Imagine being the leader of another country and having to listen to this dumb motherfucker who learned his history from Hollywood movies and television shows. The separation from the US can only accelerate as the US political system and its electorate cannot be trusted to elect rational leaders

Just another YUGE embarrassment on the international stage once again. Contrast this to Mark Carney's speech yesterday.

Trump, “Cause I get negative press, it’s got no credibility.” No asshat, it’s because you lie, do illegal shit, have terrible policies and over half the US hates your ass face.

Many, like me, know. Unfortunately, many Americans are checked out or just stupid. But for those of us who understand, it’s terrifying and utterly heartbreaking. We understand our relationship to Europe is irreparably broken.

GOP = P25. That agenda has been in the works since before Reagan. To think it won’t thrive long after, even if forced back underground for a couple presidential terms, is ignorant. MAGA is but a vessel. Stupid ignorant uneducated white people - usually poor - are given a vengeance as the fuel.

Not that laws matter anymore but I don’t get how the Administration can make a $700B offer to buy Greenland without Congress appropriating those funds

Embarrassed to say that lunatic and abomination Anna Paulina Luna is my representative. We have a great candidate running against her and I’m going to work tirelessly to get him elected.
NEW: Republican member of Congress Anna Paulina Luna cuts a Greenland-shaped cake with a US flag on it in Davos today.
Wondering who is with her? That’s European far right leader, George Simion, the man backed by Putin to take control of Romania’s government.
The US is a joke internationally.

Well I’m not a senator, so my powers of calling it into question are pretty much limited to writing and protest. But you could make an issue of it on the US Senate floor every legislative day.
This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?
