He lies to his own country but now he's lying on the world stage. Does he think we buy it? He's lying about events we all saw unfolding ourselves! We're not stupid, we don't suckle on the Fox teat like his ignorant cult followers. It's bizarre and extraordinary that this is happening. This is no way to run a country, this is no way to interact with the rest of the world. You chose this demented crook to represent you? WTF
It doesn't matter anymore. We've already seen that no one significant is going to call him out on it. some of the EU leaders should stand up and start calling out EVERY single bit of bullshit and misinformation Trump says and people in the EU should be vigilant against their bullshit spilling over to here.
I fucking wish. And the media doesn't call him out, instead try to interpret the bullshit, try to make something coherent out of the rambling nonsense. I listen to a BBC news podcast and you can hear the incredulity in their voices as they try to sugar coat and give the benefit of the doubt to this lunatic's ravings. They clearly know but it's like they see calling out his lies for what they are as some kind of line they dare not cross. Gotta appear balanced even if one side of that equation is disconnected from reality. It's beyond infuriating.
It's almost like they feel they have to take a "balanced" view as to not upset the right wingers in their own country. Sorry, but some things you just cannot condone as a media company and you should take a stance on it. How can you not condemn him saying that Ukraine started this shit, like wtf?
Also, some of the bullshit is already leaking over unfortunately... The party here in NL announced today that they're not renewing any foreign aid packages because of the US being such a good example to follow... They're more insignificant amounts but still, stopping aid for women's right, gender equality, education, sport , culture and arts and most importantly, for sustainable climate solutions? Such bullshit. And it's not like this money will then go to the citizens here or something, they're just cutting it to save money basically.
