The Embassy of Kuwait allegedly cancelled a contract with a Washington, D.C. hotel days after the presidential election, citing political pressure to hold its National Day celebration at the Trump International Hotel instead.
Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe it. That the president of the US would demean himself like this for such a tiny amount of money, like a sad little beggar – the whole world will be laughing. Putin would never make such a spectacle of himself for such peanuts. I never thought that in a competition of “who’s a greater embarrassment to their country” Putin would actually look more decent than his American counterpart. He, at least, wouldn’t humiliate himself for less than a billion.
The really sad part, though, is that I don’t even think most Americans realize that having their president hustle the Kuwaitis for a price of a hotel suite is demeaning. Like Russians would say, “You spit in their faces, and they think it’s morning dew.”
