just sticking our nose where it doesn't belong.

Maybe the American tendency to stand with the underdog. Reroute the pipe line problem solved.

I read an analysis of that prossibility. The line would be increased about seventy miles in length and would cross four additional waterways plus the same river. It would have to disturb parkland and other ecologically shaky areas. This is the route of least potential damage, the line is 85% complete and the river crossing was approved. They are waiting for the Army Corps of Engineers study to complete for so they can give final sign off.
