Donald Trump is running a shadow foreign policy, which has the world on edge

Donald Trump has publicly stated that he talks to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regularly, with Netanyahu asking Trump for advice, seemingly as part of a shadow foreign policy that also reportedly includes contacts with Russia’ Vladimir Putin. It’s part of a Trump shadow looming large over the election both at home, and abroad. Journalist Terrell Starr has been reporting from one, the country of Georgia.

DOJ, should've been dealt with before now! Thanks for nothing! I blame the US government for putting us and America in this situation!

[deanbusch]

​​One of Trumps MSG speakers just called Puerto Rico a floating garbage dump, and then pointed at a black guy and said he carved watermelons with him. This needs coverage

[lindabingham]

Isn't there some kind of law against interfering with the government? From calls to Putin and Netanyahu and having Congress and the Senate on speed disl?!?! RIDICULOUS!!

[Gerryjournal]

There is no head of state in the entire world who wants Trumps 'view on things'. They call because they want him in their pockets. And it's the easiest, cheapest thing ever. Flattery

[Kooster]

I hope that the NSA is recording every single phone call Trump is taking with foreign leaders. We CANNOT let Trump get away with a shadow foreign policy, like what Reagan did with the Iranian Hostage Crisis.

[jaysonpida]

I have to assume that our NSA and CIA already know about trump's 'shadow' foreign policy and are not just sitting on their 'hands'.
I hope...

This is not new. We've all known this for a long time.

[leonheyhey]

Vote blue to keep Trump away from the White House and in prison! Then we won't need to deal with this 💩 anymore!

[herminaedwards]

You guys are a bit late! He's been running his shadow govt since he got booted out! Durrh!

[longfellow]

Trumps Golden Shower video from Russia must be super exciting for Putin to have this hold on him.

[odium]

Elon needs to be seriously investigated as well. Hes doing allot of shady stuff and is most likely a Russian asset.

[Eddie-qxcx]

Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.

[bugsy]

Tbe meltdown here is going to be E P I

[ChopperartisLife]

[loridyson]

The Logan
Isn't trump & Elon both breaking it by talking to Putin? Plus trump is now talking to BB a lot??

[_of_]

Great news is that the secret service and all military personnel will protect the Constitution and not some politician trying to be a dictator

[Snickerdoods.x]

I'm so sick of him being allowed to get away with everything.

[frankwithrow]

How many classified top secret files has Trump passed on to his buddy Putin

[brotherlos]

Way to go Garland, no need to enforce the law for select people. Ie Trump, Musk, and so many GOP this BS is because of his lack of action, toed for worst AG ever, with Barr...
