The overall effect has long been there.

What is not always appreciated is :

1. who is offended (or pleased)
2. how long has a various activity or emotion been going on.

Therefore, the math of some stories, or DU members or the blogs, is suspect. Complacent. Over the top. Accuracy in math ? Low. Really low.

------ Back to the OP.

Some of the Middle East are clearly schmoozing. They know most of their cards. Thousands of years of history vs. Trump and his delusions of the week.
