Here is how insane it has become. Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States of America will show up in the United Kingdom Thursday after publicly insulting the 28 other members of NATO yesterday and today. The tension between Trump and the British--really all Europe plus Canada--is such the U.S. embassy warned American travelers in the U.K. to, "keep a low profile," while he is in the country.
That's right, citizens of this nation who are abroad have been officially told by the State Department they might incur the wrath of locals if they reveal themselves as Americans, not in Beijing, or, Moscow, or even Pyongyang, but, God Bless the Queen, London, England.
Trump's latest assault on NATO began right before he left for Brussels. It came primarily through Twitter during what many of us assume was a wild bender fueled by multiple Big Macs, massive amounts of fries, plus heavy doses of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, and untold toots of uncut Colombian cocaine.
One read, "We do have a lot of allies, but we cannot be taken advantage of. We are being taken advantage of by the European Union." He went on to add that U.S. spending, "...helps them a lot more than it helps us."
The howling didn't stop there. "On top of that," he wrote, "we lose $151 billion on trade with the European Union who charge us Big tariffs (&barriers).
The obvious theme here, as always, is an appeal, or rather an affirmation of what the trailer park fascists have come to believe as gospel. Our supposed allies are ungrateful leeches out to fuck America. He continued, "NATO countries must pay MORE, the United States, must pay LESS. Very Unfair."
Just in case anyone didn't get the message about how the poor old U.S. is being ruthlessly scammed by those crafty con artists in Europe he added, "The United States is spending far more on NATO than any other Country. This is not fair, nor is it acceptable."
Then, right before boarding the big blue and white bird to jet off to Brussels, he told reporters, "NATO has not treated us fairly."
Finally, he delivered a Trumpian shot which, off the subject of NATO, still displayed his utter disregard for one of our closest allies. He accused the Germans of becoming a, "captive," to Moscow because they are getting ready to sign a natural gas pipe line deal with the Russians.
Ah yes, now there is some real 21st American diplomacy.
In response to his caterwauling 50,000 Britons have pledged to take to the streets tomorrow, accompanied by a giant balloon which portrays Donald Trump as a diapered baby in the midst of throwing a tantrum.
It is hard to argue their point. Not to mention highly tempting to start a, "GoFundMe," account so we can get that damn balloon over here in time for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
A nice thought, but let's get back to that whole captive to Moscow thing. On the heels of this craziness The Big Orange Guy is set for a one on one sit down in Helsinki Monday with his pal/idol/blackmailer, Vladimir Putin. God only knows what form of kowtowing El Don will be shamelessly performing in Finland that day. Whatever shape it takes we can be assured it will drive the wedge begun by him even deeper between America and the people we've called friends for nearly a century.
Well, you do what you have to when dealing with an ex Russian spymaster who has the goods on you.
Indeed, we can say many things about Vladimir Putin, but you have to acknowledged he has accomplished what Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and even Herr Hitler couldn't--he has split western Europe and the U.S. farther apart than they've been since about 1900.
And all of it is thanks to Donald John Trump and his prior criminal enterprises involving Putin's oligarch buddies.
Hey, as the Trumpster himself put it the other day, "Putin may be the easiest (meeting) of them all. Who would think?"
Actually, Don, given what has transpired the last couple of years, that would be just about every last one of us.
Ladies and gentlemen, the bar, for obvious reasons, is now open.
