I could never understand why people were so willing to go along with and appease monsters like Hitler and Stalin, but I at least comforted myself with the safe knowledge that it would never happen again. We know too much now to be taken in (or give in to) by populists, demagogues and monsters.
And then the last couple of years happened.
Its amazing really isnt it? I keep wondering why people dont just call him out on his gooseberry fool or stand up to him. Hes an absolute moron who has no place in politics full stop, nevermind being the strawberry floating President, but here we are with state visits, Tea with the Queen, and bending over backwards to appease him no matter how much he insults his host country. I really do feel sometimes like ive gone crazy when i read this gooseberry fool. Like you just strawberry floating KNOW the Queen thinks this guy is a disgusting piece of trash so why not send a subtle strawberry float you to him be feigning illness or something and cancelling? But no, hell get the red carpet treatment which only allows his ego to swell even more and makes sure even more world leaders toady to him
I can see why Britain is doing it. We’ve strawberry floated up so badly that we are desperate to be friends with the leader of a rich and powerful nation. It’s utterly disgusting (and could be avoided if Brexit was cancelled) but I can see why.
It’s beyond me why other nations put up with his gooseberry fool. Mostly fear I guess.
It is going to be fascinating in 10 or 20 years time to see how this era is looked back upon and to read the tell all books on the Trump Presidency. It’s just horrible having to live through it.
