Tim Miller

And Macron and his wife.

Wife.

Brigitte and now Italy this morning run by Milani, right wing populist saying you can't use our our bases and you can't fly over here as part of this Middle East incursion you're doing.

You know, my reaction to that reading all that was simultaneously like, wow, how bad is Donald Trump fucked this up in our relationship with our allies?

We've talked about that like ad nauseum for a decade now.

The other thought I had was it kind of shows that like we have sort of a unique problem.

with this, like, corrupt sphincter who is, like, very unable to president well.

And, like, we also have a problem with right-wing populism.

But it seems like we kind of have a unique problem with Trump individually.

And that, like, you know, there's a lot of...

A lot of conversation out there.

It's not really cool, particularly on the left, to be like, you know, the biggest problem that we face right now is Donald Trump and that the orange man is bad.

That's like a little out of vogue right now.

But that does seem like the case to me.

Including supposedly Trump.

Well, no.

The neocons who are for it.

We're at the bulwark, and we should just say the bulwark thing, which is the thing that the bulwark has been right about, which we do like to say as often as possible, which is that you shouldn't have put an erratic lunatic in charge of the most powerful country in the world.

That was probably a mistake.

And doing it twice, especially after he tried a coup, was really dumb.
