This is the new abnormal, monopoly played on a globe instead of a board. Donald Trump loves being a strongman and he’s going to push everybody else on the globe around. Except he’s not. The other countries of the world are laughing at us now and shaking their heads. Add Colombia to the roster of nations along with Canada, Panama, Greenland, Mexico and Denmark, who are doing an eyeroll when the name Trump or the words United States come up.
I could have never imagined that I'd see an American President worse than George W Bush. I'm so sick of Trump's behavior and to be honest I'm almost at the point that I'm missing W, of all people. Imagine that.🤔

They defied him so he’s going to show them and boy will they be sorry. And that’s not all that has gone wrong in international diplomacy this morning. You would think that would be plenty but you would be wrong. Now he’s mucking in the volatile Israel/Palestinian issue.
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi rejects Trump’s call to move Palestinians from Gaza to Jordan and Egypt, stating that the country’s stance against any displacement of Palestinians from Gaza remains “firm and unwavering.” https://t.co/A8iNaoLYSv

Nothing like inciting chaos worldwide.
The man is a lunatic. And if he manages to pull off this isolationism madness that he’s got going and impose tariffs on the entire planet, the consumer is going to suffer — and the plurality of them are too stupid to know it.
Again, and always, we may be two countries culturally but at the end of the day we’re still going to the same markes, breathing the same air, driving on the same roads and that’s the tragedy of this maniac getting back in office. The MAGAs think something wonderful is about to happen because they don’t know basic things like the Affordable Care Act is Obamacare and what the definition of a tariff is. But by the time they find out, it will be too late.
To Trump foreign diplomacy is all a lark and he’s going to rattle his sabers and huff and puff and threaten to blow everybody’s country down but all he’s doing is making himself look like the fool that he is.
Add Egypt, Jordan and Colombia to the list of people that, at some point, a Democratic president will make an amend to. And I wonder what our Ambassador to the United Nations, Elise Stefanik, is thinking about all this? I can’t wait to hear how she publicly defends this lunacy.

Friends, I am forced to self-promote and ask you for money. We had a bad year compared with 2023 and the end of the year has been catastrophic. Traffic died on November 5. We are a small blog and completely self-supporting by ad revenue, donations, and subscriptions. If you can afford a monthly subscription that would help us out. If you can make a small donation, likewise. Our only goal is to stay in business and give you the best content we can generate. You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you. Ursula
Better get your coffee fix now. Even if they back down the world countries now clearly see a spoiled toddler running America. I tried to argue with several people that Trump would throw the 7 million Palestinians under the bus, and one woman said she didnt trust Kamala…she said protests would change things. She’s a phucking nurse…an ‘educated’ person. FAFO. I’m sick of these ignorant mutherfuckers. Didn’t trust Kamala but trusted this PROVEN pathological liar. As much as I fear for the children…I can’t work up ANY sympathy for ANY asswipe that asked for hell to rain down on us. In fact, containing my rage is now a daily task. I’m glad I’m not still in the service. I don’t take oaths to countries run by nazis.
