One person familiar with many of the calls reportedly called them “abominations” that would cause senior Republicans to lose confidence in Trump.

from CNN’s Carl Bernstein based on anonymous sources alleges that President Trump is regularly unprepared and out of his depth in phone calls with world leaders, in which he frequently bullies U.S. allies and gets outplayed by enemies, with people familiar with the calls describing them as national security threats that would cause senior Republicans to lose confidence in the president. ... [+]

“The sources said there was little evidence that the President became more skillful or competent in his telephone conversations with most heads of state over time,” Bernstein writes. “Rather, he continued to believe that he could either charm, jawbone or bully almost any foreign leader into capitulating to his will, and often pursued goals more attuned to his own agenda than what many of his senior advisers considered the national interest.

Dont talk about alleges. Talk about facts.

US laughing stock of the world and the world should think the loyal cult base should be laughed at, they are the European immigrants that settled in the south and Midwest. Europe thanks a lot. Hope we survive 120 days.

Come on FORBES, how about some responsible business journalism? I used to love your publication - for 30 years! Steve Forbes must have retired and Malcolm is looking down from heaven in shame.

Alleges? AKA rumor says...AKA FAKENEWS

“Stunning” report from career-leftist Carl Bernstein based on anonymous sources. Give me a break.

Pathetic. Who ever wrote this is complete loser and the editor is a loser for letting it go to print.

Doesn’t he know he’s supposed to bow, then bend over and say thanks?

what, wants them to play fair.

Outplayed by enemies? How has China, Iran, NoKorea or Russia outplayed the U.S.? This is more lib attacks that don't match reality

Fake news

He’s an idiot, we know. Vote 🗳

Had Trump known about a hit on our folks, he would have taken them out like in Iran.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Boycott left!

We get it Forbes, Orange Man Bad 🎃

BIG IF TRUE is done. FakeNews

do you ever report in business anymore? That’s a real question

I am unclear why we need to waste the time until the election to boot him to the gated curb. If you are going to say 'out of respect for the office', I counter with if he has shown nothing but disrespect to the office of Pres. then he can leave today.

You’re reporting this like it’s newly discovered. Doesn’t America understand that it is a laughing stock around the world. And when it’s allies get off the phone they think he’s an idiot.

BlackLivesMatter TRUMPS 'WHITE POWER' Tweet this morning He just deleted it. 4 secs LET ME REPEAT... the PRESIDENT OF THE USA JUST TWEETED 'Thank you to the great people of The Villages' of this guy yelling “WHITE POWER!'. Disgusting!

Fake news!

Trump will not allow the US to be taken advantage of by allies or anyone else - AND we have been !

So what you’re saying is that Trump actually has balls, unlike most other recent U.S President, aka Obama, and puts his country first above all while not being threatened/taking shit from foreign nations? Exactly what I thought

Is it really stunning though?

You mean like when NATO nations havent paid their agreed upon share for decades & Trump demands it. Or when S Korea hasnt paid its fair share for the protection we provide. Both cases the response was a positive for American taxpayers

Is there any question POTUS is a sociopath with dementia?

Hey Forbes, what happened here:

How far Forbes has fallen. So sad. SteveForbesCEO what has happened to your magazine?

First sentence is a CNN report. So I didnt read any further.

“Stunning” is a stretch.

Hope Trump like my Profile Picture

Seriously? You didn't know that from his public statements ? Time to get some fresh blood over there.

Hi

Twitch Temporarily Suspends Trump For 'Hateful Conduct,' While Reddit Bans Pro-Trump Forum'The_Donald' subreddit, notorious for its controversial yet popular posts, had over 790,000 subscribers as of Monday morning. Maybe American social media should ban you, for spewing Chinese propaganda? Saying it was just a 'pro-trump forum' is putting it lightly. Well we trying to get rid of racist assholes, need to start at the top.
