Have a good look at America's new wannabe-buddies

[luzribeiro.livejournal.com]

It seems Trump admires the Saudi royal family and the UAE sheikhs; he believes Mubarak should never have been deposed in Egypt; and says he would sit with Vladimir Putin, like man with man, look him in the eye, and solve all the problems of international relations - because those two would "get along" pretty well.

And all these good guys seem to be reciprocating his cordiality now. Putin likes Trump. And now Kim Jong Un apparently likes Trump, too. Because only Trump can liberate Americans living under daily fear of nuclear attack by North Korea, dontchaknow.

Gotta love the way a brief look at the ones who are rooting for the guy who's promising to Make America Great Again, reveals who'd benefit the most of a Trump presidency. Somehow it just so happens that those are America's current foes. Curious that, eh?

Trump this, Trump that. I have an unhealthy habit of opening GoogleNews first thing in the morning, and what do I see there at the top? Always Trump. Trump said this, Trump said that, what would Trump do, what didn't Trump do. This guy is sucking the oxygen out of the room so hard, we'd have to go anaerobic. The media that he calls 'sleazes' keeps feeding him with exactly the food he relishes: attention. There's no such thing as bad publicity, there's just, you know, publicity. He feeds on attention and publicity. It's what he demands. And everyone seems more than eager to oblige.

I have to come up with ways to block this name from popping up in my news feed, but I don't seem to be able to find how exactly it's being done just yet. Shame. I might delete GoogleNews from my bookmarks until November.

Of course you do! You would be a horrible sleazy human being if you didn't.

Case in point (https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2016/05/31/yes-trump-sucks-up-all-the-media-oxygen-how-big-a-problem-is-that-for-clinton/).

As for his boasting of being at the same wave-length with big international players, that's all hot air (like most of his stuff). Putin would swallow him in one peace if they met. He wouldn't even have to chew.

As for the rest of the world, most would mock him, others would pretend to at least respect him (if they don't necessarily feign liking him), and one or two might try to play him to their own benefit. All in all, he's going to be a disaster internationally.

Well, I guess this means the Saudis are guaranteed to like and be liked by whoever is elected...

[luzribeiro.livejournal.com]

U sure 'bout that (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/20/barack-obama-saudi-arabia-visit-king-salman-relationship)?

Obama won't be elected. I was refering to Hillary...

[luzribeiro.livejournal.com]

Obama was elected, but the Saudis didn't like him anyway.

That was probably because of his plan to sit down with Ahmadinejad, like man with man, look him in the eye, and solve all the problems of international relations.

But to be clear - I meant the Saudis are guaranteed to like and be liked by whoever is elected in this upcoming election.

Yeah, and it seems troublingly sincere, not just the normal 'we like them for their oil' kinda way.

I suppose assholes do know their own.
