Ed note: A paper clip on the collar was worn during World War II as a sign of resistance against the Nazis. It’s now past time to have a national protest symbol. In Heather Cox Richardson’s current newsletter, she notes the incredible embarrassing paranoid narcissistic speech by Trump at the UN.
“The speech was a dark fantasy of narcissism and Christian nationalism that struck at the heart of the very concept of the United Nations. In its wake, some journalists demolished Trump’s wild claims, while others bemoaned his destruction of diplomacy by berating our friends and allies while they were guests in our country. But it was foreign affairs journalist Ishaan Tharoor who captured the larger story of Trump’s speech.
“A senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” Tharoor wrote, “‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’”
Let’s show our paperclips!
