One thing struck me in tsf UN address.

I know it was all pretty cringy.

But when he was rambling on and on about how he was the savior of immigrants and refugees he seemed to hit a rut of sorts. He had been yammering about crossing jungles and deserts and places where people could not breathe and how many immigrants would die. And then the rut. I will paraphrase:

'....and many of the women are raped. These women are repeatedly raped. They are raped in the most horrible way of being raped bloody horribly raped again and again. Did I mention that they were raped?'

Perhaps I just heard what wrong.

And refugees? He sends them back to be

"These women are repeatedly raped. They are raped in the most horrible way of being raped bloody horribly raped again and again. Did I mention that they were raped?"

Only a man who rapes women would say this.

to ruin our country -- just made up crap, as usual. Especially the bit about the Biden admin losing 300,000 children -- "little children" (he said with a baby-talk tone). He's really hung up on that 300,000 number.

What in the world must other countries think of us?

not very favorably. We will be more isolated than we ever had imagined. Unless we stand up to him. This is our country.

Jonathon Capehart wondered why any ambassador would come to see such rot. He mused that they might think of trump as a comedy act.
