I just don’t get how people can still be thinking he’s gonna turn presidential any second now… do they not see what we see?!? It’s not like he’s just someone who holds political views that I disagree with, it’s more like he has an entire worldview that is antithetical to all things I consider ethical and moral… is this the guy people REALLY think will be a reasonable, pragmatic man they can deal with?
I don’t understand any of it…
Newspapers I have no excuses for, but when it’s world leaders talking, I wonder if they aren’t just hoping that flattery might help sway the narcissistic sociopath who now holds so much power over them in his tiny hands…
This right here ^^^ you catch more flies with honey, etc. They can’t change who the US voted for, so make the best of a bad situation, plus its glaringly obvious he can be flattered into doing stupid shit.
I’ve wondered much the same; maybe these leaders were talking to Drumpf the way grown-ups sometimes talk to preschoolers, emphasizing the qualities you’d like the child to bring forth after they’ve thrown their paintbrushes on the ground: “I know you’re a good boy…”
It really is remarkable how the idea that the U.S. government should be required to follow its own laws about foreign military aid is so controversial and contentious.
