Is this really anything that is worth being upset about? Or is this just some anti trump stuff?
I had to ask myself this question a lot during the obama years and sometimes I found it wasn't a big deal.
Actually, my comment about him making us no longer a leader has nothing to do with the Rocket Man comment, but his overall failures in the realm of foreign affairs. The Rocket Man comment is just an example of his inappropriate behavior that plays well with his base but reflects poorly on us. While I don't like it, I've been unhappy with his performance regarding foreign affairs from the outset due to his treatment of the State Department and his behavior with other world leaders in pretty much every instance where he interacts with them.
He doesn't know how to behave as a statesman. Point blank. But his policy is really why I have an issue, because if he was acting this bad but had a diplomatic corps in place like we usually have, it wouldn't be an issue. But he has neglected that, which is a policy decision, and we suffer as a result.
It's just more fun to mock him for the superficial because most people don't understand policy enough to grasp the underlying issues for my concerns.
