"Been reported"? You mean like NBC reported that DJT gave up the full accounting requirement? Keep trying.

Meanwhile Trump is using Twitter to advertise his new golf course in scotland.

Actually, what was pathetic was watching a newly elected president in 2008 fly around the world apologizing for what is considered the world's greatest country. How did that work out? What is your definition of sucking up.....Obama's whispering to Russian President Medvedev on a live mic he'll have more flexibility about russian missiles........or Trump walking out on Kim. Who's the suck up?

According to whom?

Gee, I dunno. I just pulled that out of thin air. But if you want to learn something, maybe you might want to take a poll of all the people climbing over fences to get in here. Or maybe ask the millions who over stay their visas and refuse to leave this country. Or maybe ask the citizens of the countries who receive billions each year from us to help keep their economies afloat. Just a wild guess. Take many history classes?
But if I'm wrong.....I look forward to you educating me.

There are millions trying to get into Germany and other European countries. Also Australia. I don't see how you've answered the question.

The main reason the U.S has millions trying to get in are because you have a strong economy, are wealthy and have a border that is accessible by people in countries that are poor. If Canada, any Western European country, Australia or NZ had the same situation, there would be just as many trying to come into there so it's not really proof of being the greatest country.

The U.S is the greatest country in the world for Americans but people in the other countries mentioned would say theirs is the greatest country. There's no one way to measure that so you're left with is an opinion.

"Unlike here where we seem to have a bunch of people still throwing temper tantrums because their candidate wasn't elected a couple years ago. "

Is this post from 2010?

Everyone should feel their country is the greatest.

Right thought, wrong conclusion... NO one should feel his country is the greatest! Superiority is just not a very intelligent concept for mutual respect and peace.

Interesting concept to say the least. I'm assuming then you should not give your father a "worlds greatest dad" t-shirt because of superiority issues?

Yep, sure are.....and how's that working out for Europe?
But, thanks Kay for interjecting and responding for Blabel. But, I did answer....admitted "just a wild guess". Is that not good enough for you? I admit I'm wrong every once in a while.... could be wrong on this.....maybe. If so, I sincerely apologize if you are offended. So, if you think I'm off base here, I look forward to you educating me. Can't wait.

My mistake. I thought your answer was an attempt at justifying your opinion, not an admission of error.

Greatest nation? Maybe highest GDP per capita? Happiest? Highest life expectancy? Hard to say, but USA doesn't really feature on those metrics.

Scandinavian countries dominate the happiness ranks (US 18th), European countries as well as Singapore and Australia are among the healthiest (US 34th), life expectancy is topped by HK and Japan and then mostly European countries (US 37th). The only metric US tops is productivity.

Looking at all metrics Switzerland comes out as the clear winner.
