Does he realize he's the laughing stock of the rest of the world and half of the USA

Mr Trump is laughing at the World. It is going to be his way.
Chinese know, 5,000 years old civilisation with 2 bad centuries, 95% of people are fools. Just don't let them vote.

Don't know much about her but seems to have the ability to get on the wrong side of governments.

In short:

A New Zealand immigration official has overturned a ban on the US conservative political commentator Candace Owens entering the country, citing "the importance of free speech".

New Zealand's immigration agency refused her an entertainer's work permit in November on the grounds that visas legally cannot be granted to those who have been excluded from another country.

She was barred from entry into Australia in October, with Immigration Minister Tony Burke citing her "capacity to incite discord in almost every direction".

Oh and apparently "The Orange Man" will be announce as Time Magazine's Person of The Year

What a joke. Elon clearly deserved it. Time Magazine is not what it used to be. Once had integrity.

I take that back. I forgot about the  "for better or for worse" provision. I note he has an asterisk next to his name indicating he is looked upon by the media with a degree of controversy. Wonder how his new best buddy feels after being overlooked for Trump.

Some how, I don’t think it will be that bad… Years ago, I got fed up with geo-politics and basically advocated we isolate a certain part of the world, let the them run their shit show and in a few years when it was over, we’d come back and see how it all went. I am now suggesting the rest of the world just ignore the USA for the next few years, treat it as a tv show or just pay us no mind, check back in 2028 and see how it all went…

Unfortunately that's not how the world works but I get your point. If history is any guide as to the future, one only need look to the originator of the famous phrase "when America sneezes the World catches a cold"

So um…not sure if I explained this…in 2008 ? McCain was duped into picking Palin as his running mate because his handlers thought a woman on the ticket would be more palatable than a black man to swing voters, this legitimized bat shit crazy  and sent out e bat signal to nut jobs everywhere…the “Tea Party” was formed and basically killed off the libertarian party which usually took votes from the republicans… 2016, Biden or Bernie Sanders probably would have beaten Trump and he’d be a fart in the past…Hillary Clinton and her BS pulled her shit to get herself nominated as she felt entitled to run and was so damned arrogant she thought she’d win hands down because everyone loved her husband, she was so arrogant, she didn’t bother to campaign in swing states, states Bernie Sanders had won in the primary…so there was that nonsense…Trump won…then, all the hype, crap etc…they propped up Joe, who by this time wasn’t up to it and was already showing signs of cognitive decay. People rallied said “…ok, it isn’t Hillary…” and voted for him…trump cried foul, election fraud, was caught trying to vote tamper in Georgia, January 6th and bam…Joe is clearly losing it, the Democrats needed to come up with a better candidate and should have done so sooner…the “end run” came after the republicans announced their ticket, Biden stepped down and instead of a better candidate (they didn’t really have one) Harris stepped in…she was/is a train wreck…way in over her head…was a shitty City DA, part of one of the worst governments California has seen in years a woman and a double minority, pandering to the entitled youth vote which is still disengaged and outnumbered…Things like DEI, pride flags, gay sex ed drag queen story hour trans people etc don’t matter to working people trying to survive in what is really a shitty economy…Trump pushed the right button with the right number of idiots and well we have what we have…

     Trump is the worst of all things, arrogant, belittling, loud, obnoxious, jingoistic etc…not sure if the world hates because he basically just an asshole or if nether hate him because he is a lousy world player..?
