I don’t know what I’m more embarrassed by. The fact that so many Americans welcome an autocrat with open arms or the fact that the autocrat they welcomed a weak crybaby like Trump.

How long until Trump says the Constitution isn’t constitutional and so he doesn’t need to uphold and defend it?

How weak is it to constantly moan about how the whole world is so unfair to the US? Apparently the US enters all treaty negotiations like a complete rube and the other signatories fool us into accepting unfavorable terms.

For anyone:

Don’t google that at work or anywhere near anyone else. Piper Perri is an adult film actress.

I’ve got enough reasons not to care for any of these three ambassadors, but I do need to keep in mind that Trump spews so much baloney that I can’t automatically react by blaming these three.

Yeah really. As a commenter in British TV said, “he’s just naming people he likes from seeing on the telly”. Gibson does an appearance featuring his usual oddball rantings, someone shows it to Donald and, BAM! “you’re my ambassador to Hollywood”.

And it’s just _ **so** _ in character of DJT to NOT tell them first or ask if they’re interested.

He’s sending not one, not two, but _three_ ambassadors to a place that isn’t even a foreign country.

Yeah, I’d say he’s confused.
