Mark your calendars. May 25, 2017 is the day the US destroyed its relations with its European allies

1. Trump decides a dedication ceremony for the 9-11 memorial at NATO headquarters is the perfect time to lecture and shake down fellow NATO members for more money. Because he's got such a history of paying his bills in full.

2. Trump is caught on camera literally shoving fellow NATO members around.

3. Der Speigel quotes Trump as saying "The Germans are evil, very evil" for.....selling cars.

This isn't the end of our alliance with Germany, over one asshole acting like an asshole.

They know he's an asshole, and they're going to wait him out. He won't be around that long.

or post-coup - did NOT do this.

I heard things would get worse before they got better - check. I heard that the scope and depth of this coup would peoples' blow minds - check.

Keep breathing, is all I know to say here. In through the nose, out through the mouth.

Calls those responsible for the Manchester attack "losers" but the German people are "evil." JC, I cannot stand the embarrassment.

They knew who he was to begin with. It's his voters who ignored the warnings.

This is a temporary situation.
