The United States, after being the only superpower in the world for almost 30 years, is quickly losing influence around the world. All because Donald Trump is a stupid dickhead trying to impress stupid dickheads in the United States.
Trump attended a NATO meeting last month and refused to endorse the core tenet of the organization: the pledge that if one member state is attacked, all member states will come to its defense.
Trump has insulted Germany, our ally for over 70 years, over and over again. As a result, Chancellor Angel Merkel recently said that it's time for Europe to takes its fate into its own hands -- a clear rejection of Trump and the United States.
Trump has insulted the French, our ally since, well, before we were even a country, by pulling out of the Paris climate treaty and claiming that he was elected to represent Pittsburgh, not Paris. Yes, we know they both start with P, but alliteration won't help Trump: the citizens of Pittsburgh voted for Hillary Clinton by a landslide of 75%.
Trump's rejection of the climate accord has the effect of handing over our dominance in world affairs to the Chinese.
Trump has insulted the South Koreans by rushing to install a missile defense system before the newly elected president, Moon Jae-in, was in office. Moon has now suspended the installation of the missile system, and is talking about doing an environmental review to delay it even further.
Trump thinks he's protecting South Korea (and the American troops stationed there) from North Korean missile attacks, but all Trump is doing is driving South Korea into the arms of China.
Trump has insulted England, again and again. Most recently it was in the person of Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, whom Trump insulted in his typical mendacious fashion after seven Londoners were murdered by terrorists.
The UK is having an election tomorrow, and Theresa May, the conservative pro-Brexit prime minister, was a shoo-in just a month ago. But now the polls are neck-and-neck, in part because May is perceived as a Trump puppet who will never criticize the boorish American.
The United States used to be the most reliable and stable country in the world. Now we're run by a childish nutjob who makes Kim Jong-un look like an elder statesman.
Don't believe me? Just watch Trump's Twitter feed, where he undermines himself and his own administration's agenda every time he lays his fat fingers on his phone.
And that statement must be true because it used alliteration three times instead of just two!
