'You have a great democracy - keep it going': Finland's Niinistö to Trump

Finnish President Sauli Niinistö made a pointed remark about US democracy during a joint press conference with President Donald Trump on Wednesday. Niinistö said that he had visited the American History Museum, National Museum of African American History and Culture, and National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. “Mr President, you have here a great democracy,” the Finnish president told Trump. “Keep it going on.”

    Yeah. When Putin said that liberal democracy had grown obsolete, the media asked Trump how he felt about that. He launched into a rant about Democrats. That about summed it up

    its kinda true when you read the headline and listen to the conference that if just slightly altered circumstances were domestically leveraged that you could automatically recognize acostas anger and protestation, which the president might consider putting more into check based on cnns resentments and conditioned opposition to journalism.

    Thank you president of Finland for your discrete attitude and very diplomatic answer, after noticing that the boor next to him didn't want to answer anything, he won't so i suggest journalists just keep it cool, just investigate on your own, called by that guy "the enemy of the people", just become many many maaaaany whistleblowers, he'll have to answer to the respective authorities.
