The worst and most stupid bit is this:
Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”
He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”
Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.
Why are they allies when spoken to and treated like this?
To him they are not allies his allies are on the Bored of Peace.
Believe it or not there was a time before Trump.
And some day not too long from now, there will be a time after Trump. He has an insane amount of health conditions, and he’s the least popular president in living memory right now.
The question is if that will actually make a difference for the allies. They have shown how unstable they are, and that they are one bad president away from causing chaos for the whole fucking world. I’d hope there will have to be fundamental changes before that sentiment changes.
Biden dropped a ball by appointing Merrick Garland to not look like he is weaponizing DOJ (and MAGA still said he did). Had he appointed someone who had teeth trump right now would be in prison.
Sure, but Trump isn’t the problem. It’s the 30 or so percent of your country that creates Trumps and the other 70% too cowardly to throw a punch.
Fear.
America has few allies, if any.
Ey, go ally yourself, pal, arite?
They’re US allies, and they know Trump is an old, increasingly demented man sinking his entire political party.
