Even by this blowhards YUGE standards, its been an exceptionally bad and destructive week of terrifying our allies and legitimizing our enemies.

Im often on the receiving end of the Trumpentariats criticisms of Never Trump conservatives. Dont I get it? Dont I love how Trump is achieving the impossible, and soaring to heights to which no other president could aspire? Havent I gotten over the election yet? When, oh when, will I finally MAGA? I received an email Tuesday from a Trump fan asking why for once I couldnt congratulate Donald Trump for his work with North Korea.
Leaving aside my usual critiques of Trump, which are, as you may have noticed, colorful, varied, and pointed, lets give the president a fair assessment of his weeks activities, and thanks and credit where thanks and credit are due.
Of course, we start when Trump fled the humid confines of Washington, D.C., jetting to Quebec to blow up the G7 summit and take a massive political and rhetorical dump on some of our longest-standing and closest allies. But Im playing nice, so thank you, Mr. President, for adopting 19th-century trade policies that combine both raging economic illiteracy and inevitably adverse outcomes for America. Well done.
Thank you, because nothing says Presidential Stature like your juvenile dick-waving and insults attacking the heads of state of the G7 nations. Thanks are also in order for deploying your clown-car motorcade of loudmouth, shock-jock aides to make the damage worse.
Great work taking direction from the Home Office in Moscow; you spent more time at the G7 summit doing Vladimir Putins bidding than you did strengthening the ties between the United States and our closest allies.
Even so, Im supposed to thank the president, right? Well, thank you, Donald. You sent a message to our allies in Asia and beyond that youre willing to compromise their security and ours for an inconsequential photo-op with a hopped-up fatboy dictator who looks like Pyongyang already has a Krispy Kreme and a Popeyes, and hes the only one allowed to eat in them.

Drumpf seems to be getting trashed over this debacle. Rightfully so. No one is buying the propaganda.

(9,353 posts)4. Just need to share the response I received from a trump supporter
Sent him this opinion piece this morning. Just got a response.
He stated that Wilson is not a real republican - he comes from the McCain wing.
I think we have a really big problem. This guy would probably cheer if the brown shirts would come marching down his street.
