I’m thinking about John Kennedy speaking at the Berlin Wall, rallying and electrifying the free people of the world against Soviet Totalitarianism with his immortal line “ ICH BIN EIN BERLINER.” I’m thinking about Reagan, a generation later, on the same ground saying,
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” These two men, of different parties were part of a continuum of American leadership that spanned nearly 80 years from FDR to Obama. Watching Trump degrade and sunder the western alliance isn’t just tragic, it is profoundly dangerous.
His ignorance, buffoonery and utter unpreparedness are on full display at the NATO summit. He has stained our national honor, humiliated America, disgraced his office and fueled the tide of rising autocracies with his imbecilic ravings.
Soon the world will see the remarkable spectacle of a servile and obedient American President lavishing praise on the Russian Autocrat as America’s allies inventory Trumps vandalism of essential western institutions
