    The US spent decades telling Europe to trust the transatlantic relationship, then somehow managed to make a literal cable across the Arctic look like the more reliable connection. That’s an impressive achievement in diplomacy: when your allies start routing around you like a network failure.

        Calling Trump “senile” downplays the traitorous duplicity.

        At this point, he’s done so much shit that “ineptitude” no longer cuts it as a plausible explanation. Occam’s razor says he’s trying to destroy the US on purpose.

          I would argue it says he’s trying to increase his own wealth at any cost. Destroying the US is a byproduct of this behavior, not the intention.
