Your advice would be more suitable for someone like Obama.
Trump still has room to grow if he plays his cards right.
Demanding that Gorbachev to "tear down this wall" after joking about nuking his country does seem to be very chummy to me. And then there the very poor relationship between their wives. I'm sure Ron got an earful about Raisa.
Obama did what I suggested. Moving a notch toward universal health care is something Democrats have had one their bucket list since the 1940's.
Not if he antagonizes Republicans. Republicans have had an antipathy towards the Russkies since before I was born. It's not all going to evaporate simply because a guy they initially opposed wants it to.
