    He really does think the EU is a country. I’m not sure my opinion of Americans will ever recover from them having voted in this absolute moron.

      America was killed, by Americans, in a democratic election. And so many are still fondling the corpse, writhing with carrion bugs, and pretending it’s still alive.

      Oh…

      I can guaran-fucking-tee you my opinion of so-called “Americans” will never recover…

      I’m more concerned if the country is ever able to recover.

      FUCK!! IT’S ONLY BEEN A COUPLE MONTHS!!

      Much worse is yet to be realized.

      And, yes, I’m a suitably embarrassed US’ian.

      🙄 🤦‍♀️

      Twice. They did it twice.

      You can almost (but not quite) forgive the first time. You could -maybe- write it off as an experiment, or that they were giving the ‘real politicians’ a scare to get them back in line. However that’s a lot of ‘almost’ and ‘maybe’.

      But the second time, that’s fucking unforgivable.

        I didn’t vote for him, but I expected his first term to be appoiting halfway competent people to run everything so he could fuck around and take the credit. I doubt I was alone.

        As a resident of a Continental Country that is not the US, we’ve pretty much always seen Europe as a single, monolithic thing. It’s hard for us to grasp how something like France, which is just slightly bigger than Minas Gerais, 4th largest state of Brazil, is a completely separate thing from the rest.

        I was going to say this. Trump thinks the EU already is what I wish it will become.

        Maybe his efforts will push us further into that direction though?

          One of the good things to come from this is an end to the hegemony of the US. Now I have to hope the rest of the world will choose to be better as a result of it.

        It’s an economic zone made up of smaller countries, and functionality structured in a completely different way the US is regarding the fed vs the states. That fact the US president is referring to a continent as a country is unbelievably embarrassing.
