Donald Trump and the decline of the West: Ten thousand years of civilization and we end up with this guy?

In trying to reckon with Donald Trump’s bizarre speech in Poland on Thursday, which was among the most troubling events of his troubling presidency, I couldn’t help thinking about Mahatma Gandhi’s supposed quip when asked by a British reporter what he thought of Western civilization: He thought it sounded like a good idea. As with so many famous quotations, the story is almost certainly apocryphal: It did not appear anywhere until almost 20 years after Gandhi’s death. But it endures for a reason, because it reflects the profound ambivalence and self-regard that lie at the very heart of the Western intellectual tradition.
President Trump professes no such ambivalence. He apparently thinks Western civilization is a good idea too, although it’s by no means clear what he thinks he means by that term and he is constitutionally incapable of irony or double meaning. Various commentators, including Salon’s Amanda Marcotte, have already pointed out that the propagandistic mishmash Trump delivered in Warsaw was aimed as usual at his most virulent supporters, and channeled a current of racism and white nationalism so overt it can hardly be called subtext.
In this context, “Western civilization” presumably means the culture of white people in Europe and North America, as if that could be described as one coherent and continuous phenomenon, and as if any of those terms could be clearly defined. On one hand, Trump is deploying a false and dangerous form of mythology for narrow-minded, present-tense political purposes. (Breaking news, I know!)
Of course he doesn’t understand anything about the long and complicated legacy of what is conventionally called Western civilization, and if he did he would be against it. Trump’s self-appointed status as defender of the West is primarily about excluding or vilifying Muslims and other immigrant groups, and secondarily about marginalizing those Westerners who believe that pluralism and cultural diversity are in fact central values of our civilization (at least in its better moments).

Having had his daughter sit in for him, does that make Ivanka part president? Maybe they're co-presidenting now? maybe it's only during nap time...


Imagine if any other president had his daughter sit in for him on a G20 meeting...or any meeting really.

Unable or unwilling...

George Soros pays Danbones to blame leftist conspiracies on George Soros. It's to throw people off of his real agenda.

Yup, Soros and the Koch brothers are in control of both the democrats and republicans. The whole left/right dichotomy is just a ruse to keep the sheeple fighting among themselves so the real owners of Yankyland can do whatever the hell they please. Baaaaaa!!!

Cue Wally!

so what is up with trumps inability to simply shake someones hand like a normal person?

Is it because he has an over inflated sense of self importance? is it because he's much better at other peoples body language reading then we think?

Here's another hand shake shake up video. You can see Frances First Lady trying to back away in this handshake video, but he just pulls her close. Maybe he's trying to grab her by the....

I had a good laugh the other day watching Trump play the fake-religious-guy role when he desparately met with the king-of-profiting-on-fake-news Pat Robertson. Robertson was sitting there half dead and just buying up all of Trump's baloney. What a pathetic sight.
