European government officials and diplomats mock and criticize President Donald Trump’s policy and rhetoric behind his back, BuzzFeed reported on Wednesday.
One unnamed European official told BuzzFeed that a group of diplomats plays a word game mocking Trump’s repetitive rhetoric when he speaks in public: “Everything is ‘great,’ ‘very, very great,’ ‘amazing.'”
Foreign mockery appeared to be a particularly sore point for Trump during the 2016 campaign, when he complained the U.S. had become “the laughingstock of the world.”
As recently as June, Trump said he didn’t “want other countries and other leaders to laugh at us anymore.”
An unnamed diplomat told BuzzFeed that Trump “has no historical view” and “seems to think the world started when he took office.”
Another unnamed European diplomat said Trump “is obsessed with Obama.”
“It’s his only real position,” the diplomat said. “He will ask: ‘Did Obama approve this?’ And if the answer is affirmative, he will say: ‘We don’t.’ He won’t even want to listen to the arguments or have a debate.”
Mon Dieu! Angela and Emmanuel might feel the tiny-fingered wrath! They’re quaking in their cosmopolitan, elitist shoes. It’s time for some MAGA freedom fries!
And of course these leaders all speak better English than moron. His second language is Pig Latin. Maybe.
Trump deserves every bit of this mockery. My only issue with it is that is should be public. He’s humiliated the US; let him share in that humiliation.
None of this is surprising. What is most telling for me is the description of his obsession with Obama. “Trump will ask if Obama approved something. If we say yes, he immediately says he’s against it and then doesn’t listen to any explanations or reasons.” A person simply can’t be any less mature or more vengeful than Trump.
These are the most polite ways they describe trump. I bet even more frequently they use descriptions more closely resembling the ones we say here.
I hope his next Trumpertantrum does not involve nukes.
