Bloomberg Blasts Trump: ‘Don’t Let International Cooperation Ruin A Good Insult’
By Bloomberg's Editorial Board
For President Donald Trump, apparently, encouraging greater international cooperation is not as important as getting off a good insult.

Bloomberg should provide us with his preferred list of co-operative magic phrases and urgings..none of which will work with Myanmar or Syria..let alone Russia or China. Trump told off some overpaid, lazy and indifferent “Diplomatic” no loads at the UN..so what? “Rocket Man” is derogatory?? We better watch out..Kimbo might fly missiles over Japan or threaten Guam..or test hydrogen bombs!
