"So, how soon can you make it here to our shithole?"

I am in the Sates for a few more days, and have been requested for a meeting in Brussels next week. My Belgian colleague emailed me in English asking when I could meet him in his shithole country?

No, obviously he didn't mean it seriously, but it was a stark reminder that Trump's buffoonery is closely watched by the rest of the world. For the first half of 2017, my Swiss colleagues used to greet me with "America First!" when I got there, knowing it was a bad joke they could rib me with. Then we all had a good laugh over it. No one is laughing any longer down there.

ALL of Trump's antics are watched, recorded, and remembered by friend and foe alike.

Of course, the longer this keeps up, the list of our friends will get shorter and the list of foes will get longer.

needs to read this. What a disgrace. The office of president will never be the same. Not the level of respect once earned, or shown. tRump and his gang have cheapened EVERYTHING they came into contact with. EVERYTHING. The comments made are amusing, but sad to see how far we have fallen in one short year.

It will take us a long time to climb out of it, too.

(because I live in NC) and tell them that because of their actions in supporting President Shithole, I will do my very
best to see any/all of them flushed down the toilet in the coming election(s). If they support that Shithole, then they
belong where shit goes and that is down the toilet to the sewer.

For every NC voter that feels as you do, but says nothing, that's one less voice they will hear letting them know that they are marching down the wrong path.
