It is really interesting how "Making America Great Again" is defined by bullying. I happen to think Lavrov is correct. Unfortunately, there is no room in the presidential field in Russia for him.
In the New York Times, Tillerson states he is proud of his democracy (click here). I suppose so. The American Democracy has opened up international markets for ExxonMobile. What is not to like? Being a petroleum industry CEO has never been easier.
Republicans define leadership by the ease of economic performance, not, achieving economic growth in the face of a challenge such as the energy crisis caused by the pollution of carbon dioxide and methane. Facing that challenge was not a problem for President Obama. It is sad to realize retreating to old Republican economic strategies are actually welcome by Wall Street.
"Making America Great Again" includes turning greed loose as a priority before the well being of Americans. There is no morality in Trump's Republicans definition of "Making America Great Again."

Moscow (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov (click here) told U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday that "Washington's aggressive rhetoric" had heightened tension on the Korean peninsula and was unacceptable, the Russian foreign ministry said.
In a phone call, the two men also discussed further steps towards resolving the Syrian crisis and the situation in Ukraine, it added.
