"'He Has Made Us A Laughingstock': Diplomats Stunned By Trump's Feud With Denmark"

sigh
   This is an actual thing about the actual Trump: he's a national--and international--embarrassment.
I barely even notice this stuff anymore. It's humiliating...but it doesn't move the needle much, because we've already basically hit rock-bottom in that respect. We can't really look all that much more ridiculous than we already look.
   There's a kind of microcosm of the Trump administration here: he has a really nutty--but not entirely crazy--idea (buy Greenland). Kinda embarrassing...but not actually terrible. In a way. I guess. The left loses its shit, as if the idea were somehow beyond the pale, rather than merely nutty. Trump ups the ante by being a loony jackass and starting a feud with Denmark because they--perfectly reasonably and entirely predictably--turn him down. Rudely...but...eh...it was kind of a rude suggestion.
   The only thing missing, really, is some sort of contrived accusations of racism from the left.
   And a porn star.
