Watch this clip!!! Two minutes and 12-seconds of gut-wrenching shame. This is scathing.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Political Editor, Chris Uhlmann, providing one of the most brutal assessments of Trump at the G-20, or as he puts it now, the G-19.

I found it on Driftglass yesterday and was just stunned by it.

If you don't get a big reaction, that's probably why. It went viral two days ago.

Which is great because all the others were embedded in tweets, and I have no clue how to link directly to them.

Where Putin got the "elbow fondle" but not the shoulder-yank.

There was also a "low backslap" that could have been an attempt at an ass grab that was retracted last moment.

Allow us to move there, if we have some funding? Just not oligarch funds.

Will they consider us regular Americans also victims of the Russian alliance and give us the right to flee? I'm not just talking about special skill sets, I'm talking about civil rights issues and we're being held hostage, and we havent even read the ransom note yet.

Just something to consider real western countries. Do all of us have to go down on this ship? Just the rich have multiple homes, in multiple lands to hide. Some of the worst of the worst. It's not their kids who would protect you, it's ours and we're stuck.

Alot of Americans citizens don't have a passport. That's because most people live, work, and die within 20miles of where they were born. The seats for space shuttles are already been bought as part of estates. Where do you run, how do you get there. The false sense of security is beyond belief.

Equally scathing and eloquant criticisms have been appearing in this Rest Of The World place; they haven't been as widely reported but are as biting and shocked. After Trump, America is going to be a vastly different place but the comtempt and dislike will always be there.
Ask the UK - diplomatically, we are not too popular with countries we used to rule, even when most of the population wasn't even born when the British Empire ruled the waves. This ridiculous Brexit nonsense is one futile (subconscious) way of Making Britain Great Again.
