Technically, the actual quote is “The west will never, ever be broken. Our values will prevail. Our people will thrive and our civilization will triumph.”

Bannon, probably.
The far right has always had substantial support in Poland, and their government was taken over (with some help from Russia) by right wing authoritarians in 2015.

Did he previously use “God bless” that much? (Ever?)

Western civilization is ALWAYS in peril, if you listen to some on the Right. What better way to get people to send them money, or act a certain way, than to tell them if they don’t, some great calamity will befall, not only them, but everyone they love? Would you want that on your head?

I wonder how close his excuse would be to “if it didn’t dress that way…”
I am not sure if this is mild irony or stereotypical US-American optimism:
Mr. Trump and Ms. Merkel — estranged by widely diverging temperaments, worldviews, leadership styles and visions of Europe — had a breakthrough of sorts just before their brief meeting on the eve of the Group of 20 conference in Hamburg on Thursday night. They got the handshake right.

From the headline and lede, I’d say more like vaguely cynical best-we-can-hope-for-ism.
That would be the wall that they didn’t discuss at the meeting.

Dueling accounts of Trump /Putin meeting:
I don’t believe el Trumpo’s version at all and the Russian version, well, is more plausible (gulp).
“Sergei Lavrov said (link in Russian) “president Trump said he heard president Putin’s clear statement that this is not true and that the Russian leadership didn’t interfere, and he accepts these statements.” What’s more, Lavrov said that either Trump or Tillerson (he couldn’t remember) said the “campaign” about Russia’s alleged interference has taken on “a strange nature.””

He really does have a great channel, and he wasn’t making a political reference. But I laughed.
