...and a disgrace to the rest of America.
They would follow him into a sewer and swear that it smelled like roses.
He was like the Ugly American President at the Hague today. He challenged CNN, NBC, and the New York Times, and everyone that challenged his version of what happened with the attack on Iran's nuclear program. He refused to endorse Article 5 of the NATO charter. But, he will be the first in line if he gets his balls in a tweezer and needs their help. Just as he is first in line for an interview with the "fake news" outlets when he wants to spread his lies far and wide.
Someday, he may even disgrace the Republicans?

And when he's gone... I predict a rudderless GOP that's going to flounder and lose multiple elections.
Think about it... the pre-Trump GOP was barely on life support.

Donald Trump and the US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, have admitted to some doubt over the scale of the damage inflicted on Irans nuclear sites by the US bombing at the weekend, after a leaked Pentagon assessment said the Iranian programme had been set back by only a few months.
The intelligence was very inconclusive, Trump told journalists at a Nato summit in The Hague, introducing an element of uncertainty for the first time after several days of emphatic declarations that the destruction had been total. The intelligence says we dont know. It couldve been very severe. Thats what the intelligence suggests.
The president then appeared to revert to his claim that it was very severe. There was obliteration. Later in the day, he claimed that was the conclusion from collected intelligence, and that the Iranian programme had been set back decades.
Trump also likened the US use of massive bunker-buster bombs on the Fordow and Natanz uranium enrichment sites to the impact of the US nuclear weapons dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the second world war, using the comparison specifically in reference to their impact in ending a conflict.
