...that shows Trump is ratcheting the insanity up to 11. I haven’t seen anyone cover these items, so I’d just add a quick rundown for people to see that in the midst of the Muller report release, impeachment talks and the Primary, Trump is busy damaging the reputation of the US.
Item 1: Trump wants to further escalate the trade war with Europe. Essentially, Trump initiated a trade war with our allies by putting Tariffs on among other things Steel and Aluminium. The EU retaliated by putting corresponding tariffs on consumer goods. Now Trump is upset since those tariffs are hurting US industries, so he wants to retaliate against the retaliation.

Item 2: Trump wants to veto a resolution in the UN that combats the use rape as a weapon on abortion grounds. The threat has been met with dismay around the world.

Whoever follows Trump, be it a Democrat (hopefully) or a Republican, will really have their work cut out for them to bring the US back into sane company. If Trump gets to keep this up for another term, we will be a pariah state by the end of it. Each and every day he is doing permanent damage to our status in the rest of the world.
Edit: And just like that I got Ninjaed by Joan McCarter on the Rape story.
I’d do any discussion on that topic in her diary since 1) it got published first, 2) it’s an actual diary, and 3) she knows how to write well.
