Trump’s Middle Finger to the World

Charlie Sykes: “Not since Uganda’s Idi Amin, festooned in a gold embroidered dark green uniform, ranted from the podium has the United Nations seen anything quite as weird and embarrassing as Wednesday’s performance by the American president.”

“Most news accounts don’t come close to capturing it, as much of the media seems intent on sane-washing Trump’s performance, using words like ‘scathing’ or ‘meandering,’ because headline writers shy away from words like ‘unhinged,’ ‘deranged,’ ‘unstable,’ ‘crazed,’ certifiable — and are generally reluctant to point out that the President of the United States is a crack-brained elderly man-child shouting at windmills and clouds.”
