Imagine living in a country where your prime minister has no problem giving all our money away to terrorists.

NOT him

Focusing too much on being anti-Trump is a strategic mistake for the Democrats. In order to win, you have to convince the average non-partisan person that you are seeking their best interest. Moral high grounding does not work. The current majority sentiment of the US population is that they want the government to prioritize the interest of the US first and foremost. Whether or not Trump is a bully to other countries when he tries to prioritize that interest is irrelevant to them.
Critiques Democratic strategy and argues that prioritizing national interest over moral positioning is more effective politically.
