No nation is going to start killing people because of a Tweet. Be realistic.
It detracts from your otherwise valid points when paranoia and blind hatred overshadow your arguments.
The number of posts you've made about the leader of a foreign nation is astonishing. Are there zero domestic problems to be fired up about?
> You again?
I guess I could say the same. Touché.
I've lived in Canada and the United States, I ran a business there and I have more American friends than European ones. I think I'm perfectly capable of understanding American politics. Likely I know more about your political system and it's idiosyncrasies as well as how the legal system works than a large number of Americans. You're more than welcome to criticize the leaders of my nation with cause. But you likely won't even know their names.
You're making wild assertions based on supposition and nothing else. Worse, you're using deliberately spun articles to support your nonfactual assertions.
You're getting all worked up about leaders of a foreign nation, that literally have nothing to do with you or have any impact on you. Trump said mean stuff on Twitter so people thousands of miles away should engage?

No I don't, and I don't care. How your nation governs itself is your nation's business, and the entire point I'm making. It's OK to ask questions, or wonder aloud... but to pretend to have a deep understanding and an authoritative judgement on foreign affairs, based on clearly biased opinions disguised as facts is simply unbecoming and devastatingly unproductive.
What you are engaging in is sport... not a civil discourse.
Argue the facts then, not the source.
> Trump said mean stuff on Twitter so people thousands of miles away should engage?
Trump said mean stuff on Twitter that has resulted in my friends being more at risk than they should be, people I care about getting gravely ill and quite possibly will result in one or more of them dying. If this sounds like 'fun and games' or a spectator sport to you then I'm sorry, I am not amused.

America and the American economy impact the world.
> No I don't, and I don't care.
That's fine by me, but that is your choice and I have made my choice different. The United States well being concerns lots of people outside of the United States. That is the kind of responsibility that comes with being a superpower, like it or not.
> How your nation governs itself is your nation's business, and the entire point I'm making.
And yet, if a foreigner would have something useful to say we'd likely listen. Because typically outside perspective is worth a couple of IQ points.

And that is your opinion. The whole idea that the media can no longer be trusted unless they clap in sync with the Trump marching orders is ridiculous. If you want some problematic media look no further than Fox news or Breitbart.

So you keep saying. But it isn't a sport to me, it is deadly serious. And lots of American lives are on the line proving that on a daily basis.
"Dear Twitter Followers, It is with grave heart that I have to ask you to do the right thing for your country, go out and do something about - insert bogeyman of the hour here - and I will be sure to reward you greatly. The time has come to do your part. I personally promise to pardon anybody that ends up on the wrong side of what today still is the law. Let's take this country and make it even greater."
That's just a two minute sample, give me an hour or so and I'll come up with something much worse than that. These things are easier to start than to stop.
