It’s no big secret that Donald Trump is a national embarrassment. Somehow he’s managed to keep a base of followers, mainly because they’re all just as racist and hateful as he is. However, slowly but surely, people are finally beginning to catch on.
During a segment with MSNBC former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, David Frum took the opportunity to call Donald out as the single most weak president this nation has ever had — and he believes that the rest of the world is catching on to it.
Frum pointed out that the few policies Donald has been able to squeak by with and actually put into action are built on nothing more than bluster and pointed out that while the may seem effective in the short-term, it’s actually a detrimental strategy to long-term policymaking.
“Weakness is provocative. Weakness tempts people to push the United States in ways in which the United States will ultimately not go,” Frum stated. “And Donald Trump is the most provocative and the most weak of all presidents.”
“Donald Trump wasted his year blustering about a wall that would be completely irrelevant to the problem even if you could build it in something less than a decade, even if you had the money. He failed in the time when he had majorities of Republicans in both houses of Congress to act on the measures that would have tightened up the asylum system so as to cut off the temptation to people to undertake these incredibly hazardous journeys with children with the results that we now see. The United States lured people in with weak enforcement, put them at risk and now is holding some of them — most of them are being released into the interior of the United States. That is the result of Donald Trump’s bluster. The Iranians are reacting the same way. The North Koreans. I come from the political right. Our core message for a generation has been weakness is provocative. Weakness tempts people to push the United States in ways in which the United States will ultimately not go. And Donald Trump is the most provocative and the most weak of all presidents.”
The man is a joke on a global level. That’s all there is to it.
