“Without us you’d all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps,” President Trump tells other world leaders at Davos as he explains his justification for desiring Greenland, which he contends “is sitting undefended.”

@newsguyusa Heads up readers, Greenland isn't in quotes in this reportage, as Trump was consistently saying 'Iceland'. I feel that was newsworthy of itself.

@newsguyusa Extremely difficult to listen. Arrogant, condescending, insulting, malicious. Like a mobster fantasizing about his robberies in a brothel. I admire the well-mannered audience. Had I been in the hall, I wouldn't have been able to stifle loud heckling. I probably would have already been led away in handcuffs.

@newsguyusa massively most of the world will remember him too; not however, with anything approaching fondness. Or we will simply forget him. Forget him totally.

@newsguyusa A NATO medal saying “Peas Prize” might solve a lot of problems…. Toddlers just need reassurance from the adults.

@jrossstocholm @newsguyusa and Mexico, assuming he can deport all the brown people.

@mbpaz @newsguyusa those are both in the same category for him, things he doesn’t know about.

@capnthommo @newsguyusa he’ll morph into a grotesque. His terrible combover will be remembered more like Homer Simpson’s, his fake tan will turn into the full makeup of Mimi Bobeck from the Drew Carey show. A blabbering idiot who was manipulated by anyone with a shiny bauble or line of praise, we’ll remember that part accurately hopefully.

@newsguyusa@flipboard.social And yet those same Republicans laughed when the previous president got a piece of ice... but that was somehow bad then and they like it now?

@newsguyusa I have spoken with Filipino sailors in full pidgin. I communicated with "illegal" immigrants in broken English. I have listened to every goddamn accent this world has to offer in supposedly English speaking customer support.

I rather listen to hours of that than for 5 minutes to Donald Trump.

His disdain not just encompasses international law and basic decency, but also rudimentary grammar and any kind structured speech.

English is not my native tongue. But I wince every time I listen at the abuse that language suffers by his mouth.
