Our allies around the world aren’t afraid of us — they’re disgusted. Thanks to Trump’s “diplomacy,” they see a nation that’s lost its mind. In just six months, we’ve gone from “leaders of the free world” to pariahs “flirting with fascism.”

Alex Jones is a total fucking asshole and inhuman monster. The sooner he rids the world of his evil, maniacal presence, the better.

Lying and fantasy matters. The rest of the world lives in reality, and they recognize what Donnie says and does as unworkable, useless, or worse.

The lying and fantasy works for Donnie inside America because the media normalizes it and 30+% of the country laps up up I critically.

But outside America, all they see is an idiot fantasizing and insisting he's correct, making ludicrous demands and claims, lying about everything, and stomping his feet when they font agree or now down to him.

Seriously, imagine hearing Donnie without the benefit of decades of domestic propaganda. He's just not someone anyone would want to work with. How fo you negotiate with someone like that? How fo you trust he'll honor any deal? You can't. Which is why the rest of the world is showing little to no patience with him.
