The BBC really struggles reporting on Trump. He is not conducting foreign policy with a strategy and a plan. He is cosplaying diplomacy. It’s reality TV for him. Don’t feed into his narrative.

I can offer you a little cherry to put on top of that Schadenfreude. Here is a tweet by Marine Le Pen from 2015 saying: "I ask for a strict and full application of the law based on the principle of zero tolerance." Isn't it sometimes nice when people get what they ask for?
