"Donald Trump surrounds himself with a very good, strong team", says Mark Rutte, almost as if he himself is already part of Trump's cabinet and totally ignoring the extreme controversies surrounding many of Trump's choices. And Mark Rutte also still behaves as if he is PM of The Netherlands: “The Netherlands must brace itself for significant additional defense investments to guarantee security in the long term" Rutte points to the large expenditure on social security, health care and pensions, and asks where savings can be made. In combination with the words Rutte spoke this morning at the NATO press conference, it is clear what Mark Rutte's ultimate goal is; one government for the whole world led by himself, Netanyahu and Trump. Keep Mark Rutte’s NATO out of the EU! Protect Children, not the Arms Industry! STOP Mark Rutte as Secretary General of NATO. change.org/Stop_Mark_Rutte

GERINGONÇA 2.0 - WHY NOT? Mr. President Costa, As a Luso-American, I extend my congratulations on your new position. A remarkable accomplishment for a such a petite but focused nation. Inspiring. Europe is at a crossing roads and I hope our Portuguese sense of direction - morals - will lead - guide you - to a more united, less dependent, democratic and robust Europe. You put Portugal on the map with your geringonça. While Asia is capturing the world's attention, the future can tilt back to Europe. Build new alliances with that dynamic part of the world like our ancestors did, and like they did, usher in a new global trade. Peace not war. Build new bridges. Deploy a geringonça 2.0. We still have our differences, but this is a moment for moving forward. Just learn from your past mistakes. They were whoppers. Be aware of enablers. As always, at your disposal, should I be of assistance from this side of the Atlantic. I am contemplating a run for the US Congress. Delighted to meet with you upon your visit to Washington, DC in the very near future. Warm personal regards - abraços, Frank Ferreira [email protected]

Diversity must ALWAYS be seen as a force multiplier, not an obstacle!!!

Congratulations sir. It is time to ask Europe to pay #reparations to Africans for all the atrocities they have committed.

It’s a great sound bite. Building unity, ok, I understand that but can someone explain what “cherish our natural diversity means”?
