For nine days, Donald Trump has been traveling across the Middle East and Europe, bringing every terrible stereotype about \u201cugly Americans\u201d to vivid life. He labeled<\/a> Germany (where he doesn\u2019t have business interests) \u201cvery bad\u201d after saying nary a critical word in Saudi Arabia (where he does have business interests). He chastised our partners in NATO while revealing he doesn\u2019t actually understand how it all works. He literally threw his weight around like an attention-starved problem child, and he broadcast his<\/a> every move to the world via his cellphone, which would be a security risk if we had a president anyone wanted to kidnap.<\/p>\n

Mostly\u2014when he wasn\u2019t trading arms for political<\/a> and personal<\/a> gain\u2014Trump acted like an embarrassing boor. He can\u2019t help proving that he and his followers are the punchlines to a joke the rest of the world is laughing at.<\/p>\n

Here are eight examples.<\/p>\n

1. Lied to the new French president about supporting him in the election even though it\u2019s really easy to find out he didn\u2019t.<\/h6>\n

\u201cYou were my guy," Trump reportedly<\/a> said to newly elected French president Emmanuel Macron, a quote that suggests the president doesn\u2019t know many of us have eyes and ears and internets that prove he\u2019s lying. For someone so practiced at lying, the president remains terrible at it.<\/p>\n

While Trump never explicitly endorsed noted Islamophobe<\/a>, Holocaust revisionist<\/a> and French National Front leader Marine Le Pen, he gushed over her racist bonafides during the French election. "She’s the strongest on borders, and she’s the strongest on what’s been going on in France<\/strong>," he said in an April interview with the Associated Press<\/a>. "Whoever is the toughest on radical Islamic terrorism, and whoever is the toughest at the borders, will do well in the election."<\/p>\n

On April 21, a couple days shy of the first round of voting, and 24 hours after the shooting of a police officer on the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es, Trump tweeted [Twitter twit delinked<\/em>], \u201cAnother terrorist attack in Paris. The people of France will not take much more of this. Will have a big effect on presidential election!\u201d… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From <Alternet<\/a>><\/font><\/p>\n

We all know that Trump had nothing but complements for Le Pen and nothing to say about Macron until after he won the election.  It was obvious that Trump supported a Nazi like Le Pen and himself, not a centrist.  Macron knew it well.<\/font><\/p>\n

I shared only the first example.  Click through for the other seven.<\/font><\/p>\n

However, his trip did give us a business opportunity.  We can now threaten Europe with another Trump visit, and I’m sure they’ll pay us to keep him here, unless we were sending him to The Hague.<\/font><\/p>\n
