TRUMP: Do you hear that laughing sound?

| September 1, 2019 1:00 AM

President Trump says he was joking about being “The Chosen One.” He doesn’t realize that he is the joke.

Hear that laughing sound coming across the Pacific? That’s the Chinese and North Koreans laughing about how they played President Trump like a senile old dotard. They got everything they wanted from Trump’s “negotiations,” namely favorable world press, increased status, and political legitimacy.

Hear that laughing sound coming from the northern and southern borders? That’s the Canadians and Mexicans laughing about how they bested Trump on the revised NAFTA agreement. They got everything they wanted from Trump’s “negotiations,” specifically increased car manufacturing, better wages and open pharmaceutical markets.

Hear that laughing sound coming across the Atlantic? That’s the Europeans laughing at how dumb we were to elect Trump. The Belgians, Dutch, Scandinavians, Spanish and Italians openly laugh at America these days. The French and Germans have always thought Americans were stupid, Trump just confirmed it. Even the Brits, struggling through their own Brexit absurdity, can’t understand why America elected a moron.

Don’t believe it? Try traveling.
