Donald Trump and Theresa May (the Prime Minister, not the pornstar) at NATO, behold the dignity of The Donald! |
It was bad
enough when his administration decided that, yes, they would give all
the classified intelligence we'd handed over on the Manchester bomber
to the press thus compromising the active investigation and
jeopardising all future intelligence co-operation between the UK and
US because, frankly, you're meant to be able to trust your allies.
I never
expected to empathise with Benjamin Netanyahu but here we bloody are.
Then there
was the speech. A normal person, or at least a normal politician,
would just lead the moment of silence and launch into the platitudes.
To the credit of Trump's handlers, he started well. I wasn't even
that shocked when he decided that calling ISIS “losers” was
suitable to the dignity of the moment.
No, what had
my blood boiling was when Trump finally proved, once and for all,
that no tragedy is so great or so distant that it can't be all about
him. From the loser comment he segued into a rambling monologue about
some of his favourite subjects: how NATO owed him money; unsubtle
digs about how his Muslim immigration ban was a good idea and similar
measures would have prevented the bombing (the bomber was born and
raised in Manchester, so no); and reminiscing about how amazing his
speech in Saudi Arabia was.
All this
quite aside from trying to rip Emmanuel Macron's arm off when it
looked like the French President was trying to avoid a handshake and
literally grabbing another NATO leader to shove the man aside because
The Donald has to be at the front of the shot, damn it!
He is a
child. He is a stupid child who can't even conjure up the simple
human decency to lead a moment of silence without finding a way to
make it all about him.
Worthless
orange shitgibbon.

You sir, are absolutely correct. There are plenty of Americans that are ashamed Trump is our President. We can only hope he is impeached soon.
