But then I reversed on that: it would be bad for<em> us? </em>That the transparency of knowing how ignorant he is on some of this stuff is good? If we didn't have his tweets, most other leaders surely wouldn't say how ignorant he was and most journalists would struggle to make us believe it when they saw evidence of it?</p> <p>Compare Mr. Secretive Silence So Far, Sec. of State Rex Tillerson. We don't even know what he is up to besides a very few public statements and leaks from underlings.</p> </div></div></div> Sat, 18 Mar 2017 20:08:20 +0000 artappraiser comment 235398 at http://dagblog.com  more on same: http://dagblog.com/comment/235397#comment-235397 <a id="comment-235397"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/link/thats-not-how-it-works-trumps-grasp-nato-questioned-after-merkel-tweets-22135">&#039;That&#039;s not how it works&#039;: Trump&#039;s grasp of Nato questioned after Merkel tweets </a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p> more on the tweets:</p> <div> <p><a class="l _HId" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/18/us/politics/donald-trump-angela-merkel-germany.html"><em>Trump</em>, Day After <em>Merkel's</em> Visit, Says Germany Pays NATO and US ...</a></p> <div>New York Times-4 hours ago</div> <div>“Despite what you have heard from the FAKE NEWS, I had a GREAT meeting with German Chancellor Angela <em>Merkel</em>,” Mr. <em>Trump</em> wrote in a ...</div> <div> </div> </div> <div><a class="_sQb" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/after-merkel-meeting-trump-says-germany-owes-more-to-nato/">After <em>Merkel</em> meeting, <em>Trump</em> says Germany owes "vast sums" to NATO</a><br /> CBS News-4 hours ago</div> <div> </div> <div><a class="_sQb" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/common-bonds-aside-trump-and-merkel-show-little-rapport/2017/03/18/80f33a82-0bad-11e7-bd19-fd3afa0f7e2a_story.html"><em>Trump</em> says US 'must be paid more' to defend Germany</a><br /> In-Depth-Washington Post-4 hours ago</div> <div> </div> <div><a class="_sQb" href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/03/18/angela_merkel_s_facial_expressions_illustrate_global_bafflement_at_donald.html">Angela <em>Merkel's</em> Facial Expressions Illustrate Global Bewilderment ...</a><br /> Blog-Slate Magazine (blog)-2 hours ago</div> </div></div></div> Sat, 18 Mar 2017 20:02:52 +0000 artappraiser comment 235397 at http://dagblog.com
