JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: FURTHER THOUGHTS ON TRUMP'S UN SPEECH AND ON TRUMP'S GROVELLING TO THE NEOCONS - HERE IS A MAN OF NO PRIDE AND NO SHAME - ONLY BOASTING AND ARROGANCE AND UNFIT FOR HIS OFFICE



COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY ROBERT PARRY IN CONSORTIUM NEWS


TRUMP FALLS IN LINE WITH INTERVENTIONISM 

"Falls in line" is almost too tepid a description.

"Grovels" is closer to the mark.

Trump is a stunning disappointment along virtually every policy line.

Hillary Clinton in drag.

His UN speech was the most inappropriate speech likely in the entire history of the organization.

Bristling with threats and dishonesty and not a word of statesmanship.

I almost could not believe my eyes when I read what he said in an organization whose entire purpose is supposed to be about peace.

Every knowledgeable official from the chief UN expert on nuclear weapons to the President of France has said, in effect, Trump is lying about Iran.

Why would he do that?

Because he is completely under the influence of Washington's Neocons and the war criminal, Netanyahu, something I doubt any Trump voter would have expected.

Instead of courageous new initiatives in the world from a maverick Washington-outsider, we have just one more typical Washington coward shouting threats at less powerful states who have done nothing.

And at a time of economic peril, we have a man who has done nothing worth doing to improve things. Instead, almost his every measure limits economic policies and threatens economic catastrophe, from imposing sanctions on Russian-European trade to threatening major steps against China.

If the man had any pride, he'd resign with an apology to the American people, but he doesn't have any genuine pride, no one who grovels, as he does, has any pride.

He has only boastful bellowing, unwarranted arrogance, and no sense of shame in having proved such an utter failure.
