QOTD: "This Know-Nothing Numbskull"

 

The Guardian's Simon Tisdall writes today about the unstable and blundering Malignant Fascist's weak position as he heads to meet with China's President Xi, who holds some powerful "cards" as the MF would say:

"Summit bottom line: will a weakened, outmanoeuvred Trump cut back US support for Taipei in return for Xi’s help with Iran and favourable deals on, say, rare-earth minerals and agricultural imports? Serious questions similarly surround the depth of Trump’s commitment to South Korea and Japan – Beijing-Tokyo tensions are running hot at present, partly because of Taiwan; and his ability to persuade China to rein in North Korea, a hostile, bullish rogue state that, unlike Iran, really does possess nuclear weapons.

In other words, will Trump claim another fraudulent triumph on the world stage in Beijing while selling out US allies, kowtowing, once again, to an anti-democratic, anti-western dictator, and recklessly demolishing decades of painstaking diplomacy that, until now, has prevented a war in the Pacific over Taiwan? This week, largely due to wrecker Trump, the writing is on the wall for the future of the US as number one global superpower. With all his blundering, this know-nothing numbskull has put China in the driving seat." (our emphasis)

His entire article is a must read to understand just how badly the MF's unhinged actions have damaged us on the international stage, alienating allies and emboldening adversaries.
