Donald Trump has alienated all U.S. allies...

"Sold us out," is the way "Miles Taylor, who during Trump’s first term served as Deputy Chief of Staff in the Department of Homeland Security and famously revealed the existence of a resistance group within the administration," explained how Donald Trump is "abandoning our friends," around the world. On AlterNet, Taylor is very specific in citing incidents in South Korea, switching to the Pacific and the dilemma of two aircraft carriers, then over to Europe, with, perhaps, the worst of the three, where Satellite imagery makes it clear...

"Russia is building a network of secret drone bases within striking distance of NATO, with storage for a thousand attack drones at a single site."

To start, it would appear that Dufus Rump's love affair with Kim Jong Un has been rekindled, but if Trump thinks Vladimir Putin is coming to the party, he needs to think again. Taylor reports a Russian drone, loaded with explosives, was found at the Leipzig airport. The White House maniac has been trying to dump NATO for some time now with this being our current position...

"Western planners are quietly admitting they have no real plan for NATO’s nightmare scenario, a coordinated Russian and Chinese strike on two fronts, at the very moment Trump has hollowed out the alliance that exists to prevent such a surprise attack.”

I have been writing about the fact that both China's Xi and Russia's Putin must be keeping

Xi - Trump -Putin

their eye on the fact that Donald Trump is exhausting the U.S. munitions supply on the Iran War, and now both are probably completely giddy that Trump is shunning the very allies that could help him defend the U.S. against aggression. You have to wonder what they are waiting on. Taylor says Trump is pissed at South Korea because they wouldn't support him in the Iran War, calling Kim and North Korea "unthreatening and respectful."

Then, the author reminds Trump of the possibility during his first term that North Korea might launch a nuclear attack on the continental United States because Kim Jong Un was so "respectful." In the old days under rational and levelheaded presidents, the U.S. could take out North Korea in a heart beat. Today, under Donald Trump, I wouldn't bet on the outcome. At any rate, Kim could probably woo the Oval Office lunatic into laying down our arms so Trump could play dictator with his North Korean counterpart.

Just to show you how unsure Donald Trump is of himself and his administration, the Pentagon, under the direction of, perhaps, Dufus' top moron, Pete Hegseth, sent all U.S. allies a questionnaire asking whether these countries are adhering to President Donald Trump’s vision for the transatlantic alliance. In an Al Jazeera exclusive...

"The questionnaire asks pointedly whether the allies have been 'publicly supportive of US foreign policy priorities.'”

They don't just have to support us, they also have to call all their friends and neighbors and tell them about the fact that they are supporting the U.S. Whose imbecilic idea was it to embark on a PR program right in the middle of a war that most of America's allies oppose?

GOP congressman Don Bacon: Pete Hegseth "Stupid as Hell"

And there is yet more stupidity, compliments of Hegseth...

"Another bullet point poses the query, “Has the country shown alignment with the US approach to [be] ‘strong, clear, and quiet?'” a reference to a phrase used by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in his address at the Shangri-La Dialogue in May." 

And just last week, China's Xi, who is a major Iranian trading partner, flat rejected Trump’s ‘economic D-Day’ threat where he vowed “tremendous economic consequences” against countries that continue to do business with Tehran. There's more...

Tehran also condemned the US president’s economic threat, with the Iranian Foreign Ministry warning that those who order or implement the levies “are liable to prosecution and punishment.” 

Tehran called the threat the "other side of the coin of war." And CNN analysts commented...

Several analysts told CNN they were skeptical that Trump’s claims would have the desired impact on an Iranian regime that has withstood oppressive economic sanctions from major world powers.

Let's take a quick look at the countries Donald Trump has alienated, and why...

• Canada over tariffs -
  
  
  
• France over the Iran War - 
• Italy over Iran War - 
• Germany over foreign policy - 
• Denmark over Trump Greenland threats - 
• So. Korea over removal military support -
• Japan over Trump's big mouth -
• Australia over tariffs -

When you look at the above list, it is obvious the United States has nowhere to turn for help in a state of emergency. Except to Trump's authoritarian friends whose assistance always comes with a catch. There is no free lunch, as the saying goes, and you can bet that Kim, Putin, Erdogan, Xi and all of Dufus Rump's other dictatorial cronies would extract every drop of blood available from the White House maniac before they finally cut him loose. He's an idiot, they know it, the world knows it, and that is the problem.

 

 

Have democrats lost their edge? Not surprised!

A new CNN poll shows that the earlier held 18-point spread the Dems held for November is down to just 3. But then the results are qualified with the fact that the results follow closely with Trump's favorability, and the new average for Democrats is seven, not three on a generic ballot.

"The generic ballot is a poll question that asks voters whether they’ll vote for Democrats or Republicans for Congress, and historically it’s been a decent predictor of the House popular vote."     The NY Times

About 45% of the voting public feel enthusiastic about voting in November' the general turnout in midterm elections is 40%. The earlier figure is around the same for both Democrats and Republicans. A big consideration right now is Donald Trump's meeting with Kim Jong un. If it goes well--and we have to hope it does regardless---then we can expect T-rump's favorability to rise even more. To say the least, November will be interesting.

Can Donald Trump outspeak Kim Jong Un?

Who's craziest, him or me?

When you put two lunatics together, the best one can expect is more lunacy. And that is exactly what we have gotten from Donald Trump since he started on his nefarious trek to the White House. Can't remember a day during and after the 2016 election that something stupid hasn't come from the mouths of Donald John, his handlers or his supporters. It was a perpetual cacophony of mindless jabbering that, in most cases, had no substance whatever. But those poor souls out there ate it up and pushed the man with a dunce cap on right into the Oval Office. It has been hell ever since.

Kim Jong Un, on the other hand, is a lunatic that is much more dangerous than a Donald Trump. At least Donald John has some relatively sane people around him, and then, of course, there are the Democrats, that can rein him in if he really gets dangerous. All of North Korea is scared shitless of Kim, and by the time anyone stepped in to stop the maniac, he could have sent deadly missiles all around the world. This is all prompted by a headline today in the Washington Post: "North Korea says it tested rocket engine ‘of historic significance.’"

That's it, those two words, "historic significance" that made me wonder which of our two village idiots could win the battle of superlatives. So I researched the transcendent comments of each man and this is what I came up with...

• DT: “I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.”
• KJU: "Want to know what’s more destructive than a nuclear bomb? Words."
• DT: “I’m really rich! I’ll show you that in a second. And by the way: I’m not even saying that in a brag.”
• KJU: "The days are gone forever when our enemies could blackmail us with nuclear bombs."
• DT: “I’m the most militaristic person ever.”
• KJU: "Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest."
• DT: “I will build a great wall . . . and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me.”
• KJU: "Past records of inter-Korean relations show that confrontation between fellow countrymen leads to nothing but war."
• DT: “I would use the greatest minds. I know the best negotiators. I’m in New York – I know the good ones, the bad ones. I always say: ‘I know the ones people think are good.’ I know people you’ve never heard of that are better than all of them.”
• KJU: The revolution is carried out by means of one's thought.

And I couldn't resist one more Donald Trump classic...

“If you really love this country you have a very, very hard time convincing people that what you’re doing is right and that you’re really smart. And, like, a lot of us are really smart. I’m really smart – I went to the Wharton School of Finance.”

Let's analyze what you've see above. First, the Donald Trump comments are ludicrous and asinine, something you might expect from some unhinged college senior running for class president. Second, Kim Jong Un, on the contrary, should scare the hell out of any American, especially with Donald John in the White House. If anyone could start World War III, it would be these two nutcases.  

Peace!
