Poland's nationalist government has irked the EU with its anti-democratic moves, but its president can expect a warm reception at the White House.

Polish President Andrzej Duda attends a news conference after the Three Seas Initiative forum in Slovenia on June 6, 2019.

And with Polish parliamentary elections four months away, a show of friendship with an American president is a campaign selling point for the ruling party. Despite his title, Duda isn’t Poland’s most important political figure. The real power is considered to rest with Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who heads the ruling Law and Justice party, or PiS. But the White House visit boosts Duda’s prestige.

Poland has taken a canny approach to wooing an American president known to take considerable pride in his personal brand. Last year, Duda proposed naming a Polish military installationThat particular piece of Trump-themed real estate may not become a reality, but Poland is hoping to secure a larger American military footprint than the approximately 4,000 troops already in the country on a rotating basis.

God you all are such propagandists. 'nationalist', 'anti-democratic', but the evil ones will receive a warm welcome from Lucifer himself at the White House. Did you fail at writing telenovelas and crappy horror films before turning to writing propaganda for Mr. Goebbels?

Pressure is good to make things run smoothly not always but sometimes. No one can make unusual statements and go . Life is not “To go “ you have to know that the in USA there’s nothing but there’s everything for anything. Keep it usual

What a load of bull.....!

Trump is despicable. But we knew that already.

President Trump announced that as many as 2,000 additional troops would be sent to Poland, deepening the U.S. military presence near Russia’s border after Polish President Andrzej Duda made an unusually public effort to woo Trump.

Wow LAT, don’t even bother to hide your agenda.

Not true, no crackdown on media and the nationalism is not accurate.

This idiot is in Trump's pocket

ugh
