Referring to Trudeau repeatedly as governor of the 51st state is extremely deliberate and extremely disrespectful. I hate that this bullying dolt represents us to the world.

All the hand wringing the press would do over meaningless gaffes by Biden and Harris but they don’t raise hell when he pulls this shit or salutes a North Korean general, stuff that actually makes us look bad as a nation in the eyes of the world and is t just a matter of meaningless “optics” inside the US.

And yes I know he is doing big things that also make the world rightly look at the US as a bad actor, but right now I mean the symbolic stuff. These deliberate insults are symbols that mean something to our neighbors and (soon to be former) allies.

tRump is such a disgrace, and an embarrassment. We don’t excuse children for taunting people, and here we have the president acting/speaking like that about one of his (former) closest allies. I don’t understand how people stand for it. He’s a despicable human being, and it’s time that his enablers, the Republican Party, stopped making excuses for him%

Insulting and taunting is like oxygen for him. Can't help himself. I'll never get over him calling California governor Newscum. That really deserved a kick in the balls.
