America Under Trump; Weird and Funny, Turning Its Back On the World

AT THE UNITED NATIONS the president of the United State carefully explained that the United States wants nothing more to do with other nations. No international agreements, no cooperation, no climate change agreements, no nuclear arms limitations agreements, nothing. Nothing, that is, other than a few trade wars here and there. make damned sure you stay out of our business, and we'll stay out of yours. Like hell we'll stay out of your business. Other than a few hundred military bases scattered around the world , and the occasional invasion, give or take a regime change or two carried out by the CIA and American special forces, we're done, we're out, and you're on your own. That might have been the best, and the strangest pledge ever heard by Iran, Iraq, Latin American, and a few dozen other countries. The French president,for one, openly and decisively demonstrated the inanity of unilateralism as opposed to multilateralism. But the American president probably wasn't listening, as is his wont.Were the troops in Afghanistan were taking it all in, with straight faces. Depends on whether the C.O. was on site, eh? What about the sailors in the U.S. carrier fleets groups patrolling the South China Sea, off the coast of North Korea, and the Persian Gulf? Are we still planning to plant military bases in Poland? How's that for respecting the territorial sovereignty of other nations? the Unites States of American shall henceforth impinge upon the sovereignty, territorial or otherwise, of no other nation, and we'll sell you some good wet land in central Florida to boot.that no one at the U.N. laughed out loud is a minor miracle - that came soon thereafter. Next came the funny part, the 2020 election campaign kick off, which Trump actually kicked off the day after inauguration. The current president of the United States, orated the current president of the United States, has accomplished more during his term in office than any other president of the United States...well, almost. Giggles. Then, rollicking, unrestrained laughter. They could hold it in no longer. Trump, always quick on his feet, expressed surprise at the reaction, then thanked the assemble multitudes for laughing with him, not at him. More laughter. they were laughing, Trump wasn't. He would have been truly humorous, had he not been in such deadly earnest, and the world knows it. Trump, the most successful unintended stand up clown comedian ever to occupy teh White House, better than Reagan, better than Lincoln. We want nothing to do with you, but please be informed; our president is a very accomplished man...As an American, I must sty to the world that I am truly sorry about this, as I am confident are millions of my fellow Americans. its embarrassing. never in my wildest nightmarish imaginings did I think it would get this bad, go this low. Our president, my president, is a criminal, a pathological liar, a severely paranoid narcissist, and, the coup de grace, an absolute doofus. this is worse than mucking through Ronald Reagan's dementia-drenched second term. I've heard highly intelligent people say that somehow we'll survive this. I hope they're right, and I wish I could believe it.
