Massive Disrespect

[KentuckyWoman]

Putin gets met at the airport with the red carpet and cheering. Zelensky gets to come in through the back door. At least the President bothered to come 2 steps outside. That alone says everything about where Trump stands. The rest is just blather.

In the meantime, Zelensky makes one call and Europe's leaders pull together within hours. America is now the B player on the world stage.

1. Trump is an embarrassment to the free world.

[lonely bird]

25. Trumpis an embarassment

To humanity, civilization and life itself.

[yorkster]

2. And Trump's comments about Biden were

infuriating. Of course, hand-picked press corps says nothing.

[popsdenver]

27. The press corps

wouldn't have said anything anyway.........if they said something/anything critical of Trump, the Republican Oligarch owners of the media they represent, would fire them immediately..........and ALL journalists/reporters of ALL the Republican owned/operated media in the U.S. damn well know that fact!!!!!

[yorkster]

28. Well, we all know that but how about

some hint of spine or just an occasional question that's not an obvious gift...

[popsdenver]

29. The reporters/journalists

have fought their entire careers to get to where they are, and will do absolutely nothing to jeopardize their careers at this point.....

That is painfully obvious this past decade........Not only do their reporters/journalists, get hammered, but so do their Republican owner/operators.

[yorkster]

30. You are no doubt correct, but hope springs eternal...

[bronxiteforever]

3. Kick. Europe leads the free world and no longer

the US.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Been moving that direction since Bush Jr...

We regained some status under Pres Obama and Biden, but trump has destroyed our credibility among Western democracies.

Under trump, the USA cannot be trusted.

[slightlv]

15. This, yes, but...

Under trump, the USA cannot be trusted.

I fear it's beyond that. The "American Voters" returned this racist, rapist to the highest office in the land. They lived through him once and thought, "man, he's the greatest" and put him back into office (or so they would have us believe; frankly, I think the cheating was in-your-face obvious). Because of this, I don't think there's a country in the world who would trust us again. It's not just this criminal (p)resident... it's We the People they no longer trust.

[HubertHeaver]

19. We the people elected a crook in '68.

One would think we would have learned from that experience. By electing President Carter, it appeared we had. Then we followed up with a brain-dead grade B actor. After that, we just got worse.

[HarryM]

26. Gee

And I thought I was alone. It seems that an awful lot of folks think that Ronnie Rat Raygun was a good president. Not me, and apparently there are a few who agree. As far as going downhill, yeah, this is true. There even was one Dem, who shall go nameless, who was more like a RepubliCON lite. I cannot mention names, because it might go against policy here.

31. When they let Nixon off without a trial or judgement or punishment

just let him walk with a presidential pardon, that started the end of the rule of law in this country, IMNSHO. And while Reagan was the figurehead, Poppy Bush and Darth Cheney were the power behind him... along with Nancy and her astrologer.

[LeftInTX]

9. NATO/Europe is being treated like shit at the moment!

It's being treated like the Democratic Party.

[rampartd]

24. the usa no longer belongs inside "the free world."

[Turbineguy]

5. Hopefully Zelensky stroked Trump by

complimenting him on his good taste in whorehouse decor.

[Trueblue Texan]

6. I hope Zelensky comes armed with the same kompromat as Putin...

Would love to see the hissy tizzy fit that would send TSF into. Talk about shittn' himself!

[surfered]

7. Trump is a Dick.

[barbtries]

8. we deserve an F.

as a country. We the People need to change this. It's possible. Nothing is inevitable unless we choose not to assert our power.

[BaronChocula]

10. "America is now the B player on the world stage"

Well said.
I still think foreign leaders give diaper don way more respect than he deserves, but it seems like they're slowly learning the power in realigning and circumventing Amereicha.

[slightlv]

16. I wouldn't mistake "respect" for diplomatic protocol... I think it's more the latter than the former.

[BaronChocula]

18. I think some are quicker

to adjust to the destruction of norms of diplomatic protocol. Some are slower, it seems to me. But clearly, the bulk of "Western" leaders hate trump's guts.

21. Sadly.. Someone Untrustworthy Invested With Great Power Must Be Handled Thusly ..

[Mr.Bee]

11. I Can't Understand Why

We Must Do Everything This Felon Pedophile Rapist says.
He saw a squirrel so we must have troops in the streets!
Putin says 'you must get rid of mail-in voting, next thing trump's on it.
Getting rid of voting machines too. Oh, I guess we don't need elections anyway.
Resident for life in his golden palace!
I want to see a LAW that no elected official can create executive orders to destroy
these institutions that have been a part of American Life for decades!

[Marcuse]

12. Because the Congressional Republicans are complicit. We need numbers.

[TearsOfDaClowned]

22. Numbers, Organization, Seriousness of Purpose, Core Competence & Unity Around A Vital Coherent Agenda

[slightlv]

17. As far as I understood, there IS a law!

Executive orders are only executable on the Executive Office. They aren't supposed to be laws on level with the Congressional branch. But trump has erased the boundaries between the branches of government, as he's destroyed the government, itself. Now he screams and someone either cringes are races towards him to do his bidding. Without complacent congressional and judicial branches, he couldn't get away with what he's doing.

[Orrex]

13. That's because Trump would eat Putin's shit straight from the tap, and the whole world knows it

[3auld6phart]

14. 9The

United Staes is The pariah of the world,as long as you allow the clown prince of London of idiots to be your head honcho a total laughing shit show. Gutless loving Pedos pukes and a chicken shit media just live with it and try not foist onto t rest of it onto us we have our own share of idiots.

23. Sadly.. Being Right Doesn't Make Right.. Tangible Assets in Hand Do..
