A friend sent me a doctored tape of Macron speaking French in the Oval Office, with insulting subscripts in a phony English "translation" and Trump sitting there, grinning and befuddled. I responded to BR saying:
"That’s funny – but not funny. Macron told him what Volodymyr Zelenskyy and others have, that Europe’s support is not a loan to Ukraine nor needs be re-paid, but Trump repeats his falsehood again and again. I am more emotional about these goings-on than I have ever been. Usually, I am analytic and put on a mask of rationality, but now I am deeply anxious and depressed.
"It’s all beyond belief, beyond acceptance that men will put their malign intent so openly on display. Where have gone pride and at least a pose of statesman-ness? Godfather as President, something off Francis Ford Coppola’s cutting room floor, surrounded by Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. Musk sophomorically waving a chain-saw about, dominating the President and Cabinet, not removing his hat in the White House, showing no deference to the office of President of the United States; arrogant 20-somethngs firing professional public servants who don’t work for them; Vance and Trump berating an invited guest and on television, no less; Trump parroting through-the-looking-glass claims of a Russian war criminal and child kidnapper; Trump calling out enemies in Congress by name, taunting Sen. Warren as “Pocahontas”; talking of “getting” Greenland and "taking" ownership of Gaza; insulting and castigating Canada, our most reliable neighbor and friend. It goes on and on. WTF?!?
