I know he knows exactly what he is doing. But he mistakenly believes he has more backing that he does. He went to Europe and gave that embarrassing speech.. of which he believed he received backing from all of them, for he would not have purposely made a fool of himself. He thought they’d agree with his tirade against republicans back in the US.. or he would not have jumped that reporter. He believed it made him superior to “embarrass” that reporter. Instead, he was the embarrassment. That is what he does not see.
You and I see him as embarrassing, but many, many tens-of-millions do back him. Why else would Europe allow this invasion to happen, and encourage/welcome it, if the socialist leadership and followers weren’t in on the same agenda? He’s playing to a world-wide socialist audience, not to just America. He could give a rat’s rearend what America thinks, and rightly so, for he’s effectively neutered us by winning a 2nd term and going for 7yrs unopposed by the GOPe/RINOs in Congress. Talk about “embarrassment”... no one takes us seriously anymore. Our allies fear us, and our enemies laugh at us.
