COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
‘Donald Trump has given a wild interview to Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business, declaring, “Almost all countries in this world take tremendous advantage of the United States, it’s unbelievable!”
‘The president claimed Japan would watch a Third World War “at home on a Sony TV” rather than come to America’s aid (ahead of a trip there for the G20 summit), attacked Twitter, accused retired FBI special counsel Robert Mueller of deleting incriminating Justice Department text messages and said Iran “does not have smart leadership” and is “going down the tubes”.’
I do think all of his comments are becoming more and more chaotic.
He seems to be falling apart inside.
I’m not sure from what - fear of impeachment? realization that his noisy threats are being ignored and he’s looking idiotic? growing recognition of his own lack of ability?- but the rambling nature of his words, laced with so much invective and name-calling and so many threats is telling us something.
He insults friend and foe alike, and I’m sure with each passing week, he’s causing all kinds of re-thinks in high places about future relations with America.
This clearly is a man who has soared far above his level of competence.
America has all kinds of serious problems, but he is able to deal with none of them. If anything, he creates new ones.
He reduces the policy of his country, whose flag he loves to be photographed hugging as though it were a woman’s perfumed negligee, in the eyes of the world to a set of vicious schoolboy pranks or skits.
The Legions of Imperial Rome led by Monty Python’s John Cleese, or perhaps Moe of the Three Stooges, in a dark blue business suit with a “power tie.”
