Rick Wilson Lambasts Trump's 'Art-Of-The-Moron' Negotiating Style In Singapore


This week in Trump World was an epic exercise in Orwellian doublethink. As GOP strategist Rick Wilson points out it was a time to terrify our allies and legitimize our enemies. Not many people could figure out a way to portray Justin Trudeau as a thug and Kim Jong Un as a rock star, but Donald Trump found a way. Daily Beast:
Thank you, because nothing says Presidential Stature like your juvenile dick-waving and insults attacking the heads of state of the G7 nations. Thanks are also in order for deploying your clown-car motorcade of loudmouth, shock-jock aides to make the damage worse.
Great work taking direction from the Home Office in Moscow; you spent more time at the G7 summit doing Vladimir Putin’s bidding than you did strengthening the ties between the United States and our closest allies. [...]
Evidently, all the bad guys have to do is kiss your ample ass long enough and shower you with enough superficial praise and they can play you like the trifling intellectual lightweight you most certainly are. So, thank you for that reminder. [...]
Well done, Mr. President. You got your on-camera handshake with a man who orders the deaths of children. You got your lunch with one of the few remaining dictators on this earth and put the Leader of the Free World on the same level as a hereditary thug who killed his half-brother with chemical weapons.
Hats off to you, Mr. President. You’ve cut the sinews of a strategic alliance with Japan and South Korea that has contained North Korea, and kept a brake on Chinese power in the Western Pacific.
The entire piece is well worth the read. It will take a long time for Trump, even, to top the events of this week.
