Well, this is some good news...

The President of the United States has arrived in Europe and I am not sitting up scared to death about some horror that is going to occur because of the absolute classlessness and stupidity of a mentally ill malignant narcissist as I was for four years. In addition, I also don’t have to be concerned that the US is going to withdraw from an important international agreement due to some imperial whim.

It was basically 4 years of lining the pockets of fat cats. The freedom to pollute is worth billions.

never heard the Treasury referred to as a swamp, but that was indeed what he was draining. It was basically a free for all of grifting to anyone who took the knee and kissed the ring on their way to the trough.

What if some European leader came to the U.S. and shoved Chuck Schumer or Mitch McConnell? That's about the equivalent of Chump's disgraceful display.

Also there was the time that Chump walked IN FRONT of Queen Elizabeth. No one ever does that! The proper thing would have been to offer his arm and walk beside the Queen at her pace. If he can't do that, then he should have walked BEHIND her, never in front of her.

What a disgraceful pig he is, such an embarrassment to the USA.

He wasn't even trying to avoid walking straight into her. Thankfully, Queen Elizabeth was very alert, so she avoided injury.

How comforting it is to have some normalcy again along with the knowledge that the country won't be embarrassed on the world stage.
