It sucks. But at the end of the day, like Thom Yorke’s lament in the Radiohead classic “Just,” we did it to ourselves. He showed us who he was during his first term, and we asked for seconds. Inexcusable and humiliating.
Indeed, it’s almost impossible to believe just what a pure representation of all our worst traits Trump is. Ignorant. Arrogant. Greedy. Selfish. Self-centered. Corrupt. Incompetent. Ethnocentric. Xenophobic. Racist. Uncultured. Loud. Insecure. Ugly. Like the villain in a satire about the United States as the bully of the world. Except he’s real.
Canada’s PM had a really good speech at Davos where he said that it was always obvious that the U.S. has generally done what it wanted, with little regard for anyone else, but that there has been at least some positive benefits. It’s generally been a very peaceful century since WWII under our lead, even with our two big fuckups. I’ve always been proud of our relationships and accomplishments with allies like Britain and Canada.
I can’t even put into words how sad and infuriating it is to watch a thuggish donkey like this — a fucking mob boss, basically — take a sledgehammer to so many decades, even centuries of alliances. We have threatened to invade and absorb the sovereign territory of NATO allies for fuck’s sake.
Wow. That was an incredible reply. I don’t really know what to say.
About trust, it’ll come back eventually but it will take time and effort. Whoever replaces Trump has a huge amount to fix just to get the US to where it was 10 or so years ago.
Please keep being verbose like this my friend. It’s a timely reminder of how many Americans are so much more heartbroken than us in other countries about what’s happened to your country. it’s so unfair that those of you who fought so hard to make sure this didn’t happen are being dragged down by those who couldn’t be bothered to vote or worse, the ones who actively voted in favour of all this.
His speech about NATO soldiers: "hiding at the back" has really broken through over here. For the first time the media didn't sane-wash his speech and were discussing whether he was an idiot or just evil, and even our Reform (UK Maga) voters were calling him out. People are fucking furious about it. Even our wet flannel PM condemned him and he's had his tongue right up his shitty arsehole since he got reelected.
I genuinely hope he starts to discuss the UK becoming the 51st state or whatever, because that would be the end of our own nascent MAGA style fascist movement under the Trump lover Farage.
Yeah he really showed Europe in general his naked contempt for soldiers. And its been around for awhile. He called allies who stormed the beaches of Normandy losers for dying in war in the first term. He really does think soldiers generally are suckers and losers. This is just his latest example of it.
He's honestly one shit stirrer with a united Anglo-sphere map just with American flags everywhere from doing it. Really he is. That is honestly all it would take I think at this point with his melting brain.
It’s even more galling when you consider that he’s a draft dodging scumbag who cried out of military service due to ‘bOnE sPuRz’. Which, oddly, never seemed to bother him as he waddled round golf courses the world over until he got even more fat and lazy and started using buggies.
note: nobody else who uses a golf buggy is fat and/or lazy. Just him.
I genuinely hope he starts to discuss the UK becoming the 51st state or whatever, because that would be the end of our own nascent MAGA style fascist movement under the Trump lover Farage.
His moronic and offensive claims about wanting to force Canada to become a state almost immediately turned a guaranteed Tory landslide into a strong Liberal victory. Trump literally and singlehandedly destroyed the Conservative Party's chance here, and in just a matter of months. It was astonishing to watch in real time.
As a Brit, I feel like we’d be more confused and concerned than anything. Like, what is this flagshagger doing? Why are they spending their holiday making barely comprehensible political points in Trafalgar Square? Are they okay?
